"the extremely strong desire is to just punish universities [..] It’s not based on any kind of coherent policy agenda. It’s just a desire to inflict pain." This, is critical to understand. Pointing out "it's hurting us" won't do, since it's the whole point. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Conservatives don't give a shit about the Constitution because they abhor freedom and democracy. They prefer authoritarian forms of government such as monarchy, dictatorships and fascist oligarchy. Not one conservative in history has ever been a patriotic American. #TruthJedi

As a historian, I never understood the Holocaust until I witnessed Trump supporters. Once you see it, the connection, you can't unsee it. I made this meme Brown for the German version, perhaps we should make a black one for the Italian version? Trumpers won't understand that, they aren't educated!

Yes. Couldn't agree more. Fascism is an ideology that has to be uprooted and burned. It cannot be reasoned with. It does not believe in bipartisanship or incrementalism. And yes, it is, as our elders and ancestors knew 80 years ago, an existential threat to all of humankind.

There is a coup of our government playing out in real time by Trump, Musk and the regime. Only the judicial branch is slowing them - that is not okay, or enough! We need to all be awake and engaged. We need new Senate leadership!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
