MAGA is dark. This is a quintessential example - diverting state funding for children to attempt to control women's bodies.

End the genocide in Gaza now.

Let's be real. Trump has trampled the Constitution. This is happening all over the country. It's time to stop pretending that the US is still a democracy and time to respond appropriately to the fascist coup.

Someone was disappeared off of the connecting flight i took to leave the United States. In front of my kids. Without mention of a warrant. No one did anything. This is what it is like to fly in the US today.

The Trump regime has turned ICE into a force disappearing and physically harming people inside the country. This is just one story of MANY. What is your line? www.ktsm.com/news/ice-det...

It's not just you that is financially struggling. The Trump regime is causing 1 in 4 in the US to live paycheck to paycheck. That will likely increase over time. You can't afford to stay. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/economy/job-prices-debt-economy

We need to do more than just think Trump being unpopular will lead to an end of the MAGA regime. The US is no longer a democracy. We need to rethink resistance.

The U.S. is not a democracy anymore. We need to stop planning resistance as if it is. Elections, advocating to Congress, and courts won't stop this. But this regime must be stopped.

The way that MAGA uses policies like Title IX to do the opposite of what was intended! This is about a student who wrote a paper based in the Bible for a psychology class. This is one of many examples of how higher Ed in the US is crumbling.

Come join me in Europe

Democracies don't disappear 6 year olds.

Congress can't fix it. It's time to accept that the United States is dead. And focus on stopping this group of fascist oligarchs. t Then build a new democracy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrQKFo4f/

1 of many examples of why I fled the U.S. I don't want my kids to watch their classmates be disappeared. What's your line? open.substack.com/pub/debraguc...

U.S. academics, this is our moment. Who's with me?

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours. She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump. Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

"The fact that I needed a lawyer, it took me a long time to wrap my head around. Because what other federal benefits do people receive that you need to hire a lawyer for? I thought, ‘This doesn't make any sense.’" ~ Debra Guckenheimer, SSDI recipient from California

NEW: I’m calling on Trump to cancel private jet flights instead of commercial airlines. Private jet flights often take a single billionaire passenger, but still put real strain on our air traffic control system.

"Among scholars who were targeted for something they said: One in five lost their jobs. Forty percent feel shunned. A third have lost friends." Pathetic. If this is the best we can do, I'd almost say we deserve it. I mean come on. SOLIDARITY, people. www.chronicle.com/newsletter/d...

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky. “It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

Want to spite RFK Jr? Get an updated Covid vaccine if you can.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I stand with Dr. Melissa McCoul. Every academic should. As should every individual.

CVS is stopping to vaccinate children against COVID in many states. My pediatrician can't get the vaccine for the office. I expect getting vaccines to become increasingly difficult, and not just against COVID.
