Tsunami … Both excess and tsunamis represent overwhelming forces-one in abundance, the other in destruction. When uncontrolled, they can be devastating and even deadly. #TaxTheRich 🖖

Trump is projecting far more power than he actually has. The executive orders makes it seem as if he has complete control, but much of it is smoke and mirrors, PR for his base. An authoritarian only wins if we let them win. Don’t make his job easy by making us believe we’re already defeated.

And there it is. The Vichy Kennedy Center is up and running. People outside of DC do not understand how this space has been utilized by the DC Public School system as an important hub of inclusivity. That’s now been destroyed

Let me be very clear: The last person I want to hear talking about the risks of SSRIs is a sociopathic conman who spent much of his life self-medicating his own mental health issues -- including treating his ADHD with heroin! -- and who now wants the rest of us to validate those choices.

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.

There was a purge yesterday at the National Parks Service and we need to be screaming about it. Historians, these are our public history colleagues!

1/🚨Trump just signed an executive order creating the Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by RFK Jr.—a known anti-vaccine activist. This is a Trojan horse for anti-science policies, deregulation, & health misinformation. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

No they're not. They know exactly what they're voting for: The continued dismantling of our public health system. That's what they want. You know this. Why do we have to do this playacting goldfish brain shit every time.

For the 79% of heterosexual married women whose legal married name doesn’t match your birth certificate or passport, get ready to have your voting rights frozen. Yes, read that again. No, that is not hyperbole. Act now.

We join with publishers, authors, booksellers & librarians to affirm that the White House executive order recognizing only two sexes constitutes censorship and has no place in a free society. University presses strive to give voice to the breadth of human knowledge & experience. 1/2
