Trump’s masked gestapo just shoved a Common Defense member and Air Force veteran to the ground and arrested him for peacefully protesting in Illinois. The lawlessness of this regime must end — and he must be released immediately!

Trump's Tax Scam is a disaster. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/reso... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/...
Blue graphic with white letters reads: Trump's Big Ugly Bill: 
Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR

Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world

Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans

Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits

Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs

Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

Ryan speaks so well to this moment - how we the faculty have held our universities to a higher standard, how we can move them to right action by speaking loudly and together, and how universities will only continue to on the right side of history through our effort.
A lot of people have real fears. There are people on this campus who are going to lose jobs. There are people who are worried about losing their immigration status. We need to be here for those of us that are vulnerable. The most vulnerable people in our community have way more courage than me or most of the rest of us. But courageous people need our love and support too. Use our power to give that to them.We also have to use our power to keep insisting that Harvard do better. The administration did the right thing by standing up to external attacks on academic freedom. But we must remember that academic freedom at Harvard has also come under attack from within. We have had center directors dismissed, programs paused, and partnerships canceled. These are threats to academic freedom. If we sacrifice our soul in this fight against authoritarianism, we have done the bidding of the authoritarians for them. We all must hold each other and our leadership accountable to not let that happen., you know, Harvard has been admired before. Before the American Civil War, there were thinkers here who said Harvard must stand on the side of abolitionism. And you know what? There were people who said that that position was wrong and we had to stay out of politics. And it took time but eventually Harvard stood for what was right. And before World War 2, there were people who said Harvard had to stay neutral in the face of fascism. But instead Harvard chose to take a stand. We see now that Harvard was on the right side of history and we can be proud.
And in this moment too, we are on the right side of history. But there is going to be tremendous pressure not to be – both internally and externally. So, we must be in this struggle together. We must support each other. And if we can do that, then we will look back on what we did with pride.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.
Photo of text from a newspaper article that says “Kennedy advances the lies that vaccines cause autism, increase cancer risk, and result in higher death rates. None of this is true, but Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence showing the safety of vaccines.
His goal is to cause fear over vaccines and public health ini-tiatives, which he does for profit Kennedy will promote decreased vaccine uptake, as he did when he influenced government officials in Samoa to stop measles vaccinations; in the resulting measles epidemic, 83 people died from measles, mostly chil-dren. The same will happen here.”

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.
