When she spoke at an NYC anti-war protest in the 1960s, men hurled slurs & shouted her down. There was no "left" for women to join. But Gloria and countless unnamed heroes of the Women's Movement enabled us to go to college; have real jobs; and own our money. Rest in power, magnificent warrior.

Witness @nytimes.com drop a coy euphemism in service to the cult of white nationalism they call a government.
NY Times attributes Hegseth's openly racist & misogynist rejection of promotions to his "anti-diversity stance."

"To help address rising skepticism of higher education, we will partner with a notoriously obtuse and overpaid columnist whose every word betrays his elite biases and reactionary centrist agenda." Help us, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
To help address rising public skepticism of higher education, Yale is launching a new program that will expand access to the transformative work of universities.

Started by President Maurie McInnis, the Presidential Senior Fellowship will bring to campus experts to foster respectful debate and bridge the academy with society at large. As part of this effort, author and columnist David Brooks will join the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs as a Presidential Senior Fellow starting February 1.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I am done with the "good" straight white men. Anti-Zionist Jews march against genocide. US citizens get arrested in support of undocumented migrants. White folks protest against racist police. WHERE ARE THE GOOD MEN? Why aren't they out in the streets against this regime's grotesque misogyny?

No one should be surprised that TX Dems know how to boldly confront abuses of state power. The so-called red states are home to the fiercest, most experienced warriors for democracy. Abandoned and scorned by "blue" state white elites, they are the unsung heroes of the resistance.

I urge Massachusetts legislators to go to Louisiana and see Ms Ozturk in person. (Camp out on the doorstep!) They need to show that MA's elected officials are personally committed to stopping secret police from kidnapping and incarcerating any of us when we speak up against wrongdoing.

Urgent question for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social , @blumenthal.senate.gov, @delauro.house.gov. Why am not seeing your name on this letter? As a 2nd generation Holocaust survivor, I was raised that snatching people off the street for their views or ethnicity is ALWAYS wrong. Your silence terrifies me.
But for some reason, just 34 Democrats in the Senate and the House have signed on to a letter demanding answers about the arrest of Tufts University doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk in Massachusetts and other international students who have had their legal
immigration status swiftly revoked 
without due process and now face deportation.

We’re going to spend the next 4 years seeing normal, everyday people do more to stand up to lawlessness and fascism than all the institutions of power and privilege. And if we get through this, all the leaders of those institutions will clap each other in the back and say what a good job they did.

Authoritarianism progressively worsens, but there are hinge points, moments where the necessary reach of cruelty can be met with focused resistance. We’re in one of those moments. We can band together, take collective action, and change the paradigm. The consequences of not doing it are immense.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.
ADL on X: This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.

It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.

In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

Just a friendly reminder that when you propose the blue states secede, you are helping the Confederacy finally win the war. Most red states stopped operating as democracies years ago, and ache to finally be free of all US laws protecting workers, Black folks, queers, women, and children.
