Call your Representatives and Senators. Tell them to assert their Art. 1, Section 8 constitutional power. No war with Iran.

All this talk about the need for “civics.” But when Trump is walking around saying about going to war with Iran “I haven’t decided yet”; and “maybe I will; maybe I won’t”, how many media outlets are reminding Americans that Art. 1, Sec 8 grants the power to declare war to CONGRESS. Do your job.

A reminder that we don’t need to invoke Germany to describe what we’re seeing with ICE. It was Americans who put Japanese people in camps on this land. This is not new.
American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug. We act like this stuff is foreign to America when it’s what formed America.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

This is exasperating
NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.
I talked to NPR about seeing DHS White House liaison Paul Ingrassia at a Nick Fuentes rally last year.

This is all absolutely terrifying. Please everyone who can, do something.
I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

This is worth celebrating! I know a lot of folks (including myself) who called their senators about this today, and it's important to celebrate a victory when we get it!
The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

Whenever I discuss the MAHA movement or critique aspects of it, I inevitably receive comments like, “At least we’re finally talking about ways to improve health and reduce chronic disease.” But public health didn’t start with MAHA.
Public Health Didn’t Start with MAHA: What We Can Learn from Let’s Move!
Many MAHA supporters claim it’s the first movement to prioritize America’s health, but history tells a different story.

The fact that an unelected rich private citizen is deciding at a governmental level what is and is not merit based is all you need to know about the true meaning of meritocracy in America.

I truly believe white evangelicals will be remembered in the history books for how successfully (and brutally) they indoctrinated children into their totalizing worldview. The width and breadth of it is frankly astonishing (growing up I just thought this is what everyone did with their kids!!!)

The funniest thing about an anti-Christian bias task force is that most Christians don’t even agree on what a real Christian is. So then, what is anti-Christian?
They’ve “No Scotsman” fallacied themselves into a corner. This only ends with the saints turning the weapons on each other.

Friendly reminder that Dr James Dobson started the FRC, he truly is behind the vast majority of anti-trans legislation (and it’s one of many reasons why I’m obsessed with besmirching him)

Chappell Roan is completely correct! Musicians are workers, and we deserve fair payment & dignity in our workplace. UMAW introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act with Rep. Rashida Tlaib to build a fairer music industry and increase wages for musicians. We need your help to make it happen!

You know what is actually hilarious? My evangelical parents raised me on that Corrie Ten Boom shit. I’ve been anti-fascist since I was 8 years old, baby! They just never expected me to call THEM fascists but honestly that’s on them.

I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

Debunking can be a fun way to find an audience in science communication, but I think it can be over-relied on.
We should be celebrating more than we are defending, not just because it’s less miserable, but also because it’s good marketing!

In God Gave Rock & Roll to You, I wrote about how Salem Media sought to manage the loss of #CCM audiences by expanding conservative political talk-radio offerings.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.
It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”
Be specific!
