I would go further and say that everyone deserves basic necessities to live whether they have a job or not.

There is no single way to resist; only the courage to invent one. 👍

Besides the fact that I’m perfectly fine with tax dollars helping the sick, it is such an insignificant fraction of spending they’re fear mongering about.

The National Council for the NEH had 26 scholars and leaders serving humanities efforts across the U.S. After today’s White House firings, it’s down to just 4 Trump-appointed White men, one terminated member told me.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Can’t wait to hear the plan.

Love hearing an NPR reporter repeat Vought's line about "unconstitutional DEI principles" with nary a query about what the fuck that actually means. At some point we need journalists to make this administration explain some of these batshit utterances.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

The full confirmed list so far for recognition today is France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino and Andorra.

No but seriously where are the hundreds people that disappeared from the monstrosity of the so called “Alligator Alcatraz”? Why aren’t people talking about it? I can find very little and it’s from weeks ago! Are we at the disappearing phase of this horror?! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

ICE is violating article the U.N.'s "Mandela" rules for the minimum treatment of prisoners: "Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs...detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior."

You want to read this book.

Another small thing. Canceled my Disney/Hulu subscription earlier today. Now I just have to break the news to my nephew 😅

✨The Collaboratory for Black Poiēsis is "sharpening our oyster knives," preparing our imaginations and relations, with new + ongoing programs in Black study & collective practice during the 2025–26 year. Details: linktr.ee/blackpoiesis & IG (@blackpoiesis).+ Come thru, reach out, stay tuned ✨

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

A fitting time to say that if these conversations interest you/you’d like a space to think about the moment, please consider joining the Critical Humor Studies Association, of which Raúl is a founding member. (Dues are $0 for graduate students and sliding scale).

All the more reason to get creative with your language. Language is a chimera. Put that monster to work.

I hadn’t logged in in years (because honestly?) and this was all the push I needed to do a thing that took 2 minutes.

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

So many of the half-baked AI implementations are happening in professional arenas that have been hollowed out by extraction and divestment. No journalist needs a writing aid unless they’re being paid too little to write too much, no teacher needs a commenting tool unless they’re overextended.

Coalition forming across generations, sharing knowledge, working together. Those smiling faces. 🧡

We relaunched our canvassing operation a month ago— and our volunteers already surpassed 235k doors knocked, including 39,700 this past weekend. There's a hunger in our city for a new kind of politics and it's motivating people to participate at a scale they never have before.

“Invasion” “ground offensive” Headline alibis

Let's just call this what it is: an attempt to make government assistance conditional on having the right politics.

These people have smarted themselves into the dumbest fucking arguments. Determining whether someone is "doing politics the right way" depends almost entirely on the content of their speech! If someone lies constantly and endorses authoritarians that's not practicing good politics.

(the rule is that using speech to advocate for fascism is just doing good old liberal politics, the right way, but on the other hand, asserting that a fascist is a fascist is violent anti-speech and there is blood on your hands for it)

Describing white supremacists as “political activists” and “right-wing activists” is always a revealing choice.

who learned it from Wambui wa Mwangi. She insisted that some questions shouldn’t be asked, for to pose them is to cede in advance ethical and political ground and to grant unserious people space to be taken seriously while spreading their toxins and disturbing our peace. 2/

One thing that everyone with any sense will have to do over the next few years is to refuse to accept lies and bullshit.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

Malcolm X: “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

Just fyi all this bullshit that Bluesky is doing they tried out first on people from Gaza

You want us to believe an elite transgender marksman escaped in tactical gear only to leave their bullets & weaponry behind, carefully ensuring they had “transgender ideology” inscribed on it for law-enforcement to find?? Of all the things that never happened, that never happened the most

Meanwhile…

People say Boston is a white city because they don’t know Boston is a city in a majority minority metro where the Taiwanese American mayor succeeds in part because she campaigns in Haitian Kreyòl

going to keep saying: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Alaa is exhausted, tired, and afraid. If you want to do something kind today, consider making a donation in support of this Palestinian family. They are currently facing displacement again, under desperate conditions. They have only survived this long bc of the kindness of people who have donated.

If the future of your party depends on that man, then your party is already at the point of no return.
