@profgalloway.com’s #CupOfJoe is so deliciously on point. Even Piers is silenced. Pay attention.

So we’re taking resources away from fighting actual crime, in order to inflict maximum cruelty on moms and high school honor students. Are we great yet? In our Nuremberg, Stephen Miller needs to be first up with his “poisoning the blood” hate. He is a disgrace to his Jewish ancestors.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

Open fascism from the local chair of one of the major political parties in a county of 2.1 million people, 15th largest in the US: "Let's purge the alien other and purify the nation of their race"

The U.S. government is breaking up families without an ounce of compassion. ICE is detaining migrants at court—asking judges to dismiss cases so they can arrest people as they leave & shove them into fast-track deportation. Word’s out: Show up, risk deportation. Stay home, lose your case.

Today, under Trump’s immigration policies, there would be no Google, Tesla, NVidia, PayPal, Apple, Ebay, Yahoo, or Amazon. In fact, 230 Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children contributing to $8.6 TRILLION to our economy in 2023. Just the facts. #USDemocracy

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

I love Jasmine Crockett. She always says exactly what the rest of us are thinking #USDemocracy

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

1/7 Trump & House Republicans passed a bill so brutal they delayed the worst until after the 2026 midterms. Why? Because they know if voters feel the pain before November, they’ll lose. So they rigged the timeline & plan to lie nonstop till then. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

What an absolute garbage human. She is openly MOCKING her constituents. Iowa, does she really represent you? You know what to do! 🗳️👎

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

As an autism mom this makes me FURIOUS! 😡🤬 School officials are not making any attempt to understand kids’ needs. Responding to behavioral meltdowns with ARRESTS of kids as young as 9. The school needs to be shut down. 1/

FYI- this means we effectively can no longer bring the *majority* of STEM grad students and postdocs into the USA. You couldn’t try to destroy science in this country any more if you tried. 🧪🔭🎢 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

Remembering the fallen. Those who bravely fought so have what we have. Let's protect it #MemorialDay youtu.be/Omd9_FJnerY?...

Make this make sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

I did a 1 year fellowship at Harvard University. I'm an immigrant. My faculty advisor at Harvard was Dr. Ali Asani. He's an immigrant. Trump's move to ban Harvard from accepting foreign students is yet another example that it was never about merit—it was always about protecting white mediocrity.

W.E.B. Du Bois, Harvard’s best grad, said that it took him 90 years to become conscious of himself as a member of the working class. May we get there more quickly. Academics everywhere: join a union or build a union, and if you can’t do either, then organize your coworkers and act like a union.

I hope Harvard keeps fighting Trump and MAGA. A lot of the elites in the Republican Party have gone to Harvard, have kids in Harvard, and are gonna be a bit stuck if MAGA turns on the university. Also, learn from the mistakes of Columbia.

We don’t want the first fruits of other countries’ brain drains, which give us our global R&D advantage. And let’s call Harvard a CCP operative for good measure. We’re one step removed from designating the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center terrorist organizations. apple.news/A9abylu9eQUm...

This is not related to the Harvard action.

The "party of the working class," everyone.

This is what happens when you embolden bigots. Despicable.

I have been teaching about authoritarian cults since 1976. Freedom of Mind Resource Center needs more support so we can do so much more!

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

UnitedHealth paid nursing homes bonuses for not getting residents the care they needed. People's health destroyed or lives ended early . . . for increased profit. How disgusting. We must end for-profit healthcare insurance. It doesn't make sense.
