The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.
It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Every day, I find myself wishing that our new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Organizers in Crisis, was already out in the world, because I think it could really help people right now. Preorders really make all the difference in terms of helping a book become widely available.

On Thursday, RFK.JR's ACIP will attack one of these vaccines (HBV) and restrict access to it.

The No Kings protests are indeed pretty mainstream. People telling you to manage your risk aren't telling you not to go to protests.
Go to protests! Have fun! (seriously—building community and solidarity is a big part of it).
But be aware of risks and manage them-even mainstream events have them.

They're not being malicious, but they *are* social engineering: by calling it an RSVP, they heavily imply that it's about managing the actual event logistics.
Humans are bad at weighing risk, and terrible at weighing it in comparison to reward.

The thing about organizations wanting people to RSVP for protests because contact lists are useful to them is absolutely true and it also has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's in your best interest to RSVP for a protest (it is not in your best interest).

The thing about lying is that it snowballs quickly. So, when you’re trying to lie to an entire nation, there’s infinite ground you have to cover. It is simply not possible to not get caught. The Trump regime is wrapped in its own web of lies, one it will keep tripping over until it’s stuck for good.
