ICE was forced to back out of the Super Bowl thanks to public outrage. Good job, humans. Keep being outraged. You should be.

I owe an apology to my middle school math teacher.

I was trying to figure out how many stitches to cast on for a knitting project.

Turns out I WILL actually use cross-multiplying in my real life. πŸ˜…

I was so excited to go and do the call part of the call/response "Tell me what democracy looks like!"/"This is what democracy looks like!"

Tragic how it ended because it was so great leading up!

Thank you. It was not the way I wanted the night to end that's for sure.

As we were running away there was still a lot of compassion and solidarity, as we were further away and felt safer people were handing out waterbottles and checking on strangers mental status. It was shocking and scary but humanity in general was winning.

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants.

As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Cassidyβ€”a doctorβ€”has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy.

Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed.

People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop.

The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it.

But also no one cares, so here we are.

Rubio is talking deporting US CITIZENS to a prison in El Salvador if we are "perceived enemies" of Tr*mp's regime. This is 100 kinds of illegal and terrifying. THIS IS AN AUTHORITARIAN TAKEOVER of the US. This is a coup, where is the military, the citizenry, the Congress stopping this insanity??

How quickly is our 53-day descent from democracy to fascism moving?

Tonightβ€”tonight!β€”I published a report asking how long it would be until Musk had normalized the Nazi salute as a mockery of β€œwokeness.”

The answerβ€”from my time of publicationβ€”was under an hour.

America is in very serious trouble.

"But what about the kids" is the standard moral panic playbook to attack adults, usually because they know they can't do so directly without everyone seeing what's going on.

All of this is a stalking horse not just to take away trans adult rights, but gay rights and women's rights.

Chuck Schumer tweet: if Trump is so serious about getting rid of aliens by any means necessary, why doesn't he release the UFO files? 😜

Gustavo Petro tweet: the souls of Caesar, Tarik, BiohΓ³, and Bolivar visited me and told me to counter-tariff the rabid Yanqui dog.

13 year old Kat: Waow! This is such a deep movie about the rise of fascism!

29 year old Kat: Lordy, these movies were so bad. No one could tell Lucas no; auterism turned septic...

38 year old Kat: ...George was *cooking.*

I loved this book! Your writing is so well done and I have passages all over it marked up. It was a book that stretched me, that took a while because I had to digest what you were saying. Love love loved this work!
