Season 4 of The Boys shows it gets fascism at a deeper level than you might think. #TheBoys www.losangelesblade.com/2024/06/19/a...

Amazon Prime's series, The Boys, gets fascismwww.losangelesblade.com If the series points to what’s happening now in the world feels too blunt, perhaps it’s because it's the blindingly obvious

The Cass review is a preview of what comes next in the US for adults: * Announce a lit review by State BOM/FDA * Stack it with anti-trans folks * Filter out all the data you don't like * Find no evidence * Recommend unproven conversion talk therapies www.losangelesblade.com/2024/04/15/t...

My latest. Between the RNC, Fox, and Schedule F, the truth according to the GOP and all of the government will be whatever Trump and his Christian Nationalist friends say it is. "He who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." www.damemagazine.com/2024/04/09/l...

There's a weird disconnect between what policies people want, and who they vote for. Most Americans don't want abortion bans, bans on birth control, and destruction of separation of church and state. But they still vote for Republicans. newrepublic.com/article/1804...

I gave a presentation on my book, and how it relates to what we are seeing happening to trans people in the US. My conclusion is that we're heading towards a very dark place. This is a tough watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMgf...

You can now get American Fascism as an audiobook from any of these locations. Coming soon to Amazon / Audible too. It's an all trans project. Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/audiob... Chirp: www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/a... NOOK: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/american-f...

I took a look at what it Lara Trump at the RNC means: 1. The RNC will explicitly be used for shakedowns / blackmail of donors if Trump 2. Lara is a mole to ensure loyalty 3. RNC exists only to keep Trump in office 4. They want a hereditary dictatorship newrepublic.com/article/1795...

The article title doesn't really say it, but this new piece I wrote lays out the case for why I believe Trump is aiming to get his own Tiananmen Square Massacre, why, and how he plans on getting it. www.damemagazine.com/2024/02/22/a...

Just because someone is perfectly nice to people within their "in-group" doesn't mean they're not a fascist. newrepublic.com/article/1788...

This year is going to be even worse for trans people than last. And 2025 worse than that. And so on, until we either cease to exist in half the country, or all of it. newrepublic.com/article/1781...

My latest for The New Republic. The truth of the matter is that a little less than half of the Republican base absolutely, explicitly, wants fascism. Our political system was not meant to handle this. newrepublic.com/article/1777...

“This is an existential threat to democracy in America the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Civil War,” @brynntannehill.bsky.social says. “Even more so, perhaps.” gregolear.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

This Is What American Fascism Will Look Like (with Brynn Tannehill)gregolear.substack.com A second Trump term would end democracy in the United States.

I interviewed non-binary actor Samantha Béart about their multiple long-listings for BAFTA awards, Baldur's Gate 3 role as Karlach, and much more. www.losangelesblade.com/2023/12/24/n...

Non-binary actor Samantha Béart on Baldur’s Gate 3 & morewww.losangelesblade.com The challenges of being a non-binary performer, their work on BG3, being longlisted for a BAFTA Games Award in 2023

Sometimes you just get the perfect combination of cards.

So, where's my other Twitter refugees? It's seriously becoming untenable over there. Just hot and cold running Nazis everywhere.

I had the great pleasure of getting to interview Jennifer English and Aliona Baranova for the LA Blade regarding their work on Baldur's Gate 3, and the relationship they formed on set. #BG3 #Shadowheart www.losangelesblade.com/2023/11/05/q...

I had a massive database of statistics measuring player performance, a master's degree in statistics, and too much time on my hands, so this seems almost inevitable. Welcome to the Super-Unofficial 2022-2023 NBA Player Awards! www.brightsideofthesun.com/2023/10/11/2...

I did a statistical deep dive to evaluate the new players on the Suns roster. Who will find a regular spot in the rotation, and who will ride the pine? www.brightsideofthesun.com/2023/10/6/23...

BG3 is proof that LGBT inclusive media doesn't equal "money losing enterprise". www.losangelesblade.com/2023/10/01/b...

Please forgive what amounts to a moment of navel gazing. But I wrote this, and I'm going to give it a go for the next few months to post about things that are sources of fun, and less about fear. www.damemagazine.com/2023/09/29/w...

BREAKING: A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit (Elrod, Haynes, Douglas) allows Texas’s book-ban law to go into effect, issuing an administrative stay of the district court ruling enjoining enforcement of the law. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-appo...

The game Tuberville is playing is far more dangerous than just holding up promotions and endangering women in the service. He's setting us up the way McConnell did in 2016 to achieve MAGA institutional capture of the military. newrepublic.com/article/1755...

Right wing violence is the dominant form of politically motivated violence in the US. It's only going to get worse, for the reasons I highlight in this article. newrepublic.com/article/1752...

After last night's debate performance, let's talk about just how bad it would be to bomb or invade Mexico. newrepublic.com/article/1751...

The GOP isn't hiding how it plans to "eradicate transgenderism". If everything related to trans people is considered pornographic legally (including being trans in public), that's game, set, and match https://www.damemagazine.com/2023/08/14/the-gop-has-a-master-plan-to-criminalize-being-trans/

A while back I asserted that the polling data coming out now makes Trump the for-runner for the WH. It's not too early to be worried, and here's my reasoning why. https://newrepublic.com/article/174929/15-reasons-trump-favored-biden-2024?utm_campaign=SF_TNR&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social

My latest over at The New Republic. In may ways, Israel is a proxy for the US, and its about to plunge into competitive authoritarianism. The GOP is likely watching closely as to how it turns out. https://newrepublic.com/article/174660/trump-watching-netanyahu-closely

I tried Twitter's main competitors. Which, if any, is ready to dethrone the king of microblogging sites? https://brynntannehilll.substack.com/p/i-tested-twitters-competitors-for?sd=pf

The Supreme Court's decisions in Graff and 303 Creative will be disastrous. Talking with my sources, some places in the Midwest and south are already refusing service... at restaurants. https://newrepublic.com/article/174135/supreme-court-religious-freedom-resegregation

I mapped out the functionality of Twitter and five of its competitors.
