Lather, rinse, repeat
It’s wild how billionaires & corporations are blatantly immiserating everyone in this new Gilded Age & yet pundits & their affluent liberal fans are still trying to pretend they aren’t the problem.

Let them eat airport books & TED talks — a great populist message for 2028! Huzzah!

You see Tom Holland lip sync, you share Tom Holland lip sync we don't make the social media rules.

Yesterday we were fighting for clean water at the Earth Day event in my hometown, Fremont. We also got dozens of signatures telling the EPA to keep its grubby hands out of re-designation! If you want to say no to polluters you have until Wednesday.

So wait...

The U.S. government has gone from supporting El Salvador's right-wing government disappearing Salvadorans in the 1980s...

...to now supporting El Salvador's right-wing government disappearing Americans in the 2020s?

Is that about right?

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune.

It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

Everywhere
The message is: crowd large.

Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.

Events like this puncture that delusion.
You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

Unconscionable
The National Institutes of Health will no longer be funding work on the health effects of climate change, after Trump's directives to cut off NIH funding to grants that are focused on subjects such as gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, vaccine hesitancy, and diversity, equity and inclusion.
NIH Will No Longer Fund Research on the Health Effects of Climate Change
The directive follows the Trump administration’s broader agenda to gut efforts to document and address climate change.
