WIRED has a great guide to protecting yourself during protest www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Ahead of No Kings Day, a couple trainings we have coming up that might be useful: Safety and Deescalation: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Know Your Rights (w/ACLU): act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social‬ Speaking of super excellent, factual, fun US history videos, you might mention in a future Substack post Joanne Freeman's AWESOME free Yale course (HIST 116) on YouTube: "The American Revolution" (25 lectures; 40-50 minutes/lecture) shorturl.at/YKBMo

Maybe I get my information from the wrong sources but I’ve yet to see a “theory of the case” justifying massive tax cuts for the top 1% other than they simply want to pay less. Will such cuts spur growth beyond the loss in revenue? Are we taking in more tax dollars than we need? Theories? Anybody?

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Imagine being a freshly graduated lawyer who passes the bar and then takes a job with DHS. Your initial assignment is to handle hearings in immigration court and your mandate is to dismiss asylum cases so the asylum seeker can then be grabbed in the hallway by ICE and put into expedited removal.

The Trump Administration clearly believes the old adage “The cover-up is worse than the crime” to be true. That’s why they do their illegal and unethical deeds out in the open, avoiding the need for any cover-up.

I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.
