Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Thinking about how we approach death is just as important as how we choose to live as if we aren't going to die. Dr. Lin's story hits home with me as a current cancer survivor and as one with Asian family who are non-smokers diagnosed with lunch cancer www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

This administration is killing people with their policies and leading to such despair that others are seeing no hope. And they do not care.

A testament to the openness to interpretation of art, esp in the comments. Does Trump think he is part of the people's revolution that took back the White House and toppled the aristocrats or is it the leader naming himself King leading a coup that needs the ppl to rise up? youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

We are absolutely a nation in distress. A coup is unfolding in real time, unleashing fascist authoritarianism. I wish I were being hyperbolic, but anyone following news in the US and the freezes and firing and politicization of the military can see what is happening.

For anyone working in Higher Ed concerned about the anti-DEI Dear Colleague letter calling on colleges to rid themselves of DEI programs, please read this letter by law professors who KNOW THE LAW--it's a good rejoinder to the letter and over-reach of this admin. cdn.ymaws.com/www.copaa.or...

I am watching "Die Hard with a Vengence" the third film in the series (and I think the best bc of Samuel L. Jackson) -- I just need a narrative of an average Joe succeeding against capitalist forces of evil. If only we could all be John McClane taking on bad white guys with foreign accents.

So you know how Project 2025 told us what to expect from a Trump 2.0 presidency? Well now you can track just how well they're doing in their fascist authoritarianism. I made 6 phone calls today--3 to my elected officials DC and CO offices. Doing nothing is not an option. www.project2025.observer

If you work in higher ed, please forward this link from Dr. Julian Vasquez Helig to your college/university leadership--we should not be giving any quarter to a threatening Dear Colleague letter that is mis-reading bad law. We should not put up with bullies. cloakinginequity.com/author/julia...

I'm working on a couple of upcoming talks and can't get over how simply describing what is happening right now with attacks on the NSF, NIH, Diversity, etc. makes me sound like a raving lunatic. They've launched an all-out assault on empirical reality.

I just received a message telling me to go back to China and calling me a dumb b****. The in-your-face racism/sexism is actually a refreshing change of pace from the dog whistles. I'm not on X anymore so if anyone sees me trending, can you let me know bc this hate message refers to a post I wrote

This seems to be the point. Chaos and destruction. I know there have been many jokes about Trump being in the pocket of Putin, but it's hard not to think about who benefits from a weakened US nation globally.

If you live in Boulder County, CO, these are your 3 representatives. Please call them--once a week. Tell them what you think about what is happening at the Federal level. Encourage them to fight back against fascism. Calling matters. And doing nothing isn't an option.

Two things to remember as things continue to happen in the US. 1) Do not comply in advance. 2) Do not retreat in fear. This is only the beginning. Stay vigilant. Swallow the fear. Fight like hell.

Sharing from a friend because doing nothing is not an option for those of us in the US who want to fight fascism. Pick something -- and one thing we can all do is email/call our congressional reps--they have to keep a record of what we say. So lets tell them. www.reddit.com/r/WitchesVsP...
