Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

And let’s extend that even further. The algorithms are manipulating us. The content creator ecosystems are unstable and always will be exactly because of this.
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."
SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"
Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes.
You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that.
Please share as well.

Trump's anti-market economic worldview on display. He believes that spending money is a sign of weakness. This is the same logic as his claim that last week that the precipitous decline in shipping volumes at the country's ports is "a good thing, not a bad thing," because "we lose less money."/1

Well I for one am glad that the Nazi saluter and Apartheid supporter playing video games and tweeting 22 hours a day in his coin-operated harem while on inhuman daily face-melting doses of ketamine is reforming the multi-trillion dollar federal government with an eye towards efficiency.

It won’t be long before Planned Parenthood will only treat white patients, with the permission of their husbands.
Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump.
What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too?
These orgs complying are cowardly.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.
One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

I genuinely wish more people would engage with this idea
To be fair, one man technically does not have this kind of power; he has it only because he has the support of an entire political party and its movement
