Remember those stories that tried to downplay RFK Jr’s deadly campaign against vaccines by saying that the Trump administration would make everybody healthy through access to fresh unprocessed food? How does canceling a billion dollars worth of local food for school and food banks fit with that?

This is a very good point. Do our university presidents have the courage to do this? Faculty should push them. The time is getting short. Musk and Trump if not stopped will kill American academia. Just look at what Republicans did to New College in Florida.

👇🎯 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.

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history. We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.

This is flatly illegal. The plain text of the law says that any person who works for any 501(c)(3) nonprofit is eligible. There is ZERO authority for limiting eligibility based on the work such nonprofit does. They WILL lose the lawsuit. Even so, this is making so many people’s lives harder.

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program helps people like teachers & firefighters get promised student debt relief for a decade of public service. Trump wants to rob them of debt relief they're owed by law while he demands trillions in tax cuts for billionaires like himself.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death. People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable. EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

We're seeing reports about a planned CDC study investigating links between vaccines and autism. 😞 We do not believe this is a CDC-driven effort. Like other agencies, our budgets are held hostage by DOGE. Since RFK Jr’s confirmation we have only learned of his plans for CDC through the media.
