My conscience finally caught up with me. I can no longer justify supporting this Trump/Musk platform by posting on it. Please find me either at Mastodon ( or Bluesky (. And maybe ask your followers to join you on one of those sites!

Forgive the repetitive messaging, but I want to reach as many folks as possible with the news that I can no longer justify staying on this platform. I'm now posting on Bluesky ( and Mastodon (. See you at one of those sites, I hope!

If you share the concerns that finally led me - and, just in the last week or so, a wave of other educators, scholars, journalists, scientists, etc. - to stop supporting this site, I hope you'll consider making a similar announcement to your followers. See you on the other side!

I'm guessing he plans to send Putin a gift basket
Pretty wild that we just went through an election where a top foreign adversary aggressively tried to stop Democrats from voting — including calling in bomb threats to swing state polling locations — and there’s zero media interest in learning what Trump plans to do about that.

5/5 But how many Republicans will (1) wake up and angrily vote out the scoundrels (assuming that's still possible), (2) simply refuse to admit what and who caused these things, or (3) willingly put up with misery as long as life is even worse for nonwhite and LGBTQ people?

"Democratic erosion happens when pol. leaders gain enough control over parties & other institutions to neuter their restraining force but leave them intact enough, at least for awhile, to keep the opposition playing by the rules." Read esp. the last sec'n:

Notice the ratio of news stories about the potential impact of Trump's victory on inflation and the deficit vs. the peril it poses to the very existence of immigrants and trans folks ... or to the survival of the rule of law and fair elections.
