It’s not too late to start masking again, and it’s not an all or nothing thing. Maybe you just start masking at the grocery store. That’s something. Your disabled comrades thank you! Your body will thank you too!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions.

I’m increasingly of the view that whether media outlets call this a Nazi salute tells you everything you need to know about them. If they don’t have the courage to say things which can be proven simply by looking at them, how can they be trusted to hold the Trump admin to account on anything else?

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

The Constitution gives Congress power to establish the U.S. Postal Service. It did, by law, during the Washington administration. Its status as an independent agency was established by Congress in law. USPS is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable.
