Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES

This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote

But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…

The “crisis” is white people.

Well it clearly can’t mean “white” because then your statement cancels out

Really gotta emphasize this: the targets & requirements in the Clean Power Plan were *so* modest, *so* conservative, *so* unambitious that *the power sector met them anyway, in the course of normal market operation*. The regs would have had basically no effect at all relative to the status quo.

? The two most famous political machines are from NYC (Tammany hall) and Chicago, both of which are very white.

The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

For the history of America, Black Americans — and Latinx, and Asian, etc — have fought for freedom and full democracy.

But white people mostly haven’t, for 200+ years.

We think we’re the ones who know. But many have far better, far more recent experience.

It’s why white people are terrified

I have a related story from Czechia:

My company had a small office there in ‘13. When I went to visit, we naturally toured Prague. It was great.

But by far what I most remember is my employees telling stories of their older brothers rallying for freedom, and how tense and critical it was.

What the death of Direct File tells us about state capacity We CAN have nice things - if we want them

New, from me: American taxpayers will spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars — not to pay their taxes, but to report them to the government.
Thank Trump, who killed Direct File, a free tax high-quality reporting tool that IRS had built. 🧵

Orbán's best bet for regime survival — for returning to power — wasn't staging a doomed January 6-style putsch in the face of overwhelming defeat.

It was retreating, and doing everything he can to preserve regime elements that would allow for a return to competitive authoritarianism in the future.

we will have to see how well he follows through but so far the rhetoric from Magyar is a pitch perfect model for what we need from the next Dem administration

A good thread that outlines how much work it will be just to get the parasites out of our government.

There is far, far more work to rebuild from the destruction they have wrought.
