The thing about fascism is that a significant chunk of people who obey in advance do so not out of fear, but eagerness: they perceive in the fascist regime their chance to settle cultural scores, regardless of costs

People are mad, and we should be. We know when we’re being scammed. In the name of “efficiency” Musk is firing park rangers and cancer researchers, and defunding Medicare and Medicaid, all to find money for tax breaks for himself and big corporations.

Updated: There are now 17 immigration detainees at Guantanamo Bay, aged 23 to 62. They are from Honduras, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala and Ecuador. Eight of them were taken into ICE custody after President Trump took office.

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury. I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one. It's important.

A particular non-white person's show getting cancelled can happen for any number of reasons. An entire lineup of non-white people getting their shows cancelled is a lot harder to explain away

“They’re not coming out and saying, ‘We want to fire the queers,’” said “Michael,” a gay employee at the Department of the Interior. “They’re not asking people, ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?’ But in the end it’s going to have the same effect.”

Standing up for science means standing up for knowledge, for democracy, for liberty, and for America. If you're based in Texas, rally with us on March 7th at 4pm at the Texas State Capitol. If we stand together, we will defeat the forces of tyranny. Also I bought a Beaker costume.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

New — State Department employees have been instructed *not* to reply to OPM’s 5 bullet email, per an email I reviewed, saying leadership “will respond on behalf of the Department.”

Colleagues,

You may have received a message from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management requiring you submit five work-related accomplishments. The State Department will respond on behalf of the Department. No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their Department chain of command.

Thank you,

A1: Pursuant to the American Relief Act, 2025, beneficiaries can continue to receive Medicare telehealth services wherever in the United States and territories they’re located, including in their home, through March 31, 2025. They don’t need to be in a rural area or a medical facility.

It’s Trump’s second term and he still doesn’t know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid.

Alice Miranda Ollstein on Twitter: “Trump said in an interview last night: “Medicare, Medicaid — none of that stuff is going to be touched.”

Today he endorsed the House plan to slash billions from Medicaid.”

NEW: A first-of-its-kind analysis by @propublica.org found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

A line chart depicts data from 2017 to 2023. The line is labeled "Sepsis rate". The line starts at 2.9% in 2017 and hovers around 3% through 2021. The line spikes up in 2022 and 2023, where it ends at 4.9%. The years 2022 -2023 are labeled "Years abortion was banned."

I don't generally go out into the public timeline and fuck with people unless I'm certain they'd be into it. But when they show up in my replies, they get what they're askin' for. Most notoriously, that time a magazine editor ended up on the back cover of my book being a jackass.

The back cover of the Effin' Birds Field Guide. Beneath a glowing recommendation from Jodie Sweetin of Full House is the following review:
"The idea of combining a pic of a bird with some lazy half-obscenity is really something that would barely amuse elementary school children... very sad and contrived"
