I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank. I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any). We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

A lot of creative folks are demoralized right now. Hell, I'm one of them. Maybe some of them are helping you through this rough time. If so, do me a solid: Share their stuff. Drop them a kind word. Tip their Ko-fis, or join their Patreons. It seems like nothing, but it's everything right now. 🤘

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Trump essentially told the Supreme Court to kiss off today. This is, by definition, an autocracy, explicitly illegal. Stand up now or it will be too late.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the “US Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests. It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Yesterday the Trump administration filed a copy of the new Memorandum of Understanding between ICE and the IRS. They allege that the information will be specific to people who are subject to criminal prosecution, and cite a misdemeanor crime for failure to depart after being ordered removed.

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.
