Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

He is on a warpath against USAID, and the cruelty it will unleash is going to be immense. USAID provides emergency aid after natural disasters, tries to improve child health and nutrition, promotes good governance, funds literacy programs and programs that empower women, works on food security, etc.

open.substack.com/pub/insideme... So they’re erasing whole groups of people from governmental history and consideration. Y’all see what’s happening, right?

⚡️Ukraine won't trade young soldiers' lives for better weapons, Zelensky says. "The priority should be providing missiles and lowering Russia's military potential, not Ukraine's draft age. The goal should be to preserve as many lives as possible, not to preserve weapons in storage."

Once you have done everything and own everything money can buy, the only thing left to buy is power. Tax the f*ck out of billionaires and end citizens united.

It started with the world's richest man dropping $44B to turn a microblogging site into the world's biggest right-wing radicalization chamber. Phase 2: he drops $250M to install his candidate in the nation's highest office. Our campaign laws are utterly broken in the face of the billionaire class.

Glad I decided to give Rachel Maddow a watch tonight. I really have been avoiding every bit of news and commentary. Perspective is important.

They do not care about the rule of law, but that will not ever stop them from this partisan theatre. And no juxtaposition of this against any other clip will make it less effective for them.

I am thankful for the smiles of neighbors & friends, stocked pantry and fridge. $3 gas & ability to binge. Connectivity, accessibility & comfortability. Democracy while she lasted. That last little hope. And these last 53 days. #Thanksgiving2024

We need to make clear to the American people that Elon is not an expert on everything. Furthermore, having more money than god doesn’t make you an expert at anything.

Look I know we’re supposed to be high-minded and forward-looking and all but do you ever think this last election came down to Democrats saying, “Look, the voters aren’t stupid,” and Republicans saying, “Wanna bet?”

Two days after my best friends & 47 others were murdered at Pulse Nightclub, Pam Bondi tried to paint herself as a friend to the community. She thought we forgot that, just TWO years earlier, she was arguing that allowing us to get married would cause “significant public harm.” She was wrong.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

NEW: Private schools across the South that were established for white children during desegregation are now benefiting from tens of millions in taxpayer dollars flowing from rapidly expanding voucher-style programs, a @propublica analysis found. www.propublica.org/article/segr...
