Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

You got that right🤬‼️I might live in the Berkshires but I’m no less appalled & angry. This trial has even more attention than last. And every time it meets a new audience it stops them like WHOA‼️ The corruption is being further illustrated every day & broadcast to an international audience.

Shortly after I left Delaney Hall, I spotted this convoy escorting a painted-over van with blacked out windows holding someone in the back. The men on motorcycles had either "police" or "sheriff" written on their jackets but notably did not disclose insignia of sheriff's office or police dept.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

USAID's report on the consequences of Donald Trump and his top campaign donor shutting off humanitarian aid is a harrowing list.

Join AOC and other elected reps here on Bsky tonight. Do NOT watch Fat McFash's SOTU speech, because our nation is on fire, and we don't need more orange kerosene poured on raging flames. Be careful not to set yourself on fire watching King Destructus rant. Be here instead for joy & planning.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Attn: Target we are done!!! Black folks, do not spend a dime here. Do not spend money where you will not be hired—or where they will not carry your products. Target is spitting in your face!

Apparently Trump directly threatened Denmark on his first phone call the other day with their Prime Minister. The "conversation" has set off major alarm bells in Copenhagen and other NATO capitals. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The move to Rednote is like if Zuckerberg got campus police to shut down all the parties but his, and people still opted to like go find an alley to get bit by rats in.

The U.S. government is about to be PISSED that the RedNote (Xiaohongshu chinese tiktok) app is #1 in social networking right now on GooglePlay. When Tiktok gets banned, we aren't going to Meta platforms. Collectively, we would all rather learn Mandarin than be force-fed American propaganda.
