The year before Election 2024, I was helping run UCLA’s DEI Office in LA—and siccing my AuDHD savant 🧠 on analyzing not just Project 2025’s substance, but its impact on my nation. I predicted (not really a prediction) all these horrors. Most accused me of trying to scare ppl into voting for Harris.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

CO2 emissions from the biggest fossil fuel cos have been directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves. The research has been hailed as a “leap forward” in the legal battle to hold big oil accountable for the damages being caused by the climate crisis. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Every remaining American who believes in both science and democracy MUST read this letter carefully. In resigning, the Director of the CDC has written an extraordinary treatise on our authoritarian administration that is as compelling as anything I’ve seen written before. x.com/dr_demetre/s...

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
