NOBODY ELECTED ELON.

For my fellow Business majors out there. Businesses thrive on stability and predictability and market innovations. 📈 Chaos and uncertainty is bad for business. 📉 But also Business majors are known to skip ethics for profit. Hopefully you learned gov’t is a service, not for profit. 🙄

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

It wasn't DEI, it was DOGE.

Trump's handling of this situation should be treated as one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. There is blood on his hands.

Gavin Newsom just completely ruined Trump's big day. This, and more, in today's daily bulletin 👇

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Updated DEI list of companies committed to DEI Costco, Meijer,Kroger,Giant Grocery,Ben & Jerry’s,Ulta,Macy’s, Old Navy,Nordstrom’s,TJ Maxx,GoTo Foods (includes Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon, and more…),Dollar Tree, Walgreens, Wegmans (for those on the east coast)

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Andy Ogles just introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump a third term. I think someone will have some thoughts about that.

As a parent of an autistic child, yeah, they mess up a LOT. They say and do awkward, hurtful, and rude things all the time. But you know what? They feel EXTREME remorse at learning they’ve hurt someone by their actions. Elon’s reaction says everything about his intention not his ability.

Donald Trump is trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to distract you from the fact that he can’t lower egg prices, pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, and rolled back policies that reduced prescription drug costs. Don’t let him.

These insurrectionists are free and gleeful about buying guns. We’ve already seen how these people try to make their own justice right here in Tempe.

Chatting with a colleague, we were reminded that turnout was only ~63%. Less than half of those voted for Trump. That is NOT a majority and there is no mandate! Continue building coalitions with those harmed by an oligarchy and hit them where it hurts: their bottom line.

And I still hear Dems insist it’s not about the messaging. While trying to have wonkish policy conversation to win elections. 🙄

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

I hate being in the timeline where everyone watches us be played for fools.

What if we built a nationwide coalition of progressive businesses to support pro-democracy initiatives? Fight capitalism with a conscience. Where are we all shopping now because it’s HARD to keep up when you’re a busy working mom!

Oops! Trump Took Credit for TikTok Ban Effort in 2023 Trump claimed he was "right" about banning the popular social media platform

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
