Impeach and remove. This could not be more urgent. Trump and company have declared war on the American people. He has made clear that nobody can safely disagree with him while he remains in power.
Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

The stripping of secret service details from officials Trump wants to get revenge on is like a slow motion Night of the Long Knives. 😡

I haven't posted here much. But I turn to you now because I am trying to figure out how to cope with the new, horrifying political reality. This week I have been an ostrich with my head in the sand, so as not to see the onslaught of cruelty, hubris, and misinformation coming every day. 1/2

This is an excellent blog post about Tarnschriften (Hidden Writings) during the Nazi era and how they are again salient.
Makes me think of this blog a friend just shared elseweb. dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

HOLY SHIT. Layoffs & eliminations of whole depts at Sonoma State, by my former Provost. Hope our CSU union can fight this!!
I will pass on details of how to write the Sonoma State President and administration when I have them. According to this report, 46 faculty positions are being cut, and 24 degree programs, as welk as the intercollegiate athletics program. www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news...
‘Shock and grief’: Sonoma State University makes deep cuts to staff, departments, degrees and all student athletics
In a message to the campus community, Interim President Emily Cutrer said prior reductions had proven insufficient to resolve the university’s financial challenges.

Alas, this is me, too. :(
Me: I will just relax for a few minutes by playing a mindless game on my phone
Phone: Cool, every 90 seconds you will just need to watch a little animated snuff film featuring a mother and child freezing to death, or a king slowly being crushed against a spiky wall by piles of falling rubble

I was listening to @laist.com and Larry Mantle had a segment on what TV shows people want to see rebooted. I called in to say that I wanted to see a reboot of Quincy, ME, but with a woman as Quincy. He took the call. It was epic. Maybe someone in Hollywood heard? 😅

Such interesting and important work in this corner of the field. 👇
Check out this online exhibition put together by Kai* Brust on gender non-conforming lives under Nazi rule. With over 30 objects and annotations it's such a gift for research and teaching alike: queer-identities-wagtail.k8s.unicode-it.de/en/
