Linda McMahon's evasive response about defunding schools that teach African American studies highlights the chilling reality of Trump's anti-DEI crusade in education youtube.com/shorts/Vvs4S...

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Your Daily Affirmation: It ain't over. It ain't over. It ain't over. While every note of hope buoys my spirit, and every revelation of truth heartens my resolve, I rise up, aware that it ain't over, and nothing worthwhile is achieved without perseverance. RESIST FASCISM

The ILLEGAL freeze of USAID funds shut down: • malaria treatment for children under 5 • a device to prevent H.I.V. infection • a method to treat cervical cancer • support for pregnant women to reduce malnutrition • tuberculosis treatment for children

Mr Rogers always said, to find hope in despair, look for the helpers. But I think it's important to do more than just look for them. Ask them how you can help. Learn from them. Support them. Become one. Going to be a lot of grassroots community building. Look to them for the blueprints of help.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

If it feels like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to destroy our country from within, that’s because it is exactly what they are fucking doing.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In another executive order signed this week, Donald Trump has decided that teachers should be investigated if they use students’ chosen names instead of what is listed on their birth certificates — even if parents approve of the chosen name.

Government pages are disappearing from the internet. It’s horrible, and people should post about every page they see gone. Here is my in-depth report on OPM’s anti-trans purge, a 5p deadline for removing so-called “gender ideology” — and even the word “gender” — from gov’t sites.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

BREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... And, do not miss in "d" and "e" below, it even tries to put in the beginnings of a personhood argument, for some reason.

I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

everything is bad

If I was a cat none of this would be happening and I could just bite people and nobody would blame me
