One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

People blaming pro-human rights activist who protested against genocide in Gaza for Trump's win are skapegoating! @donlemonofficial.bsky.social
Joe and Kamala leveraged our democracy against supporting the bombing. THEY had the power to change course. THEY were the ones who turned Gaza into rubble!

Legally, it's very important to understand that the opponents of birthright citizenship are the ones ignoring history and tradition. On the basis of ahistorical, reactionary account of citizenship that, if you took it seriously, would result in a Fourteenth Amendment that didn't overrule Dred Scott.

instead of affirming trump’s belief that he is king of america, it is important to recognize that federalism provides states the tools to push back or at least ignore these orders

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

Ending Birthright Citizenship is a DIRECT HIT against the U.S. Constitution.
How the Supreme Court handles this will determine whether we hang on to any thread of democracy.
