These are terrible times — the worst I’ve lived through, and I’ve lived through some bad ones. But in hundreds of thousands of ways, you are beacon lights. You are the beginnings of positive change. robertreich.substack.com/p/a-sunday-t...

So to recap: 1. Maine gov tells Trump she won’t follow an EO that violates state law 2. The USDA (?!) launches 4 day investigation into the U of Maine on a Sat. 3. School confirms it has no trans NCAA athletes, has sex-separated facilities, follows Title IX 4. USDA freezes millions in funding

WTF GOP What are you so afraid of?!!!!!

A guy was so horrified by what Trump did that he bought a full-page ad in the front section of the national Sunday New York Times — which costs somewhere north of USD $100,000 — asking him to resign

It would be good if the UK canceled Trumps visit. He’s an international pariah and a source of shame to all upstanding Americans

Government by Extortion. That’s what is happening. And it’s why Congress refuses to use its collective power to put a stop to it. They fear his extortion of them and their careers.

Elon Musk is destroying Social Security. Every senior citizen will suffer. www.npr.org/2025/02/28/n...

Our country is being trashed by 3 white men with fragile egos - Trump,Musk,Vance. The world is being endangered by their gross immaturity, thirst for cruelty, and rank neediness. And Congress apparently lacks the spine to defend the constitution. God help us.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

This is the way.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Wondering if we should start a betting pool- how long will it take till GOP leaders start backing away from the Musk/Trump admin. When they start to claim they never really went along with it, never really knew the damage being done, tried to be the voices of reason. Sooner or later, they will.

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

A major facet of Trump's effort to close the US Department of Education that hasn't received near enough attention is the potential impact on students with disabilities. The department funnels billions of dollars to special education programs. www.disabilityscoop.com/2025/02/11/p...

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

The devastation continues.

The GOP leadership believe they can get all the goodies they want from DT’s wrecking ball, and then rein him in when they’re done. How quaint.

Julia's doing essential work covering these issues.

It took Adolf Hitler a mere 53 days to destroy democracy in Germany. Will Trump beat that number? (I created this image 5 years ago but I think it's just as appropriate today.)

Has your family been impacted by cancer? Alzheimer’s? Other diseases? Make some noise about this.

Pure evil.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Way to Make America HATED again.

Good morning. Have you called your legislators yet today? Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Hey members of Congress - you do know that Trump and Musk are playing all of you for fools, don’t you?

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

For all my active clergy friends …

Grateful this is getting national media attention

Helen Parsonage is one of my heros.

Trump, who has claimed undocumented immigrants are fueling a crime wave in America, has begun his mass deportations. One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals. Know the truth.

The public has a right to know the full truth about who Trump sprang.

Food for thought.

I just spit out my tea.

Sen. Tillis should heed the call of NC physicians to reject RFK, Jr. as HHS secretary ncnewsline.com/2025/01/17/s...

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights. Read about his lasting legacy.

Did I miss something? When was it the country elected Musk?

“If you witness someone being detained by ICE, take photos, and write down other relevant information from a safe distance. Immediately after, call the Immigrant Defense Project’s hotline at 212-725-6422 to report the raid and find out if the person/s will be eligible for an attorney.” #HereToStay
