Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women

Tonight is a glaring reminder that gerrymandering this spineless party into power isn’t a viable fight for democracy.
It further erodes democracy while allowing Democrats in Congress to have even less of a backbone.
Fight for fair maps.
Organize the working class.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.

In the first 100 days of his second term, President Trump is aggressively implementing a far-right, multipronged plan to create an imperial presidency, even surpassing the vision laid out by Project 2025. New from @michaelsozan.bsky.social and Ben Olinsky:

I can’t get the images/spectacle of these men being dragged out of a plane in shackles and made to kneel to have their heads shaved out of my head.
Yes I know it’s de rigueur in so many contexts targeting so many people and has been forever.
And none of us should ever get used to it.

One of the “gang members” that was disappeared and deported is a queer tattoo artist

The headline really sanitizes what they did to this guy. Getting stripped naked, inadequate food, sleep deprivation sounds more like war on terror ear rendition than "interrogation."

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Disturbing prediction from @pkrugman.bsky.social: If Trump's deportations really happen, inflation will spike, then MAGA loyalists will corrupt government info to mask it.
For autocrats, he says, "among their first targets are statistical agencies."
