New email from Columbia Public Safety: The campus is locking back down. Only a pair of gates will be open to university ID holders & registered alumni/guests.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

Power to the People!! Thank you Bernie! www.dailymotion.com/video/x9fs8n6

"We don't take an oath to a king."

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 🔥 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Nothing will ever trickle down.

Hello friends. I'm launching a weekly newsletter for @thenation.com. Check out my first installment, where I have, among other things, *all the smoke* for Elissa's Slotkin's pathetic, Republican-coded nonsense. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“People should be pissed off.” Newly-elected Democratic National Committee Vice Chair @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social lays out why Americans should be outraged at Trump’s policies and how to move forward together.

WATCH: “$100 Million or more at stake for Metro Schools funding. I honestly don’t know how we’re gonna grapple with it.” NASHVILLE mayor @freddiefornashville Oconnell on what happens to their schools if Trump and his pro-privatization cabal dissolve the Department of Education. (From WSMV)

Bernie out there working.

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Oh to be a cloud, floating high Lit by the sun, in a crisp winter sky Rose colored warmth, amidst blustery cold Soft spacious presence, gentle yet bold.

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

to Rep. Morgan Griffith: You are not in any way shape or form representing or serving the people in your district as you clap, stand and support the Trump/Musk regime. What have you been promised for your loyalty to the oligarchs/wanna be dictators? What flag are you pledging allegiance to?

I come from folks who experienced the traumas of laboring in the mining and railroad industry in the late 1800's and early 1900's. "Which side are you on?" was written in 1931 by activist Florence Reece, wife of a union organizer for the United Mine Workers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRWZ...

woods walk video for today. sitting by the creek has always been healing for me. if you are inclined feel free to comment with what you notice within yourself. for me, I'd say "opening, livening."

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Just saying.

Woods walk photo -- if you are inclined, share a word about what comes up for you, what you notice as you "sense into it."

Great piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social comparing the burgeoning anti-Tesla/Musk movement with the anti-apartheid movement of the 70s/80s. And not just because of Musk's South African roots. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
