On tonight's episode of I'm fuckin pissed off 😡💥

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Interesting to be in South Africa while Trump tells lies and inverts history.

why do these exclusionary, male only clubs, such as the all male hierarchy to God, have so many costumes? And the conclave costume and handmaid tale costume, lol.

Gotta love the media saying Donold’s first 100 days are raising “serious doubts.” Stop pretending you weren’t there for his last 1461 days.

Yikes.

Say. This.

The capitalist economic order rests on a shared and institutionalized "belief" in the money-form. The political order rests on a shared and institutionalized "belief" in the rule of law. This should be visible to folks far beyond sociologists at this point. #SociologySky #Hegemony

Adding this book to my list. #BookSky

I am no longer tolerating public entities that use X (and only x). It's privately held, the politics of the that company are despicable. I should not have to support Musk's platform to get information. We need to push for public entities to given other options, such as #BlueSky.

A threat to college campuses and society across the board.

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Historians: How do we recover the histories of women currently known as "Mrs" followed by a man's name? I cannot believe women are entirely erased. What tools are available to recover history? We are so much more than appendages. #HistorySky #SociologySky #WomenSky #Historians

Join us at Chicago’s only Pebble Beach for Earth Day!

I just saw a post about the the conspicuous absence of cops out for today’s march in NYC. I observed the same in Chicago. What’s up? The optics point to racialized policing. #HandsOff

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump’s out here swinging golf clubs while folks are in the streets fighting back. Voter suppression, wild tariffs, & straight-up disrespect for democracy—Folks are fed up, Trump & Elon. #HandsOff

April 5th, follow the link, see where people are gathering near you! Come together, see each other and let's keep building community, solidarity, and the world we dream.

I’ll never get over how softly media carried the insane bailouts WE paid to farmers to cover the catastrophe of his first term tariffs. It didn’t get emphasized in debates or in response to his campaign tariff threat.HE TRIED THIS ALREADY. We paid. Remember? From 2020. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

The "centrist" electeds and pundits in the Dem party said that the "strategy" was to lay down and wait for Tr*mp to become unpopular. I want everyone to STOP LISTENING to these people because they are ALWAYS wrong. ALWAYS. There are never any consequences for their bullshit.

FInd the explicitly stated "proTrump" businesses in your area. They have applied to be sited on this page. The actively want to be known as Trumpys. Look before you shop. www.publicsquare.com/marketplace

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Speaking of the U.S. disctator, Tom Nichols stated that the world is "So used to ignoring him like a crazy Grampa in the attic," that his threats to invade an ally are not taken seriously. h/t HCR. :) Also, Congrats Wisconsin. Floridians you got a "fine" mess. Now coffee for me:)

What will your sign say on April 5th? I’m looking for ideas! #April5 #StopTheTakeover
