What’s in a name? Is it ok to call X “Twitter,” or are we being hypocrites? Isn’t this the same as deadnaming someone? Here are my thoughts on it, and let us know what you decide! #twitter #canwestillcallittwitter #weveallhearditbefore #podcast #linguistics

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

Trump isn’t Hitler , but he’s operating out of a very similar authoritarian playbook. We don’t need to fear monger about a new Third Reich. Trump wants something different, but it’s still something very different than democracy #fascism #trump #hitler #authoritarianism #weveallhearditbefore
