It's critical to keep naming these losses, not in the spirit of "can you believe what they're doing," but to remember what's being lost. I've taught students from countries that erase the past, and they're stunned to learn of major events in their own countries. That's the fascist goal here.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

For those of us advocating for Palestinians & end to genocide, @schumer.senate.gov & Gilibrand already told us who they were. Didn’t take calls for months last year (no recording available) & never had my many letters, phone calls, or emails answered. Got 1 random reply from Gilibrand on tech thing.

I'm a broken record on this so I'll just say again that you should take every opportunity to [if you can] gather with other people who are trying to do constructive things in the world. Attend the zine fairs, the craft circles, the workshop sessions, food distros, people's assemblies, all of it.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

I was on Senate Floor in October 1991 when Congresswomen marched over to protest the handling of the Thomas nomination. In the next cycle, incumbents lost primaries and women Senators were elected. I encourage House Democrats to make a similar protest tomorrow. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

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.

This is a child with brain cancer. A U.S. citizen who deserves compassion and care like everyone else. Instead, Trump and Republicans are forcing her out of the country and ripping away her medical care.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

This is a big part of why I keep repeating that there are NO ALLEGATIONS of antisemitism, harassment of students, or other bad acts floating around about Mahmoud Khalil. Nothing from the Trump admin, nothing in the pro-Trump press, nothing in anti-protest social media. Nothing anywhere.
