YAAASSSSS

And straight into a tariff wall at that.

Massive crowds in NYC are growing and not letting up, demanding the immediate release of Columbia student being kidnapped for protesting for Palestine. "We want justice. We say how. Free Mahmoud right now!" #3E #USprotests #NYC #EndOligarchy

Among American Jews, a Schism Over ICE Arrest of Columbia Activist ... @ADL reprehensible on this. We still have a Constituton. Jews of any group should know about knocks in the middle of the night and disappearing people. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/n...

A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1.2 million signatures in 24 hours (!!) if this isn't an indicator of why we so desperately need to organize and build across movements for migrant justice, abolition, and against US militarism, I don't know what will be. actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Note this is worded in a way that suggests US citizens may be subject to it

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism

Nonpartisan CBO Analysis Proves Republicans Are Lying About Medicaid Cuts March 5, 2025 Press Release CBO Analysis Requested by Boyle and Pallone, Confirms GOP Budget Would Require Largest Cuts to Medicaid in History democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...

Don’t forget Al Green stood up alone and presented his intention to impeach Trump. This is why AIPAC backed republicans and democrats want to remove or censure him.

patriarchy extinction burst?

A lot of American politicians, media, and public treat Trump threatening long-time US allies and partners as somehow not real. Like it's a reality TV show, or "just trolling," or part of some secretly good negotiating strategy. But all his targets are taking it very seriously, and are right to.

BREAKING: Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court. DOC buff.ly/K7puA1o

My contempt and loathing for people who talk about the Trump/Musk GOP supposedly being on the side of free speech grows every day.

Amazing. Strong leadership

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

I am ashamed to be an American today. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Canada. I stand with Panama. I stand with Greenland. I stand with Europe.

GOOD MORNING SKIES OF BLUE TODAY ECONOMIC BLACKOUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE SHOP LOCAL ONLY PLEASE

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Call to action: Economic Blackout on February 28. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #Autogenocide

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution. TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.” Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

JLo & Troye Sevan are gonna headline worldpridedc.org 3M LGBTQ & allies are expected to converge on Washington DC during the several weeks of World Pride events I'm hoping other orgs like @indivisible.org @moveon.org & @marchforourlives.bsky.social will support World Pride events too

Many thousands across the country in small and large cities and towns. Fixed your headline for you @nytimes.com

While Musk is investigating agencies with his DOGE team, he is hoping you'll forget all the investigations and controversies he has accrued through the last few decades.

Hey, so remember how Lisa Murkowski posted that her office had been flooded with phone calls last week? Alaskans, now that she’s announced her support for RFK Jr., show her she ain’t seen nothing yet: ☎️ DC: 202-224-6665 1/

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

PLEASE SHARE.

RFK Jr. is a threat to our children and our country. His disinformation is snake oil and deadly. @drrobdavidson.bsky.social‬ , thank you for helping to save the future.
