This is how you do it. The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact". The moral imperative may be to fight... but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone: www.gazettenet.com/UMass-Amhers...

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The alarm has not just started ringing, it’s blaring.

Good on SMAC for standing up to bullies and protecting one the last bastions of democracy, Public Access TV

… truth

As someone who is responsible for communication to 350 Councils on Aging, this shift will make it harder for older adults, care givers and outreach workers to help with SSA.

On April 18, houses of worship across the country – and anyone with a bell – will ring their bells in solidarity with Boston’s Old North Church to celebrate the ongoing struggle against tyranny. Ask your church to join the chorus of bells for freedom! letfreedomring.live

No, #BrokenPost, you don't write this headline as a question, answering it below. You lead with the truth. This isn't hard. A rewrite: Vitamin A cannot treat measles but children are overdosing on RFK Jr's anti-vaccination lie.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Tariffs will be lifted on penguins who surrender their eggs to the US market. by Howard Lutnick

Well then, no alumni donations - incredibly disappointed ☹️

“Unlike higher order primates in North America who’d stayed home instead of voting, the penguins instantly recognized the threat a faraway demagogue posed to the health & welfare of their beloved island & flocked to the streets, organizing a delegation to parliament & loudly honking in opposition.”

Yes, we may suffer some short term pain, but we cannot let the penguins win.

This is a March 2020 moment and the virus is named Donald Trump

The decades-old HIPAA federal law protecting the privacy of patients' health information is threatened by multiple lawsuits that seek to throw out a rule restricting disclosure in criminal investigations, including for those seeking legal abortion and other reproductive health care.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

The administration is trying to destroy free speech and freedom of the press. The White House Correspondents Association does not want to offend them while they're doing it. Sad days when journalists are the ones greasing the slippery slope to fascism.

If you have used 23AndMe, you are advised by California’s AG to delete your DNA right now from the company’s database as it has declared bankruptcy

Elbows up, Canada.

The harbingers of Spring on #CapeCod the Osprey are back!

Project 2025’s Education Department dismantling plan calls for moving oversight and implementation of funding for students with disabilities to HHS. Trump is using Project 2025 like a checklist.

Always a welcome sign of #spring on #capecod

And more economic impacts, especially to #CapeCod towns relying on local meal and lodging taxes and of course short term rentals, which are slated to already tight wastewater budgets. Towns will need Prop 2 1/2 overrides to fund services.

More direct impacts to #CapeCod

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

My senators are @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov. They generally do the right thing. Tagging them so that someone in their offices see this as another call to vote NO on cloture until Trump agrees to shut down the illegal DOGE operation.

The foundation of democracy is not voting, essential as it is, it is an informed citizenry. That is why one of the paramount jobs of autocrats is to attack education, free thought, ideas, speech, knowledge & facts themselves. And that is just what Trump, Musk and MAGA are doing. Everywhere you look.

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

With cuts happening at NOAA/NWS, I wanted to share some thoughts on what NWS data means for everyone and what may be impacted by these changes -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=u58Q...

No protection they get to fire without cause - another way this administration makes flying unsafe

Shadow Surgeon General @vinguptamd.bsky.social giving you the advice you need

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

“The federal tax collector employs roughly 90,000 workers total across the United States, according to the latest IRS data. People of color make up 56% of the IRS workforce, and women represent 65%.”

Outstanding interview and technique- and boy, these folks are in for a world of hurt their ignorance has wrought.

Who’s looking forward to swimming on Cape Cod this summer?! We have water quality challenges already- that low tide smell will be rancid and permanent.

The international community needs to see resistance to this clown show - it is YOUR circus, and these are YOUR monkeys!

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

I miss DEI

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
