Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.
Who came up with the idea of ceasefire in Gaza? Students did. And they were punished for it. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

@marcelias.bsky.social can you help?
Spoken like a man found liable for sexual abuse.
This won't happen unless there is a Project 2026! Progressive Democrats must unseat useless Dems and win the US House, Senate, and state offices. Starting now.
Let that sink in for a sec.
Tracking Uddin v Elsevier et al., the landmark anti-trust class action lawsuit against academic publishers here: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69156...
Good summary here: www.kubiack.com/academic-pub...
Two headlines: from the NYTimes and Al Jazeera. "Netanyahu, Trump discuss forced transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza" and "Netanyahu releases letter nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize"
This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera.
You decide which is the important news.
“Americans should be able to drink their water & breathe their air without being poisoned. & if they aren’t, then our government is failing,” said Amelia H., an environmental protection specialist at the EPA on admin leave.

Sen. Raphael Warnock on the Republican budget bill: "This is Robin Hood in reverse. Socialism for the rich."
Don't want billionaires to get even richer at your expense?
Have a Republican senator?

Update on #NoKings livestreaming NOW at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECEb...
Handmade sign at the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. It says "Billionaires Are The Only Minority Ruining This Country"
This morning, people filled the sidewalks on both sides of the main street in Ardmore, PA for as far as my eyes could see. Joyful, peaceful protests! #Resist #MakeAmericaKindAgain #MakeAmericaThinkAgain #DueProcessForAll #ImmigrantsAreNotTheThreat #NoKings
Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.
"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.
Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
I know that we’ve had a month worth of further constitutional crises but Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in custody in El Salvador and that central crisis is a continuing fact.

Great news folks. Marco Rubio will not stand for the federal government or its agencies targeting institutions or organizations because of their political beliefs. That’s third-world stuff that can’t be allowed to happen here. You still believe all this, Marco, right? Right?
“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."
I believe that, despite the theoretically tricky politics of immigration, Democrats have a moral obligation to speak out against the illegal rendition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This is an argument we can win and here are my thoughts on how to win it: www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-dems-c...
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.
☎️: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!
Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.
One of our best security experts sums it up:
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

All we need for peace in Ukraine is for Russian soldiers to return to Russia.
