Those of us of a certain age remember Schoolhouse Rock. It’s time to bring it back. It’s clear that a whole lot of people have no idea what’s happening b/c they never learned history! No more kings! youtu.be/WvOZs3g3qIo

One thing that really stands out to me about Harvard is they are making the affirmative case for higher ed. They are not just defending. I think this is the way to fight back, though there is a long way to go. We all must assert our values even as they are attacked. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

“IDEAS”

Carole Cadwalladr gives an emotional TED talk about the danger of our current tech coup.

"See you in court." The State of Maine sued the Trump administration on Monday, starting the legal fight that Gov. Janet Mills promised in an exchange with President Trump at the White House.

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

"use creative tactics, stay active for long periods of time, and retain public support by eschewing violence even when facing government repression..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

What this PBS news story screams out loud but does not mention: By living car free, the woman featured has lost 25lbs. Thus avoiding high blood pressure, heart & kidney disease. Cars make communities sicker. Let’s build for people instead.

Take Husband’s Name? No Vote For You! GOP “Save" act is an attack on women. It’s men-only voting like way back when. Birth name must match in this awful act. Money can fix the issue. That’s a poll tax.

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

FAVORITE PROTEST SIGNS…

April 5 Remove corrupt politicians from office. Reverse the damage. Reclaim US democracy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #USProtests

Being able to read this is better than a CAPTCHA at proving you’re human. 👀

Bergen? ❤️ (If you’ve been there, you’ll understand the question mark!)

Stay focused

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

~This goes for Canadians as well!

😂😂😂

#Amazon boycott starts tomorrow! For this whole week (but forever is better)

History echoes, loudly #Trump #fascism #resistance

This is insane.

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights. Schools must hold firm against the Trump administration's censorship attempts.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Not a fan of Spotify, but it’s a good list…

Astonishing speech by Danish Prime Minister. #3E #StandWithUkraine

A reminder for these times.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

I have and I will.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

uhhh kinda feels like maybe they should publish those birds flu studies? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
