👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV."

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

I’m kinda blown away by all these TikToks of people showing up to Republican reps’ town halls & letting them have it over Musk/Trump/DOGE. It seems grassroots. If it becomes a lasting trend to go to town halls, shout down people who are lying to you, and post it online, we might all survive this.

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

We did not end up in this situation with Trump the wannabe dictator out of nowhere, or because of his pathology. Noam Chomsky was right when he said the GOP was the most dangerous organization in the world in 2017. Great that Liz Cheney has been standing up to Trump, but her colleagues and mentors..

Trump’s DOJ just announced plans to investigate journalists reporting on government misconduct. When the press becomes the enemy, democracy is already on life support. @jimacosta.bsky.social

National archives aren't just official documents. The notes politicians don't want you to see are in there, and since they're paid by tax dollars, we're allowed to look through those notes. The National Archivist is the safeguard against rewriting history. Firing the Archivist is frightening.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Many of these people don't realize that sending a bunch of ridiculously qualified and educated federal workers into the private sector is just going to put their own jobs at risk. The competition will heat up, and there will be no one to run the social programs you and your community need.

If anyone knows of a good tenancy lawyer in SF, please let me know. My colleague is a Stanford researcher and disabled. He want to bypass the Rent Board and is ready to take legal action. (And he's a great guy who does not need this grief, esp given the expense of this apartment in Mission Rock.)

Google is already showing "Gulf of America" in parens. Maybe it's time to use another search engine. Honestly, if this were the late 1930s, we know exactly how these corporations would be behaving. They'd be kowtowing to their dictator.
