In DC, Trump officials celebrated the decimation of USAID with a sheet cake. In South Sudan, USAID budget cuts closed a health clinic in the middle of a cholera outbreak. Tor Top had to take his sick mother to the hospital, 8 hours away. She died on the way. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding. Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won. Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5

ICYMI. The MPLS police chief has told his officers that if they see ICE breaking the law, arrest them…or lose their jobs. www.ms.now/news/minneapolis-p...

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Thank you @engagelongisland.bsky.social for such an incredible night. We had such a productive conversation about the attacks on public ed, how to help students and my book Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

I wanted this book to be a warning. - @rweingarten.bsky.social to @engagelongisland.bsky.social members

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
