Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

Trump keeps giving gifts to dictators. The termination of Radio Martí and the Voice of America is yet another gift to the dictators in Havana, Caracas, and Moscow.

I never thought leopards would eat MY face

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Truer words were never spoken.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

A heroes welcome… here’s the parliament of Finland standing ovation for Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from the brains of people destined to develop Alzheimer’s dementia can delay the disease. Read more: cnn.it/4iHjzJj

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

There’s just a few days left before the Wisconsin Supreme Court election and getting out the youth vote is mission-critical. Join Jack Schlossberg, @votersoftomorrow.org, and our incredible partners to call young voters in Wisconsin and remind them to vote! www.mobilize.us/grassrootsde...

i don’t know how your day is going but Lindsay found a newt during an inspection this morning so hers has been pretty great.

Federal employees know how to be anonymous. But in today’s climate, silence isn’t an option. If you are/were a career federal worker alarmed by what’s happening, we need your voice. @juliezebrak.bsky.social urges you to share what you know, speak truth to power, & help preserve democracy.

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Wonder if it will move the needle that normie sites like ESPN are now covering the attempted erasure of Black folks.

This seems problematic

Today is the 1st day of early voting for the WI Supreme Court. Susan Crawford is running for this seat & will protect the basic rights & freedoms guaranteed to Wisconsinites under our constitution. Make your plan to vote for her. Go to vote.wisdems.org for more info on EV dates & polling locations.

Can you say the same?! 🤚 I’ll. Never. Understand. ✨

A Peruvian national was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement despite being married to a US citizen after she attempted to re-enter the United Stat… Now this newlywed husband is questioning his vote

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

Sweden's Univ of Gothenburg says US will likely NOT be considered a Democracy within the next year. Our rapid decline into Autocracy is underway - and how this criminal administration responds to judges rulings & what courts allow will be critical in this evaluation. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

I am honored to have been welcomed to a local clinic for Medicaid Day of Action. Medicaid is vital for millions of families, children, seniors, & underserved communities. We should prioritize preventative care and get vaccinated for a healthier future. #MedicaidDayofAction

Today, a federal judge confirmed what is clear as day in the Constitution — only Congress can reorganize USAID, a federal agency it created.

Today is #GlobalRecyclingDay so we're recycling this post from Twitter/X about how libraries are great at recycling. And by recycling this post we have saved valuable energy because it has saved us from having to think up something new. ♻️ Share resources. Borrow books. #LoveLibraries. ♻️

HMMM: So the administration reveals in a new court filing (ordered by Judge Bates) that Amy Gleason was actually hired by HHS as an "expert/consultant" on March 4, just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE.

It's come to my attention that some people believe you can't buy a new book until you've read the books you already have. Let me assure you, as both a lawyer and a writer, that this idea is legally and morally WRONG and BAD. Buy more books.

Last month, Jose Franco Caraballo Tiapa, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking asylum in the US, showed up to his routine check-in with ICE in Dallas, when authorities detained him. His wife believes he’s one of the hundreds of Venezuelan men who were sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

"Krasnov, you're not in a very good position right now. You don't have the cards right now. Even if you did, you're far too stupid to use them."

And that time is now…👇 So, get OUT, get INVOLVED, and get LOUD! America. Isn’t. Gonna. Save. Itself. 🇺🇸✨

Canada is home to world-class scientists and researchers. We have a unique opportunity to recruit top US talent amid their recent major research cuts. What's our plan? 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Tired: Flipping off Cybertrucks. Wired: Flipping over Cybertrucks.

Thanks, Keir, for the warm welcome at 10 Downing Street.    At a time of great consequence for our country — one in which our sovereignty has been called into question — alliances and friendships like ours matter.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

The clinic where I work has a budget shortfall in the mid 6 figures per month. That’s the difference between saving lives literally and figuratively and having to furlough 2/3 of the staff. That’s all we need and part (1/n)

It’s giving “fake it ‘til you make it” energy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
