Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

My latest: "Numerous studies show that majors in the humanities—typically, in departments of English, history, philosophy, religious studies, classics and languages—lead students to employment and life satisfaction outcomes as positive as those for majors traditionally championed as 'practical.'”

I think Democrats in both houses have somehow (focus groups? pundits?) decided that threats to health care must be their focus in fighting Trump & Republicans. Did someone say to them "it's health care, stupid?" Calling on the military & national guard to attack US citizens merits some energy too

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Maybe if they had tried indicating the actual sandwich?

Timeline cleanse, for sure

I wonder if the Columbia leadership realizes (or cares) how much blowback there might be from *within* the academy. This post, from a Cornell Law professor, is worth reading: 3d.laboratorium.net/2025-07-25-c...

We’ve got in the habit, starting in earnest a year ago, of blaming the craziness of populists on political polarization. But there has not, in any measurable way, been a general polarization to extremes of left and right. Only one side became polarized www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Here’s a link to the episode! 🌿💙

The demand for “viewpoint diversity” does not extend to the Board of Visitors at UVA. As usual THE CAVALIER DAILY is a very fine newspaper. Perhaps we should get some of its journalists appointed to the NYTimes. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Thank you, Professor Thorsson!

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Here again, Professor McDowell sharing wisdom that could not be more timely

My incomparable and inspiring adviser, Dr. Deborah E. McDowell. One of the many powerful lessons I learned from her: NEVER waste a podium

The Democratic Party establishment is old, weak, and corrupt, writes @jeetheer.bsky.social. Seizing power from it is a crucial part of saving American democracy.

Twin Cities Tesla Takedown Global Day of Celebration Saturday, June 28th Tesla Golden Valley 11 AM - 1 PM @teslatakedown.com @indivistwincities.bsky.social @mn50501.bsky.social @indivisiblemn03.org @indivisiblewmetro.bsky.social

Hey Amy, if you care about teen suicides you should take a public stand on trans solidarity this Pride month. My expectations for you are low and yet you still aren't managing to meet them.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

The smears against Zohran coming from the Democratic establishment are also a sign of fear—they’re more scared of the party becoming progressive than they are of the country already being fascist. If Zohran wins, it signals a reckoning. If Cuomo wins, they can keep the failing status quo intact.

Compilation of massive 'NO KINGS!' protests today ✊ #NoKings

I've never loved Boston more

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

there’s plenty of criticisms to be levied against americans in general but we are still the country where brave people intentionally crashed a jet liner and sacrificed themselves instead of letting it be used to kill many many more

Writing stories that insist that there is order in the chaotic mind and actions of powerful white men is an actual beat at our most influential media institutions.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

met this thing for the very first time yesterday at @peoplesbooktakoma.com— a weird feeling, truthfully, to see eight years of your life condensed into a 1-pound stack of paper. But it is very pretty & I hope some of you guys like it 🌿

Trump's primary criterion for hiring is sycophancy, but what he perceives as good hair is a close second

This whole clip is truly unbelievably great. I am genuinely astounded by how good this is.

With all the conversions lately, Brooks, Newsome, Stephens, but maybe no libertarians, I am reminded that to be "fiscally conservative" but "socially liberal" is a (selfish) contradiction

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

We were there: spectacular and inspiring turnout

Not original to me, I don't think, but 47 is punishing the entire U.S. for not reelecting him for 2020. Vengeance generally explains all, including tariffs, with him

Saturday noon 5 April 2025 rally at Capitol in Saint Paul, MN will be a peaceful, legal, nonviolent exercise of right "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Come join us. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet...

I blame George W. Bush. He softened America up to the idea that we could have someone stupid in the White House and things would still function.

If, like me, you need some direction about how to fight the end of democracy in the US and the patriarchal white supremacists who seek that end, here is a guide for how to act now: lots of options here for all sorts of forms of resistance. Thank you to @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social and team for this.

Even folks with a minimal amount of knowledge of Constitutional law understand that this "guest essay" is utter bullshit, grounded in nothing but racism. If NYT has any shame or integrity, they will retract it
