For the sake of future generations, we need to be clear about both the horrors AND about how stupid everything is at the same time.
Previous recorders of history failed us by not emphasizing the stupidity—and its presence is one of the reasons the horrors aren’t taken seriously.

I can promise you from personal experience that the most frequent targets of gender harassment in women's bathrooms in the era of bathroom bans will be cis women who do not look stereotypically feminine in some way.

A short thread on what refusal to comply can look like, with specifics, examples, and ideas for what the future may hold.

When you wear an N95 to an organizing event you are sending a signal to high risk people that:
1. I care about you
2. I understand that public health has been made into a tool of propaganda
3. I will keep you safe, even if Im not worried for myself
4. I am willing to listen 1/3

We are all Ukraine now. I recommend folks read “Iron Curtain” by @anneapplebaum about the post-war program of psychological and social destruction wrought by the Soviets in Hungary and its neighbors. Those countries were ground to a fine powder and are still trying to recover.

No big deal. Just a Putin-aligned retired general threatening a former president.
What do you say @SecretService, does he get a doorknock, or are we no longer in that business? The public wants to know. @POTUS @NatSecCNN

Just a reminder, as the country is forced to the Right, that you’re going to see a lot of media and political figures aggressively normalize Trump and authoritarianism.
This isn’t going to operate the way you expect it will.

The great genius of the Putin-Musk-Trump ticket was to disguise historical geopolitical capture as standard partisan conflict. The bulk of Republicans and indeed the overwhelming majority of the American public has no idea of the severity or consequences of what has happened.

1/We should see the last ~10 years “of a piece,” with many parallel operations designed to destabilize the west and build to this moment for Russia.
The rise of networked information warfare in Ukraine, the US, Europe and Australia. Perception hacking, reflexive control.
One of the most stunningly unhelpful error messages I've ever seen, courtesy of the @MassRevenue website. (spoiler alert: there's no checkbox)

JD Vance is a historic piece of shit who sold out his family and people to make a buck and gain power. He’s in bed with techno-fascist billionaires and is one of the foremost advocates for a literal fascistic ideology that seeks to take MAGA to the next level of oppression.

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

🧵 Six years ago, Bari Weiss published her intro to the "Intellectual Dark Web," and in the interim it's become crystal-clear that the IDW was just one of many rebranding efforts done by the right.
