BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing. Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway. FREE PALESTINE!

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

U Nebraska has the guts to step up for higher education but my employer, Dartmouth, is insisting that we have something to learn from Trump’s critique. What say you, trustees @jaketapper.bsky.social & @nealkatyal.bsky.social?

Trump won 64% of the vote in Arkansas. The only thing billionaires like Trump and Musk care about: getting richer. It’s never too late to realize this and start fighting with us to kick them out of our government.

What do you think of media coverage of the pro-democracy movement & demonstrators? Are Americans getting adequate understanding of the protests? We’ve got some observations. Read our blog post. The good, the bad & the ugly: NYT, WaPo, AP, NPR public editor… 1/n open.substack.com/pub/mediaand...?

The City Council's lawsuit challenging the mayors EO returning ICE to Rikers has a hearing tomorrow. Hearing is at 2:30pm. We will be meeting for a rally during that time. Come stand with us! #iceout #closerikers

“No to the defunding of university research, no to the targeting of international students and immigrant workers, no to the suppression of free speech and protest, no to attacks on unions and on workers,” Adam Waters, president of Local 33 UNITE HERE, Yale’s graduate workers’ union.”

At least 19 states, all of whom with Democratic attorneys general, presented “undisputed evidence” they were not receiving FEMA funds already appropriated by Congress.

NO NY MASK BAN Your calls are working but we need to keep the pressure up. KEEP CALLING If you are from out of state you should also call and say it will prevent you from traveling here.

🚨🚨🚨 Here we go Federal judge from MD rules that Trump regime must return Maryland father of 5 year child - Abrego Garcia - who they detained (kidnapped) due to an "administrative error" to the US from the slave labor camp in El Salvador by April 7, 11:59 pm.

If you missed me on The View, here’s the segment. :)

I’ve always been an institutionalist when it comes to critiquing mainstream and legacy media, whether it’s MSNBC, NYT, etc— the point is not to excoriate (or fawn over!) individual journalists and writers, the point is to reveal institutional relationships to power. It’s a very ugly relationship..

As major public flagship and private universities fall like dominoes to the current regime, bolstered by billions in endowments but no strong adherence to espoused principles, smaller schools such as LMU in Los Angeles have this to say:

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

ACT UP commemorates their 38th anniversary by holding a rally, march and die-in to protest the billions of $$$ in health-related funding cuts. Sat 3/29 -12pm rally. 12:30pm march @ NYC AIDS Memorial (W12th St & Greenwich Ave) followed by march to Tesla Showroom (W13th St & Washington St.)

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

The Working Families Party is weighing a number of strategies to encourage its supporters to unite behind a single progressive candidate and block Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams from winning the Democratic mayoral primary in New York.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Elon Musk isn't exposing fraud. Elon Musk is committing fraud. Give us a follow and like this post if you agree!

To understand Trump's trajectory and the lack of prosecution, you need to understand the trajectory of Meyer Lansky. From THEY KNEW (2022):

Today's Social Media Are No Longer Safe for Journalism | Journalism has been so beaten down by big tech that it’s hard to imagine a different way of doing things. But we must. www.commondreams.org/opinion/soci...

Last night @schumer.senate.gov was booed at a New York town hall. Constituents unleashed their anger and fear—Chuck Schumer isn’t leading, isn’t fighting, and they know it. People are done with empty words. They want action.

URGENT: Join us in urging Governor Hochul NOT to ban face masks in New York! bit.ly/StopMaskBanNY Criminalizing masks does NOT make New Yorkers safer. It puts our health at risk, enables racist enforcement, exiles some people with disabilities from society @covidadvocacyny.bsky.social #NoNYMaskBan

When you removed populations from the category of human rights, are you removing them from the category of human?

Jamie Raskin asks citizens to mail in a request for Freedom of Information Act regarding DOGE accessing your social security information. Just print the form, mail it to DOGE, and then get on a list for Raskin to alert you to updates about the request. jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

"Unless a groundswell of popular resistance moves to meaningfully stop the Trump administration’s targeting of Columbia and students, the rest of America will be considered prey." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"Sing Sing," "Heretic," and "Beau is Afraid" are just a few of the movies you should be watching on Max this month.

@allinwithchris.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social needs to have many more organizers on his show. Get Daniel Hunter on there as just one example. There are many others.

ICE is not accounting for the whereabouts of dozens of detainees from New Mexico

Articles like this are why I follow Ken, because he keeps me focused on the stories that really matter.

“The Trump administration has canceled funding for an ongoing 30-year, nationwide study tracking patients with prediabetes and diabetes, researchers said, at a time when top officials have emphasized their determination to curb the incidence of such chronic conditions.”

Arkansas truck driver says they're stopping people at the weigh station and asking drivers to read & write a piece of paper in English. Those who can't are asked to pay a $5,000 fine, lose their license, & are arrested. 👇🏼 bit.ly/4kAWUAc P.S. He has a black kitty. 🐈‍⬛

Zero due process. This is the first 60 seconds of a propaganda video the president shared of accused “Venezuelan gang members” being taken to El Salvador. Hard to watch, but we should all see what is being done in our name.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

BREAKING: @indivisible.org calls on Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader after voting in favor of GOP funding bill. “Our democracy is in danger. The path ahead will be hard. Indivisibles are ready to do the work - it’s time for a Senate Democratic Leader who is too.” Full statement:

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

It's raining ads for anyone who wants to primary Schumer. bsky.app/profile/jeff...
