Speak up before you can’t. A Statement from Columbia Journalism School Faculty Defending Press Freedom | Columbia Journalism School journalism.columbia.edu/news/cjs-fac...

♥️♥️♥️ From the NYT: “Hundreds of people who had been streaming into the lower level plaza of Trump Tower, President Trump’s high-rise in Midtown Manhattan, took off their coats and revealed bright red T-shirts that said “Not in Our Name” on the front and “Jews Say Stop Arming Israel” on the back.”

Oh yes, I am here for this. Sham = DOGE www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

A welcome sign that the madness may abate. RFK Jr is more than enough madness at HHS. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/h...

American Idiot RFK Jr sparks alarm after backing vitamins to treat measles amid outbreak - The Guardian

All the sane people are leaving. Top HHS spokesperson quits after clashing with RFK Jr. - POLITICO

I think I could write a more pertinent lead paragraph, but here is some alarming news www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Postponing last week’s vaccine meeting endangers Americans’ health - The Hill

Russian state media briefly enters Oval Office during Zelenskyy meeting - POLITICO but not Reuters or AP.

You can register your concern about the FDA canceling the annual meeting to plan for 2026 flu vaccine by emailing [email protected]. It wouldn’t hurt to prod RFK Jr about the ongoing outbreaks of measles in Texas, TB in Kansas and the threat of bird flu to the US population.

More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship - The Guardian

Yawn 🥱 No thank you for your disservice to your country, your tepid lame duck “opposition” to appalling cabinet appointees, and your cynical enabling of the current occupant of the White House. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

These people are heroes, resigning rather than bending to Trump pressure to abandon solid cases. How low will Adams go? Will he change parties and grovel to his master? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Without the CFPB, giant financial institutions — like banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and debt collection companies — will have an easier time picking your pocket. It’s clear who Trump and Musk serve — and it’s not you.

Good to see. However ALL AGs should have been pursuing this suit. Clear violations of federal law are being made daily www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Great News! In response to our motion, the court has restricted access to the Treasury Department payment system, barring sharing of sensitive data with Elon Musk’s DOGE.

Just called the Treasury to object to them allowing foreign national Elon Musk unfettered access to our Social Security and financial information. Treasury has the longest phone tree imaginable but you can eventually reach a hotline and leave a message. 202-622-2000. Do it!!

Great tool for organizing your calls to your representatives. It is so important to object to the attempt to dismantle the government and crucial institutions. apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

Take a break from the stunts of the felon and buy/read this book. Tamara Lanier took on Harvard and demonstrates the tenacity we need for these times.

David Brooks explaining far more eloquently than I can, the American penchant for poorly informed populism. Trump draws on powerful American tropes that are anti-rational and anti-factual. how to combat this? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/o...
