I’ve had two miscarriages: one while living in NC, one in IN. I would have been arrested given my circumstances.

Massively good news: The provision that would have let the trump administration strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit organization they wanted simply by declaring them to be a "terrorist supporting organization" has been removed from the budget bill. Pushing back against these people works.

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

Shoutout to the pundits who insisted Trump wouldn’t actually jail his political opponents, when less than six months in he’s now arrested a sitting judge, the mayor of New Jersey’s largest city, and a member of Congress.

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

I want to remind you that yesterday, Trump's Secretary of Transportation went on Fox to say he can't get in touch with Trump's Pentagon to prevent plane crashes.

Ever wonder about how much power philanthropic foundations have? Check out my new integrative literature written with Dr. Laurie Paarlberg and Imoleayo Adeyeri on just that. There is hope in modern philanthropy! #NVSQ #nonprofitsky doi.org/10.1177/0899...

It's always a pleasure to work with my friend and colleague @laurendula.bsky.social - so when @candiddotorg.bsky.social invited us to write about how impulse giving at the checkout - aka checkout charity - can help support #nonprofits we jumped at the idea! blog.candid.org/post/what-is...

Not sure they can do this—Congress grants tax emotion through law. They decide the terms. The IRS just enforces and manages applications and fiscal paperwork. Just seems like something they can just do without grounds.

Cody Balmer told cops he planned to beat Ben Shapiro with a hammer. Same weapon used on Paul Pelosi—remember how Trump and MAGA crowds laughed at that? Now Trump’s “monitoring” Balmer’s case,possibly weighing a pardon. Violence isn’t a glitch in MAGA—it’s the core feature. #TrumpWatch #MAGAterrorism

Trying to enjoy getting my tenure and promotion letter while reading the news is impossible. This country is now authoritarian. Firing squads, self dealing, disappearing people considered a threat, taking away women’s rights, attacking critics, pushing the legal system. It’s NOW. We need help.

"Loyalty" is a dangerous concept, and Trump is firing those disloyal to him already. We need to make the sycophants sycophantier.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

30 years ago a professor explained tariffs to me as “economic sanctions a country puts on itself” and that stuck with me.

One-off protests don’t win anything. MLK Jr on general protesting: “The mistake I made [in Albany, GA] was to protest against segregation generally rather than against a single facet of it. Our protest was so vague that we got nothing…”

Every time I went to @booker.senate.gov ‘s speech, he was passionate in sharing a better vision for our country than what is happening now. No reading “The Cat in the Hat.” No filler. That takes talent and I honor his work these past 25 hours.

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

I love this, but now we need people swarming town halls and flooding phone lines of our reps.

I love these protests being planned, but protest without action items or demands is one-off self-serving activity, not a movement. Let’s do some real organizing at these protests. Gather info, call for donations to special elections, tell people to go to town halls? We need actions!!
