"They are abducting people off the streets because Marco Rubio or Donald Trump disagree with their speech. That's unAmerican, unconstitutional, and outrageous." – AAUP President Todd Wolfson

Trans people: please use our correct pronouns and don't call us freaks The Trump administration: if you publicly oppose genocide our secret police will disappear you and send you to a torture gulag in El Salvador Centrists: these two things are the same

"we now live in a world where political might makes right. DOGE’s monthslong infomercial for AI reveals the difference that power can make to a mid technology. It does not have to be transformative to change how we live and work. In the wrong hands, mid tech is an antilabor hammer." #TeslaTakedown

What an impressive accomplishment: Trump managed to turn the entire industrialized world against the United States with his no-win tariff war that will not stimulate domestic manufacturing. Only an industrial policy, legislated democratically by Congress, can do that.

“If you want to be neutral in the face of an authoritarian, antiscience, anti–free speech, anti-intellectual & xenophobic White House that is directly attacking the university, you have no business in a university leadership position. Do your job. Defend your university.” — Historian Robert Cohen

If you add up all the elite university endowments, they have a war chest far more extensive than $15 billion. But there's no sign they dare to defend themselves from Fascism. @palumboliu.bsky.social

Again, why is the story is that we leaked bombing Yemen for the 500th time in 20 years (not including the illegal cluster munitions we gave the Saudis) to Jeffrey Goldberg and not that we bombed Yemen for the 500th time in 20 years (not including the illegal cluster munitions we gave the Saudis)?

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Faculty stepping in to do what their cowardly administrations won’t do—protect the university. Admins too busy silencing, censoring faculty, allowing ICE to run rampant on campus without a word, bowing before Trump. So proud to be a member. #AAUP

“Just think about that for a second: Tens of thousands of people are showing up for political rallies, and the midterms are still more than a year and a half away. That’s unheard of, and it cannot be overlooked.” #TeslaTakeDown

Netanyahu has not allowed any aid into Gaza in 22 days. He broke the ceasefire, resuming a bombing campaign that has killed more than 50,000 people. Now he is threatening a long-term occupation of Gaza. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU’S WAR MACHINE.

Corruption, conflicts of interest, and ethics breaches are blatantly in the open. Musk is feeding from the public trough to enrich himself. Really existing US capitalism: Socializing risk&cost, privatizing profit. In other words, inefficient socialism for the rich. Fuck DOGE!! #TeslaTakeDown

Our movement stands with our trans siblings, our immigrant siblings and everyone targeted by this bigoted, lawless regime. This rule would ban trans care from ACA plans and kick our DACAmented siblings off ACA plans. Please take a few moments to comment HELL NO to this atrocious rule #teslatakedown

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The resistance to Trump 2.0 is alive and well -- look at the number of protests, which have exceeded 2017 by a large margin. They're different in kind, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. #TeslaTakeDown

There is resistance -- it's different than during Trump 1.0, but it exists and is having an impact. Join it in whatever way you can so that the tide against Fascism can turn! #TeslaTakeDown

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.
