YES!! Do not capitulate!! Fight back against tyranny and authoritarianism!

Good for Harvard for taking a stand and not capitulating to Trump's illegal attempt to wrestle control of a University through coercion and threats.

🥺

Straight out of the fascist playbook. Erase evidence that refutes your worldview and evil schemes.

Thanks @generalstrikeus.bsky.social for including us in this starter pack! We've been doing this work for 30 years and are eager to pass on what we've experienced. For example—try this analysis of how the last two successful general strikes in the US were organized: crimethinc.com/TwoGeneralSt...

BREAKING BAD NEWS: Trump is proposing eliminating Head Start: This is an abhorrent attack on children & families, ripping opportunities from our country’s youngest, damaging businesses & hurting our economy. Congress must hold the line & protect Head Start. #MomSky www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

This executive order on elections is an overreach by the White House, and it threatens to undermine Colorado’s well-established gold standard for free and fair elections. That’s why we are challenging this illegal action and protecting our freedom to vote. www.koaa.com/news/coverin...

Sounds like a governor to me. @philweiser.bsky.social is fired up.

AG @philweiser.bsky.social is urging SCOTUS to reject the creation of the nation’s first taxpayer-funded religious charter school. The case centers on an Oklahoma charter school that would use public dollars to teach religious doctrine, a move that violates the First Amendment. bit.ly/43E3XSz

Alright everyone, enough of this "Boycott for 1 Day" nonsense. If we want a meaningful impact, we'll need to commit and make some sacrifices, just like what the Civil Rights protestors did during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We boycott until our DEMANDS are met, not after an arbitrary amount of time.

Independent spaces of creating knowledge and understanding are as dangerous to a totalitarian would-be than the formal division of power of legislative, executive and the courts. It is no coincidence that all non-democrats will try to subdue academia as they do with journalism and NGO-s.

Love it, Sheri! Thank you

Great piece by Kristin Connelly on how the SAVE Act undermines our elections by making it harder to vote. Check it out here: www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/04/05/o...

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

This action is ending the US's superiority in cancer and Alzheimer's and AI research, just as surely as ending grants. Public funding for research is important in great part b/c it has made the US a magnet for global talent. Now no student is going to want to come here to be treated like this. 🧪

So dark. And unfortunately true. I have a really hard time understanding how Trump and his "swamp" of imbeciles can be this cruel.

Two DEMS elected in 2018 were primaried out in 2024. They both lost their primary elections to AIPAC funded candidates. They were two of the most PROGRESSIVE DEMS. CORI BUSH & JAMAAL BOWMAN AOC and the rest are ALSO targeted every election.. by AIPAC GET IT?? AIPAC IS KILLING US. Literally.

This is a huge deal! Funding for science, treatments, and cures is being cut off and as it says below, burned to the ground. I am so disgusted with what is happening on so many levels, but it's beyond low to cut funding to find cures for Alzheimer's, cancer, and so many other human health threats.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

History 😶

So, because the South Sudanese *transitional* government isn't functional, Rubio is going to take that out on a bunch of people who have no culpability in that state of affairs, by booting them out of the US and sending them *back* to said dysfunctional government?

Pretty relatable.

😡🤬 Bayer/Monsanto and RoundUp are the reason I can't eat wheat, soy, garlic, and a number of other foods. My system rejects them as poison so I am forced to buy organic, grow my own, or find alternatives. Not out of choice but out of necessity.

This right here. I am an introvert myself and I've attended two protests and the Bernie/AOC rally. AND I've actually been talking to people. That is how important this moment in our nation's history is. None of us can afford to be silent right now, not even introverts!

100% yes. 👇

Boooo!!! Stop 🛑 unauthorized access to our personal data, NOW!!

No notes needed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OMG, I love this woman! 😍 😂😂😂 Can I stab it, too? Might be cathartic.

Veterans, federal workers (not named out of fear of retaliation), organizers and activists, costume lovers—thousands and thousands were out in San Francisco for the #HandsOff protest. "We swear an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." WATCH:

Science saves lives. #HandsOff the NIH. #HandsOff the FDA. #HandsOff the CDC. #HandsOff our futures.

🤔 nope, hard as I try, I can't imagine being hated so much or being so freaking delusional.

Love it!! Do not comply. Plus why should they? They're taking away public school funding anyway? Good on NY public schools for standing up for what is right!!
