It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. So, I come to you today with a question: If someone told you that their chicken tasted too chickeny would you know what they meant? #chicken #question #food #opinion

Worth mentioning that the Nazification of universities was a pretty key part of the rise of the Nazi Party.

One of the things that was nakedly clear post-January 6, and which Democrats largely failed to confront, is that the basic norms and institutions of liberal democracy are too far eroded to protect through normal modes of engagement like voting and calling legislators.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

No matter where we come from or what we believe, all students deserve the freedom to express their identities and feel safe in their classrooms. On #WorldHijabDay, we honor the courage and resilience of Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab, often in the face of discrimination.

Too many left-of-center politicians and institutions are unwilling to come to grips with the reality that when the state, courts, and law are weaponized against you, the only way to fight involves a willingness to break the law.

Let’s be clear: the president and his oligarchs have chosen to freeze federal funds for any federal assistance programs. This means the people who claim to be pro-life are certainly not. This move is one that could cause children to starve. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. #gross #fascism
