RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous. I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

For all the attention on Columbia rn, it feels like this story hasn’t gotten nearly the attention it deserves: Musk/Trump cutting $800 MM from Johns Hopkins — leafing to 2,000 layoffs and termination of programs to stop TB, malaria, diarrhea and other deadly diseases hub.jhu.edu/2025/03/14/j...

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

I joined our veterans, and the good folks who serve them, at the Minneapolis VA to make sure Trump knows our veterans don't want to see 83,000 caregivers fired.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Let me explain something that should be obvious: when you place somebody in custody, you assume responsibility for their wellbeing. Your job is to keep them alive and well, sometimes even in spite of themselves. Zero excuse for this. Care when it happens to them or idgaf when it happens to you.

This cut halts 330 truckloads of food to California food banks. Just contemplate for a moment what kind of person eliminates food shipments to food banks. I’ve volunteered at food banks. These are members of our community — often with more than one job — who simply can’t make ends meet. Just vile

#ProudBlue Here is Paul Weiss, a GOP Member of Congress, telling the truth about Trump. We all know it's the truth (many of us watched the 2020 insurrection live). But Trump, like a gang boss, has ways to demand acquiescence even to the point of rejecting our Constitution & way of live.

#ProudBlue Trump's tax plan basically transfers massive amounts of the Federal budget from uses that benefit low-middle income Americans, ~40% of the population, to the top 1%. Basically he's transferring the US from a republic to an oligarchy.

#ProudBlue Trump has given away any shred of security this country has. Musk is in close communication with leaders in both China and Russia. He has no allegiance, he's doing it to feed an insatiable lust for power and fortune.

#ProudBlue Trump has admitted he doesn't have the power to eradicate the Dept. of Education w/o help from Congress, but he can certainly shrink it, & the existing requirements for support for disabled kids will likely go away. Remember "I love the uneducated"? www.rawstory.com/students-wit...

#ProudBlue Red counties & Red states suffer most when programs that benefit the poor, such as Medicaid, are cut or withdrawn. Dems should make this a major talking point. GOP views poverty as a sign of laziness or incompetence, which is why they oppose programs to alleviate it.
