New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests. n.pr/497P6C4

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

The Trump administration has killed IRS Direct File, the program that let you file your taxes for free. Direct File will not be operational this coming tax season.

stuff like dick cheney dying on election day reaffirms many of my personal religious beliefs

the fact that USDA tells grocers that they cannot give SNAP recipients discounts in times when people are starving is a whole different kind of cruelty. People will die from this, and none of them had to.

I don't think people outside of NYC fully see how incredibly RACIST Cuomo's campaign has been. It rivals any of the most racist campaigns of the 20th century. Just racism all the way down.

[gift article] "Italy syndrome" & "post-Italy syndrome", terms for the effects of caregiving on Eastern European migrant women & their families. Symptoms include burnout, depression, & suicide attempts. How we support care recipients, caregivers, & their families matters. #caregiving #carework

Fellow NYC residents, if you haven't yet sent a letter to your City Council member demanding that they support @nycplan.org's call to increase and stabilize NYC public library funding, please do. It will take 30 seconds: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

To everyone who continues to deny that climate change is real. To everyone who continues to defund infrastructure maintenance and repair. To everyone who thinks this is random chance… What is wrong with you?

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.

With Medicaid cutbacks on the horizon, millions in the U.S. are expected to go uninsured. In the Mississippi Delta region — one of the poorest places in the U.S. — people are stressed and mad.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

Hi @prisonculture.bsky.social can I ask for your help sharing our list🔁? I'm a Bilingual Teacher in TX. Hispanic Heritage Month will start soon and we have these wish items for our classrooms.

Attention #Medsky #Latinsky and #MutualAid communities! Paul got accepted to a post bacc program at UC Davis and could use some support, especially given the caps for graduate student loans that were recently announced. Any little bit helps. gofund.me/8f6415d0

Did somebody say ART?

I need people to stop assuming these “small” increases are inconsequential. For a lot of us, our current rents are still unaffordable. We also live in buildings that are decaying, mismanaged, and in neighborhoods experiencing the cognitive dissonance of both disinvestment and gentrification. (1/2)

As disability pride month starts up, this is my reminder to everyone that you should still be masking. Masking helps keep people safe and helps people who wouldn't regularly be able to join folks because of health concerns welcome in the community spaces we share.

“So, to make this exception and to want to basically silence me, that's what they wanted, and to intimidate other students, to make an example of me, is really a great violation, I would say, to what we have seen in this country, even to the rule of law.”

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

“They're trying to convince people this is more dangerous than it is. It is not like that. What I'm seeing is a protest as American as I've seen any other protest. And so I'm very optimistic that when someone with force tries to stay shut up, people are not indifferent to that. They care.”

Free him now.

“….the way you can sort of know if you're being copagandized is, are you being told that the solution to our problems, to all those fears, is more and more and more and more investment in the punishment bureaucracy, in the tools and mechanisms of state repression.”

Somebody start a petition to make "Earth Song" the new American national anthem.

🚨ALL OUT TO BROOKLYN COLLEGE: Dozens of NYPD cars and buses are already lined up outside campus, ready to punish students for supporting Palestine. Reject this gratuitous police suppression—pull up.

Dozens of NYPD officers entered Brooklyn College Campus moments ago, clearing out the lawn of a small pro-Palestinian demonstration which had been going on for several hours.

Next week is my first doctoral examination as a PhD student! Currently cycling through the following moods: 😵‍💫😱😬🥱😳 It's really scary presenting work that I care about so much to a room full of brains. But f### it, we ball #AcademicSky #PhDSky #DevPsych

Disability advocates have filed a federal lawsuit against the Social Security Administration and "DOGE." They're trying to halt the cuts to the SSA. DOGE going after Social Security has made it harder for disabled people and older folks to access benefits, the lawsuit says.

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration could lay off thousands more employees next week, WaPo reports. Some 7,000 jobs have already been cut through firings and buyouts. Elon Musk's DOGE is demanding more cuts to dismantle the services that 74 million rely on.

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
