The food supply in the United States is about to get very, very dangerous. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

MAGA is the Party of Death. Sending people to a death camp Allowing coal plants to spew more mercury and CO2 Cutting food safety Make America Ugly and Lethal? MAUL

And thank our brave teachers

The idea of due process comes from the Magna Carta, 1215 AD. Trump: It’s socialist indoctrination. Send King Edward to the concentration camp in El Salvador. Me: Bring back the Middle Ages, when people had rights!

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

We mailed off our tax checks today, to pay for a concentration camp to which the dictator may well send any one of us. When do we have a Tea Party? How about "no taxation without representation." #taxday @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov @alt-irs.altgov.info

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Well, I'm on my way to my undergrad class: Tocqueville's Democracy in America. He predicted ways that democracy might collapse: too much class inequality that concentrates economic power in the hands of an "aristocracy of industry," explosive racial inequality, too much consumerism aimed at..._>

Do you want to meet up at the Lincoln/Cypress Metro stop? You'll probably have to park a few blocks away.Let's meet where you buy a tap card, at the bottom of the stairs that go up to the platform, and leave at 3:30. Let me know if we should expect you. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

If you're a professor, you should join The Am. Assoc of University Professors. The AAUP already has 3 lawsuits against current anti-university, anti-free speech, anti-due process horrors. Itf you're a professor, you can most likely afford it @aaup.bsky.social @uscsociology.bsky.social www.aaup.org

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump act like this country belongs to them — grabbing everything they can and daring anyone to stop them. On April 5, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to say loud and clear: Hands Off! Join us: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

A Somerville, MA resident sends along this image of all the people who turned out for an emergency rally today for Romeysa Ozturk, the Tufts University PhD international student who was essentially abducted by ICE yesterday. Thousands came "on six hours' notice."

Meanwhile, Trump is on X saying that egg prices and other grocery prices have gone way down. AND thousands of bots (that is, beings that don't eat) have written comments cheering him on. The good news: It's all bots. The bad news: It doesn't matter that it's all bots.

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order attempting to make changes to U.S. election procedures and threatens funding cuts to states that do not comply. The order is likely to be swiftly challenged in court by voting rights groups.

HO LEE SHEET.

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

What a weekend! Across the U.S., over 100,000 Americans mobilized — including more than 34,000 attendees at the Bernie/AOC rally, marking the biggest political event since Obama. Protests erupted in multiple states to defend Social Security, Tesla takedown protest gained momentum, and so much more!

Yesterday members of @aaup-penn.bsky.social, GETUP, @afscme590.bsky.social, CIR, @rapup-uaw.bsky.social & @phillycwu.bsky.social showed Penn what a petition signed by 1,100+ coworkers looks like. (Turn sound on!) Solidarity with higher ed workers at Columbia and everywhere. Let’s fight like hell!

I keep checking the news, wondering "Has the #dictator imposed martial law yet? With what excuse? Teachers saying that the US once had slavery? Someone exercising the right to "freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble," as in the 1st amendment? #FelonMusk

USIP owns their building. DOGE is vandalizing a building the federal government DOES NOT OWN.
