Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

If Trump abolishes the Department of Education special education will be devastated. Even if they move it to another department if there are delays in funding, states can not make up for it. But don't worry schools will get special Ed and the arts and there will still be school football teams.

And everyone who said it’s not about race. The fact that the very first moves of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid. This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Wild that MAGA wraps itself in "1776" rhetoric while celebrating Trump/Musk's lawless authoritarianism. The whole point of 1776 was to say we don't want to be ruled by a king.

They want to make it illegal to call a student by their chosen pronouns. They want to ban teaching Howard Zinn and Studs Terkel and Dr. Kendi. They want to tell kids who to be and what to think. They are schoolyard bullies with too much power. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

So this is the thing I've been building. I think it's really cool. I'm a little out of practice presenting on video, but I just want to get people to try it. Let me know if the video is compelling or not to you -- I am going out to get grant funding on a related project, and would love to know.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Another excellent visualization, from Matthew Klein, of how much the consumers angry about & suffering from inflation are spending like hell, at inflation-adjusted rates <higher> than they did in the halcyon era of 2015-19, across the full range of goods & services that consumers consume.
