The Trump administration froze funding for a program to upgrade aging low-income housing and make it energy efficient. The move threatens hundreds of projects around the country. By @jenniferludden.bsky.social

Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.

I would do the same thing. #FUCKTRUMP

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Thousands of Baltimore City students lose tutoring, after-school activities next week

“A 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now … is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good.”

If dreams were elaborate theatrical productions, what would their trailing wires, the bits that don’t make it to the stage, look like? Perhaps something like Abraham Lincoln Walker’s paintings.

Or they're sheep and believe that their dear leader will lead them into the "golden era". You can't fix stupid or force people to admit the truth. Give them a good con and they won't even put up a fight while you strip away everything.

I hope millions show up across the country tomorrow!

Waiting for the R's to complete the death spiral and become the rotting corpse it deserves to be.

How much more of this are we going to take without a literal fight?🗡️

Friendly reminder that Republicans could end this tariff mess TODAY. They just won’t. Make sure they know you know. #tariffs

Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ includes 17% tariffs on Israeli imports, even as Israel cancels tariffs on US goods forward.com/fast-forward...

In 1392 Richard II eliminated tariffs on eel imports, & asked foreign merchants to bring eels "from over sea, where they are abundant, to London where they are dear." He knew that higher tariffs meant getting less of what you want. Oh, the lessons that eel history can teach us... 🗃️🧪

#JimBanks doesn't deserve to be an American citizen, let alone be in a leadership position. May justice come for him soon.

Sometimes it is useful to look at antebellum political cartoons to see what they were discussing. Today’s selection, called Funeral Obsequies of Free-Trade, lamented the Polk administration’s Tariff of 1846. 🗃️

Trump Attacks The #Smithsonian mysteriousdrone.ghost.io/w/

🔥 Buckle up, because this column pulls no punches. If #Trump had his way, the writer—and anyone who dares to read it—would be flown to the infamous prison in El Salvador. Why? Because it tells history he & allies are desperate to erase? #history #DEI #Smithsonian open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...
