I love the public.
“walked out at the interval cos it’s about facts & not the movie made into a musical as I thought. I would rate this 2 out of 10 because it’s not really about the movie it’s just based on historical facts also there isn’t any Irish dancing.” @TitanicOnTour

1923: Hitler’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 10 years later, he and his co-conspirators took over Germany.
2021: Trump’s coup failed. No real consequences, no changes. 20 months later, he is holding hate rallies and his co-conspirators are still in Congress.

When people talk about the rising potential for political violence in the US, I think they imagine some great big civil war. Extremism experts are far more worried about lone attackers doing big damage.
Me: Do you think we should be worried about another Oklahoma City?
Historian Nicole Hemmer: Yes, I do.
I had a long talk with @pastpunditry about the parallels between the 1990s and the present. It's deeply alarming stuff.

Ted Cruz compares FBI search of Trump to Feds going after Al Capone for tax evasion. Because Al Capone was so innocent?

“No kink at pride” was always a psyop from the right. It paved the way for the current drag moral panic.

It's PUBLIC HEALTH not "personal responsibility health"
Governments: You need to stop shifting the burden and the blame.
Be accountable for protecting the health of the people by implementing public policies.
This is what you all were elected to do.
Do your job!

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD.
I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight.
If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.

“Gender Critical” is just a soft way of saying transphobic. Call them what they are.
Also: there are no LGB rights without trans rights. Trans people didn’t co-opt the community/movement, *they were there from the start.* Don’t forget what trans women of color have done for us.

This is extremely troubling.
Aroace comic creator Maia Kobabe (e/em/eir) is being sued by U.S. politicians. They claim that Gender Queer, eir graphic memoir about eir life as a non-binary, aromantic and asexual person, is obscene.

And this is almost certainly not a full stop. There are many who, having advocated states’ rights in this matter, will seek to convert to a federal ban, which could come to pass if GOP control all branches in 2025. If so the structural tensions between the states could explode.
