Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

THANK YOU. Like I’m carrying around a sextant in my cloak pocket

“The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality… However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Look who’s joined Bluesky!

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

Adorable. The Boston ducks have protest signs #handsoff

One of my fellow members of the @arlingtondems.bsky.social contingent at today’s #HandsOff protest in DC 🎯

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Such an inspiring day at the DC #HandsOff protest

Suffragette-core at the DC #HandsOff

So many good signs today, it’s impossible to pick just one, oh wait #HandsOff

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

“Inside and outside the White House, advisers say … Trump is unperturbed by negative headlines or criticism from foreign leaders. He is determined to listen to a single voice — his own — to secure what he views as his political legacy.” wapo.st/41ZBJk0 gift article

Monday we will hear about all the big strong men who are walking up to Trump right now with tears in their eyes calling him Sir thanking him for tariffs.

Oh, OF COURSE he is

Omg

This pretty much sums it up.

Wondering how all the country-club, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley I-don’t-care-that-he’s-an-insane-criminal-convict-because-he’s-gonna-cut-capital-gains-tax-rates MAGA types are feeling this morning

Yesterday, Trump unleashed economic chaos on the world. Today, and for the rest of the week, he's in Florida hosting a Saudi owned golf tournament.

Trump campaigned on his unhinged plan to impose tariffs on the entire world and Corporate America could have made it clear that this would have devastating consequences for consumers and the economy but instead they just assumed that Trump would not follow through and supported Trump

I encourage everyone to follow @heardislandgov.bsky.social so you can get the latest news on how the penguins are reacting to Trump’s tariffs

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

Donald Trump is a lot of things. But the thing he will always be most is just plain fucking dumb.

Absolutely brilliant

If you’re still in line to dunk on Elon Musk STAY IN LINE. If you dunk on him tonight, he has to cry himself to sleep.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Cory Booker breaks the record Crawford wins Weil and Valimont slash the margin Elon Musk is poison. Good day for democracy.

Bahahaha

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

I know folks are disappointed about Josh Weil losing this special House election in Florida, but let the big picture give you optimism: Republicans won this seat by +33 points just five months ago. We're likely looking at a +20 point swing in support toward Democrats. This is enormous. This is GOOD.

I am grateful to have witnessed this. He did it, and he did it beautifully. Thank you, Senator Booker.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

If you like what Sen. Cory Booker is doing right now, call his office and thank him. (202) 224-3224 www.npr.org/2025/04/01/n...
