If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Listen up, i have not ran into any Vietnam, WW2, Desert Shield/Storm , Iraq, Afghanistan #Veteran in the circles i run in that don’t have this same mentality. Get your shit together people and vote them out. There has been too many sacrifices for you to sit on your ass and not do it!

Note: Bullying "Starting in the childhood, autistic people are more likely to be bullied both at home and at school. This continues in the workplace. [this is] unlikely to be broken without significant structural intervention." us.specialisterne.com/workplace-bu... #autism #neurodiversity

RIP mystic/saint Teresa of Ávila, died this day 1582. “It is love alone that gives worth to all things.” “The important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so do that which best stirs you to love.”

“The 17 members of a federal vaccine advisory committee, who were ousted [by RFK Jr.] last week, argued their abrupt dismissal has "left the U.S. vaccine program critically weakened.’” Argh, #VaccinesWork and save (autistic) lives, this is an IRL horror show. www.yahoo.com/news/cdc-vac...

As Republicans are ripping away health care, reporters are being detained for reporting the news! #FreedomToDissent

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share. Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests. It’s trolling at its finest. The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑 #NoKings #FreedomToDissent

Columbia cancelled her course on "Race, Media and International Affairs 101." So she decided to teach it over the summer— online.

From the GOOD POPE…👇 Pass. It. On. 🌈✨

Immigration is personal—and it matters more than ever with the horrors of CECOT. I want thefacts and @redwineblueusa.bsky.social always breaks it down in ways that make sense and hit home. I signed up for this virtual event: join me! social.redwine.blue/s/gsDWwkJG

Happy Easter! ¡Felices Pascuas!

EXACTLY.

“Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies” — 👏🏼

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

This is damning evidence against the Trump regime. Trump invoked a war time act to justify his unconstitutional treatment of civilians, but the intelligence threat assessment flat out contradicts his invocation, leaving it without justification or ground to stand on.

DOGE Cuts 9/11 Survivors’ Fund, and Republicans Join Democrats in Rebuke www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. Gift link here: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

If you want to understand just how regularly RFK Jr. lies and how we got here, the amigos over at Maintenance Phase have a great two-episode special on him. As always @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social are the best. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

It’s another Katie Phang Live tomorrow (Friday) at 1:15 pm ET! We will talk about the SAVE Act and how it’s not saving your vote.

Trump’s MAGA “Hate State” administration and his Billionaire Blitzkrieg of our government and country absolutely don’t care who they hurt in their quest to pave the way for Billionaire tax cuts. Once again, these awful people show no remorse for those in need. They are cruel and barbaric.

Dealing with trump and his illegal, anti constitutional, demands: 1. STAY, DON'T QUIT. that's what he wants, he'll replace you with his thugs. 2. SAY NO. 3. IGNORE HIM. Push back. 4. FOLLOW THE LAW. Continue doing your job. 5. HOLD THE DOOR. 6. If he fires you, CALL A LAWYER AND SUE. it is illegal.

If she can show this sort of courage lawmakers can manage to take tough votes, agency heads can manage to refuse illegal orders. Bravery is contagious.

I need someone to answer this damn question!

Latest: As of today, the Pentagon has an extra 800+ forces on the ground dedicated to the migrant mission. And around 100 Venezuelans split between a prison building with MPs and the preexisting dormitory-style housing for Homeland Security migrants.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Send it out everywhere. Immigrants are people! They have rights!

#pd4youandme My #oneword2025 is health, and I am hoping it will inspire me in many ways. Lots of good questions to motivate action—Am I exercising enough? Is this a healthy relationship for me? Am I meditating and praying each day? Being here is very good for my brain and heart health

#pd4uandme Good morning! I am Margaret, a Spanish teacher from NYC and School Board member from Long Island, NY I love a book chat

starting the year with one of my fav lines from Chandrashekhar Azad "what we are to face has been faced a thousand times and it has been defeated a thousand times before, we are merely those called to now carry on a tradition."

Everyone in academia knows that student course evaluations are biased against instructors who are women and/or people of color. We've known for decades. Study after study confirms the biases. Yet we still use them & weigh them heavily for tenure & promotion. Why?
