- Reposted by drg78Trump wants to give Musk’s DOGE army access to individual personal data for millions of Americans, so they can decide if you’re dead or cheating or should be deported. Spying machine, surveillance state, panopticon—whatever you call it, welcome to our terrifying reality. New from me @thebulwark.com
- Federal data is an invaluable national asset and economy driver. But for Trump & Co., it's "woke" and must disappear, or it's personal, private, and perfect for weaponization against people and groups they don't like. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

What its like to be a faculty member in Florida, elsewhere, and maybe your local university soon. Racists try to entrap you into saying something that the Governor has deemed is grounds for dismissal, or make false claims. Free speech on campus is clearly declining.- Brutal account of what it’s like to teach at the University of Florida right now in the NYT—extraordinary climate of fear. People afraid to say intersectional and talk about lynchings. Fake students trying to entrap Muslim faculty or just making things up altogether. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/o...

Protecting children from harm must be a priority that transcends religious boundaries. It is not anti-Christian to hold clergy accountable — it is pro-child, pro-justice and pro-human rights.
- Washington just passed a law putting children’s safety above religious secrecy. The Catholic Church calls it "government overreach." Trump's Justice Dept is launching an "investigation." That tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/trump-just...
