So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

I just signed this petition to tell Congress to say NO to Billionaires and YES to Child Care and Head Start! action.momsrising.org/sign/Child_C...

For no good reason, except life has me exhausted.

👇🏼‼️The Graduate Center has established a set of quick-response funds (in amounts of up to $3,000) to support students who are facing short-term unexpected financial emergencies. We aim to help students complete their degrees rather than take a leave of absence or withdraw from school.

Why aren’t there protests going on right now at every college, university, medical school, public health school, law school, seminary, etc. Gen Z, we need you to be protesting now.

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

Dog whistling lunatic alert. 😳

If I could only be as dedicated to other things…

There have been some truly awful and egregious headlines on Gaza in the New York Times over the past 16 months but we may have a winner, folks. ‘Gaza Development Plan’

What to say. Must read in this Friday morning.

With the Department of Education shuttered and RFK at HHS, kids can look forward to field trips where they find their own roadkill to eat for lunch while reciting the 10 Commandments all morning

It's really appalling that things are happening -- like firing career Department of Education officials because they attended a diversity conference -- that remind me of what I've read about Mao's mid-1960s Cultural Revolution in China, a humanitarian disaster we don't talk about nearly enough

At the risk of sharing an LA Times article, excellent feature piece.

Just sayin’…

Of all the scary things, this may be the scariest…
