NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

ICE kidnapping people off the streets over op eds, anyone perceived as a "gang member" shipped to a hard labor camp without any legal proceedings... It's not even a little subtle what's happening. I'm just devastated beyond words

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

Trump and his band of incompetent hirelings proving that dei wasn’t the problem and republicans esp magat are the most unpatriotic, dumb and spineless bunch of people. Not one has had the courage to condemn the incompetent and dangerous behavior of those involved in the chat esp Hegeseth

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.

Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

All of this is teeing up what some legal experts worry could be a constitutional crisis. Or, to put it simply: what happens when the Trump administration blatantly defies the courts? www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Stansbury: "What it looks like is they are trying to further rig the system. What does the SEC? It regulates the stock market. Why are billionaires trying to take over control of the stock market? It is the place where money is made ... same with the FCC."

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

It's interesting how none of the talk about whether people are "ceding ground" by leaving X, etc, seems to engage with how unsafe that environment is for some people. And I don't mean uncomfortable. A high level of visibility over there has long had a cost, and that cost kept getting higher.

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

The feature that allows you to remove your post from someone’s quote is really great. The quote post feature is one of the biggest forms of harassment on X.

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage:

- “Invalid Handle” everywhere
- Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow)
- Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow)
- Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff
