George Packer tells @timmiller.bsky.social that what’s happening in Arizona isn’t just rhetoric—it’s a turbocharged mix of rage, religion, and threats to criminalize dissent. A real step toward authoritarianism, playing out in plain sight.

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.
What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.
This warmongering has got to stop.

NSF DDRIG funds political scientists, sociologists…
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.
