Authoritarian takeovers in other countries happened more slowly, in part because there was more institutional opposition.
Scholars and journalists in the U.S. *need* to sound the alarm against Trump, even if it gets them accused of being partisan.

This is absolutely about racism.
White women everywhere this is a call for you to stand up to white men now. We have been too silent for too long with too much fear. We are powerful. We have a voice.
Time to use it.

Two features. Two finalists. Sometimes I just gotta see if my writing is resonating with anyone other than my mom - who says I should just call Ava and get her to direct one of my scripts. Cuz that’s how it works. Thanks @creativescreen.bsky.social and @networkisa.bsky.social!

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Every single Republican in the Wisconsin Congressional delegation just voted on a budget resolution to cut billions in federal funds for BadgerCare, directly endangering their most vulnerable constituents, while adding trillions to the national debt.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
