Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

Just before May Day, Congress gave federal workers the finger. 🖕The House Oversight Committee voted to slash our benefits: higher retirement contributions/ reduce take-home pay, smaller pensions, weaker job protections. It’s not law yet—final vote likely in July. 😡Thread with details ⬇️

Cities aren't meant to freeze in time. They're meant to grow, evolve, and change to meet the needs of their populace. Housing conservatives - NIMBYs, anti-transport, anti-infrastructure, etc - are a direct threat to the survival of your city. They are demons seeking to strangle the life from it.

Speaking freely online shouldn’t cost you your visa. But the federal government is using social media surveillance to target student visa holders living in the U.S. for online speech the administration disfavors. This is an alarming attack on digital rights.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

"Sure, they’re contemplating a 'baby bonus.' But they’re also cutting funding for children’s health, reversing PFAS and lead pipe rules, eliminating food safety measures, and attacking vaccines. Call it two sides of the eugenicist coin."

The Trump administration’s lack of transparency about tariff exemptions has experts concerned that some firms might be winning narrow carve-outs behind closed doors. “It could be corruption, but it could just as easily be incompetence,” one lobbyist said. @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

Trump and his cronies peddle the myth we’re “Washington bureaucrats.” But 85% of federal workers live outside D.C. We help vets in Phoenix, inspect meat in Iowa, fight fires in Montana, and run weather models in Oklahoma. We work for all Americans, every day. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pope Francis' environmental encyclical Laudato Si changed my life. Inspired by Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of all who study and work in ecology, he called for an "integral ecology lived out joyfully and authentically" and to live an ecological life of self-giving and openheartedness. RIP.

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

This week it’s hard not to despair as we see everything we’ve lost. But public health has always been an act of faith. Faith that incremental changes can make vast differences in the future. So keep speaking up. Keep doing the work. We are the keepers of the seeds. And we will grow again. 💚
