BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology." This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The 1st president of the U.S. to ever have an unelected bureaucrat in the Oval Office after that guy bankrolled his campaign with $250M just congratulated himself for draining the swamp and announced, "The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over." You can't make this up.

Adding on, but the push against arts in education is a large component. Not bc it’s “useless”, bc it teaches you to create. OTOH, you’d think the STEM push encourages critical thinking, but the way we approach it actually highly discourages it, bc there’s no integration of the sociopolitical

"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair. No place for self-pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal." — Toni Morrison 🌱📷

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls. Keep up the fight.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Send a message to giant companies ripping us off. On Feb. 28, don't shop online, in big box stores, no Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy, fast food nor gas. Just one day will send a powerful message. Think they'll miss our DEI dollars? Don't spend. Then, let them know why.

The Chiefs did so much better before they kowtowed to Trump. Speaking of government waste, it costs taxpayers $18M+ for Trump to attend the Super Bowl. Someone compared it to Hitler at the 1936 Olympics. I guess that makes Kendrick Lamar Jesse Owens. #MUSTAAARD

I'm not following this Super Bowl (nor most others before it), but I am surprised to learn its broadcast includes an ad with a call-to-action message about #ClimateChange. Considering its sizable audience, I'll include it in my #ENVSCOMM25 class tomorrow so we can watch & assess its effectiveness. 🧪
