Data is power — and access to it is essential for protecting public health & the environment. The Trump admin has taken extraordinary steps to dismantle and disrupt public access to federal environ data and mapping tools — resources that communities, advocates, and researchers rely on every day.

We're gonna move fast and break things. Sometimes we'll make mistakes. If we remove the wrong organ we'll put it back in. We are disrupting surgery

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Since taking office, Trump has prioritized appeasing Putin and billionaires over the American people at every turn. Tonight's address was more of the same. My full statement ⤵️

Who here agrees? 🖐🏾

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

If you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens. Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Elon Musk shared a call from conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro urging Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the 2020 killing of George Floyd.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

What the actual fuck?! America, something must be done!

Companies doing moderation: not a free speech issue People blocking you for saying mean things: not a free speech issue Fact checks: not a free speech issue This right here? THIS is an attack, by the government, on your constitutional right to protest against oppression.

November 2024: Trump will save the economy March 2025: We have returned to subsistence agriculture

And yet here we are, plunging cartoonishly downward already.

Whether in our water, on its bench, or in the White House, the Supreme Court is a big fan of raw sewage.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.
