More top universities around the world offering *free* online classes. Never before has education been so under attack. Never before has the need for critical thinking been so urgent. Just in time for summer vacay -- school!! www.classcentral.com/universities

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."

Yessssss!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

The biggest issues will be (1) arresting (or worse) innocent ppl of crimes they never committed and (2) instigating trouble to create unsafe situations just to accuse others of wrongdoing. We are not safe.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Listen to Black women… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity” “The threats & harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution & the rule of law” - KBJ

One odd thing abt NYT story on deal with Bukele (aside from the very credulous view it gives of Stephen Miller plan, which is par for the course) is they make zero mention of significance of this, which is likely reason Bondi reversed press protections. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.
