“We have a president in panic surrounded by weaklings who will submit to his diktats and sycophants happy to egg him on. And so we enter a period more dangerous than the last months of Nixon. “ Brace Yourself for … Full. Blown. Panic.

Thanksgiving is upon us. Time to cook, eat, be together, and praise. I wrote this piece for @thebulwark.com a while ago, but we could all use a reminder to be kind, put down our phones, and listen.
Federal workers: The government shutdown may have ended, but we know that many of you are still dealing with its lasting repercussions.
We want to hear from you. Here's how to securely reach out: https://propublica.org/tips
The clever team at @literaryhub, rounded up some great No Kings, anti-Fascist reading today, including my article in @damemagazine

There will be a day when he’s no longer in office. There will be a day when he’s gone. -- I wrote about all this and more for @damemagazine www.damemagazine.com/2025/10/30/c...
At the 42nd Annual meeting of the Southeastern Regional Genetics Group (SERGG) in Asheville, NC, Patrick O’Connor screened his documentary The Zebra and the Bear. P. J. Brooks from NIH spoke about the future of genetic testing. Powerful evening. I'm not used to seeing scientists get so emotional.
This MS/DanishTrumper forgot to file his immigration form in 2015, when President Obama was still in office. A removal order issued during Trump’s first term led to his current detention. But he blames Biden—and still supports Trump. msindy.org/p/detained-u...
'What if a student asks why?' Holocaust lessons may be banned under state's law

“Author and educator Margaret McMullan sounded the alarm in The Bulwark about a new Republican-written law in Mississippi that intends to abolish diversity, equity, and inclusion programs…effectively make teaching about the Holocaust impossible.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
It seems to me long past time to question the 79-year-old president’s mental health. — @hcrichardson.bsky.social
Many thanks to the @msindy.bsky.social for reprinting this article from @thebulwark.com : Teaching the Holocaust just got harder in Mississippi msindy.org/p/teaching-t...
"I’m always a bit anxious when discussing the Holocaust in Southern classrooms because I never know if I’ll encounter antisemitism, hate, denial, or conspiracist nonsense...But another problem has since come up." @margaretmcmullan.bsky.social on a new Mississippi law:
Important @thebulwark.com article by Margaret McMullan this morning about a new Mississippi law that can punish broadly defined infractions (e.g. education that raises "awareness" of "issues related to race") by stripping funding from whole school districts www.thebulwark.com/p/teaching-t...
I wrote about a new state law that forbids education increasing ‘awareness’ of issues relating to race. Think about that. How are educators supposed to teach history? www.thebulwark.com/p/teaching-t...
"From shoulder pads to swimsuit makeovers, from celebrity interviews to heartbreaking loss—Margaret McMullan’s essay is a funny deeply moving look at Glamour in the 1980s. A must-read on identity, ambition, and the stories we choose to tell." chicagostorypress.com/f/i-was-a-gl...
I was a Glamour “Don’t” way more often than I was a “Do.” A “Wrong” more than I was a “Right.” chicagostorypress.com/f/i-was-a-gl...

I interviewed a man with a gun at the No King's protest in Gulfport, MS. He also waved a Don't Tread On Me flag (cue irony). He would not tell me his name. After the shootings in Minnesota that very morning, tensions were high. Still, it was a joyful, nonviolent occasion. msindy.org/p/opinion-on...
I wrote about the No Kings Protest yesterday in Gulfport, MS for @msindy.bsky.social Opinion: On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a glimpse of an emerging protest movement msindy.org/p/opinion-on...
It’s past time for the mainstream media to describe this authoritarian madness accurately.
We are not alarmed enough and his base still adores him.
He’s trying to establish a police state. And he stumbled. Here are the facts

No notes. The winner.
Time to focus on Peter Thiel. He is the shadowy billionaire behind the curtain pulling the strings. His company Palantir is a huge threat to American freedoms. We need greater exposure to the philosophy and the people who surround Thiel and what they are trying to accomplish. #peterthiel #palantir
Trump and the G.O.P. have decided to think of batteries as a culture-war issue...They think they’re attacking hippie-dippy green energy...they’re really disarming America’s future drone force and ceding the key weapon of the modern battlefield to China. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/o...
Democrat J.D. Scholten, a member of the Iowa state House, just announced that he's launching a campaign for U.S. Senate against Republican Joni Ernst on the heels of her dismissive remarks about Medicaid cuts in the GOP budget bill.
