Also seeing a lot of real progressive candidates show up at these events and connection with voters. Seeing meaningful alternatives to milquetoast mainstream dems at these events gets voters excited and engaged.

We need more people like Eloina, who see an injustice and take action, not for themselves but for those who come behind them. I hope this is just the first of MANY actions she organizes. #proudprof

This is why the humanities and courses I teach in #communicationstudies are important: this student is graduating and wasn’t going to deal with the effects but she had cultivated empathy for others and had the skill to DO something about the situation.

One of my students organized an amazing action at #sacstate protesting course reductions and layoffs. 300+ students attended and called @calstate.bsky.social Chancellor Garcia to account. So powerful! www.kcra.com/article/sacr...

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

She saw family in Lebanon. Now this Brown Medicine doctor is being held at Logan for deportation.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh flew into Logan Airport Thursday after visiting family in Lebanon. She's being detained now at Logan without legal counsel.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Credit where credit is due. NYT’s illustration of the risk of measles infection vs. vaccine is powerful. Via @kkjetelina.bsky.social
Illustration showing that for every 10k people who get measles, 2k are hospitalized, 1k get ear infections with potential hearing loss, 500 get pneumonia, 10-30 get respiratory or neurological complications and 10 get encephalitis. Meanwhile, for every 10k who get the MMR vaccine, 3 get fever related seizures, 0.4 get abnormal blood clotting, and 0.035 get allergic reactions.

My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable. These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on. Our newsroom work is continuing. No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, I’d speak out and leave.

All the social media posting in the world isn’t going to fix things. Share info, yes. But call your legislators, get involved with mutual aid groups, become a legal observer, take an accompaniment training. Hope can be found in the work.

Grift? Yes, but he’s not the only one. Inaugurals aren’t federally funded and generally rely on large loans and donors, with the expectation that the event will make enough money to pay the loans back. Was just reading about this in the George W. Bush presidential archives.

Arrived at my childhood home to find my brother wearing a “thankful trump won” T-shirt, complete with cartoon turkey. He knows I work with trans and undocumented folks who are terrified. He chose to wear the shirt the day I arrived. The complete lack of empathy is astounding.
