The Trump administration is attacking Americans' collective bargaining rights. This illegal attack on workers will also hurt communities served by educators, healthcare professionals, and the workers who safeguard the food supply and preserve Medicaid and Medicare. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
Full of people down 5th avenue, view from 39th Street.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.
