I’m not participating in April Fool’s Day because we’ve already hit the federal limit on foolishness for the year. Any more and the economy might collapse.

From what I’ve heard, the #USDepartmentofState used to be a reliable presence at career fairs but they cancelled on UMass Lowell today. Federal orgs have been largely missing from career fairs since late January. This is what widespread #layoffs and #hiringfreezes do on a grassroots level.

First, the #DepartmentofState didn’t make my university’s career fair. Now they’re not allowing our school’s visit to the UAE Embassy while we’re at the National Model Arab League Conference. I wish Harris had won.

Sorry for going missing! I’ve been taking a mental health break.

When people ask ā€œwhere were you when Trump and Musk’s attack on democracy beganā€, I’ll be able to say ā€œoutside in the freezing cold saying this is not my Americaā€. #50501movement

They make me feel the same way #executiveorders #whitehouse

I’m scared, but I’m channeling it into action.

Imagine if there were something that could prevent diseases like #measles, #tuberculosis, and #polio. What an incredible advance in science that would be!

Did you know that you can participate in town halls from your US Representative? I didn’t. We sit here saying there’s nothing we can do, but I am learning about new ways to get involved every day. #nhpolitics goodlander.house.gov/media/press-...

Being grateful for #MitchMcConnell was not on my 2025 bingo card. #RFKConfirmation

Disempowering the educated sounds like a great way to hold onto power and oppress your people. #education #democracy

This is what we women are up against. They all offer different solutions for the same nonexistent problem. Know it so you can fight against it. #feminism #womensrights #uspolitics #reproductiverights

Me, at age 17 in my high school cafeteria: ā€œThe good thing about Trump is that he can’t be boughtā€. Me, at age 22 in my college dining hall: ā€œElon Musk bought the presidency and Trump is just a puppetā€ We live, we learn. What I don’t get is how so many people AREN’T learning.

Creating a task force for religious liberty but focusing on the persecution of the majority religion. That was a choice.

The man in #NHpolitics who doesn’t want our kids to be educated. Don’t be afraid to contact him.

Meanwhile in #NewHampshire and #NHPolitics legiscan.com/NH/text/HB28... gc.nh.gov/house/commit...

I got out there at the #NewHampshire #50501protest today!

Be sure to check in about your local 50501 protest today!

How is everyone doing today? I’m emotionally fine, yet there’s a pain in my chest worse than I’ve felt in a long time.

Chipping away at freedom of press.

The increased ā€œautism rateā€ isn’t an increased rate. The level of severity needed for a diagnosis has decreased over time. Every second year psych student knows this, but RFK, who’s being considered for Secretary of Health blames it on life-saving vaccines. #RFK #vaccines #autism

Realist theory says that all states act primarily in their own self interest. Idealist theory says that a country’s foreign policy should be guided by values and human rights first. Both are self fulfilling prophecies, but only one leads to less suffering.
