🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Millions of Americans are now facing the kind of choice we've long taught about in ethics classrooms using Nazi Germany examples -- will "I was just following orders" work, in retrospect?

I've been tracking/laughing at gov attempts to define "sex" & "gender" for ~10 years.

For those wondering, yesterday's EO "DEFENDING WOMEN" reads like a Netflix comedy special (for those inclined to laugh at the absurd).

Sharing here a long thread I just shared on Threads about Zuckerberg. Yes, I encouraged folks to come to Bluesky. Anyway, pull up a chair.

I'll add to this the other part of this NGC-1380 JWST observation, which shows the outskirts with *a lot* of stars (the right side) and incredible far away galaxies! 🔭

This was not the aim of this observation, but the deep-field vision it created is so amazing!

Public transit should indeed be free. I can't picture a scenario where I would want fewer people taking public transit and taking some other mode of transportation.

It's like complaining about too many people using the public library. Some services are just all around great.

I swear I don't get any kick backs for reposting this but the underlying issue is the media has a bias against protest especially liberal protest. It's called the protest paradigm and its been documented for more than 40 years at this point. Link in next skeet.
Crickets who where? Just because nobody organized a pussy hat march in front of your house on Saturday morning when you didn't have anything better going on doesn't mean people aren't and haven't been holding sustained protests in the streets, at city councils, and at fascists' houses for years
