You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming. #PabloNeruda. Happy Spring!

The destruction of the #DepartmentofEducation is yet another classic authoritarian early step. Keep the masses ignorant, uninformed, and manipulable. Let the worst performing states choose to perform even worse.

Disappointed at #ColumbiaUniversity’s capitulation to #Trump on Middle Eastern studies and free speech protocols. This will result in a chilling effect on universities nationwide. Academia is traditionally among the first victims of authoritarianism.

“The fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy” #ElonMusk This pretty much sums up the current regime, as well as psychopathy.

On #InternationalWomensDay, I’d like to honor Dr. #NawalElSaadawi, Egyptian activist, writer,physician and prisoner of conscience. She wrote extensively on women in Islam, with a mission to end female genital mutilation (#FGM). She has beeen called “Egypt’s most radical woman” @bsky.art

Today’sthe anniversary of #BloodySunday. In 1965 state and local police used whips, billy clubs, dogs, and tear gas on hundreds of peaceful activists marching from #Selma to #Montgomery #Alabama. Led by the legendary #JohnLewis, the protest was a catalyst of the #civilrightsmovement. @bsky.art
