Holy shit. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... He's actually doing it. Consolidating all payments under the Tsy. Not to toot my own horn too much, but this is exactly what my paper is trying to address and oppose. We need a strong digital fisc vision to counter this.

Quilting served as a quiet form of resistance. Denied the use of bright colors, enslaved women used scraps of fabric to stitch patterns into their bedding and clothing, preserving native African textile traditions. 145 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

The GOP Congressman in Michigan’s 10th district is one of many who are refusing to do town hall meetings with voters. So my friend @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I are heading there on Saturday to make sure every American has a chance to hear about the Trump and Musk’s corruption.

A Tufts graduate student was arrested in Mass. by unidentified people in black clothing and face masks, apparently without a warrant. They snatched her off the street into an unmarked car. Her name is Rumeysa Öztürk. Her "crime" is co-authoring an oped calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous. nypost.com/2025/03/16/u...

My warmest support to Jesse Forman and Ariela Dubler (neither of whom I know personally). If Jews allow this administration's disingenuous claim to be protecting us from antisemitism to be used as a pretext for abusing the rights of others, we've morally bankrupted ourselves.

Ripping a student from their home, challenging their immigration status, and detaining them solely based on political viewpoint will chill student speech and advocacy across campuses nationwide. Political speech should never be a basis of punishment or lead to deportation.
