ARIZONA — Bernie on the Oligarchy: “From the bottom of my heart, I am convinced they can be defeated.”

It's good that we're thinking about El*n, but I'd like a longer list of Billionaires Breaking Crucial Shit (BBCS) I nominate Kelcy Warren, the CEO of Energy Transfer, which built the Dakota Access Pipeline, and maybe a pipeline near you. 1/? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelcy_W...

there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official. something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent federal agency that supports libraries, archives, and museums in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Trump just gutted the funding.

“In 2023, outdoor recreation added more than $14 billion to the Arizona GDP, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.”

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Some humans are inspiring. Tucson Tesla Protest 15 Mar 2025 #TeslaTakedown

Another excellent turnout at the Tesla Takedown in Tucson even though it's windy & chilly. #TeslaTakedown

thanks to Kelly for uplifting public libraries today!

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

Just got a money request from AOC for her and Bernie's road trip. Too soon

Are you ready to take the step to support your local library system by seeking appointment or running for a library board seat? For the People is here to help you: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Let’s stand united and wear white🤍 Immediately following the Tesla gathering, everyone is invited to Rillito Park to write postcards we will send to the White House that same day as part of a nationwide effort 📬 📷 @theninjaferret

A huge loss for us all, may he rest in peace

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Mobilize Tucson is joining forces with other concerned citizens for the largest Tesla dealership protest to date ✊🏼‼️ Date: Saturday, March 15th Time: 9:30am-11am 📍5081 N Oracle Rd Parking: Dennys, Red Lobster, or bowling alley parking lot. Correction: Do NOT park in the neighborhood.

The company that produces the Libby app is OverDrive. Their "who we are" page says they support access for all, and that "We strive to serve all members of every community with resources that provide information, education, entertainment and advancement." Rs hate that sort of thing.

Protest in support of national parks & monuments: March 15, Chiricahua National Monument

If you are in the Phoenix area, I would love to see you at the Save our Schools event. You can buy tickets here: www.sosaznetwork.org/caps/?fbclid...

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people. If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-thorough...

Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/

My latest for @truthout.org reports on librarians who are running for office and taking power. As Ilana Stonebraker says, we need to imagine ourselves as the deciders.

Sylvester Turner, former Houston mayor and Congressman for Texas’ 18th district, leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew him.  www.khou.com/article/news...

Glad to see this from Norwegian Association of Researchers (NAR), expressing full support and solidarity with our colleagues in American research and education institutions in their fight against the current administration's anti-knowledge policies. www.forskerforbundet.no/nyheter/2025...

Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff.
