Five things to remember about war:

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

No surprise there, of course.

Thinking of all the students and families applying to college, or registering for college, or attending college, who have no idea if they will have access to grants and loans. This is grotesquely destructive.

I guess it’s time we encourage all the good kids to go to law school. (Something I never thought I’d say.)

judges and lawyers: 🙌🏼

News is absolute shit but the earth (dear earth) is still beautiful.

I am hearing the same everywhere I turn. Devastating on so many fronts.

I believe this is called Speculative Presidenting. Which is fucking terrifying.

Speculative Presidenting

U.S. Arrests 2nd Person Tied to Pro-Palestinian Protests at Columbia The action came less than a week after Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia graduate and a prominent figure in campus demonstrations, was arrested.

A second person who took part in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University has been arrested by U.S. immigration agents after overstaying a student visa, federal officials said on Friday.

oh gosh, Lauren :)

Good Trouble: JD Vance Chastised by Vermont Snow Reporter JD Vance, fresh off of helping his boss ambush & insult a foreign leader in the White House yesterday afternoon, is on vacation in

We need to salute courage wherever it appears.

The official snow reporter at Vermont's Sugarbush, where JD Vance came on a skiing vacation this weekend, pointed out in her snow report this a.m. that the Trump team is ignoring climate change.

Her report was pulled down

Yes! I shop mostly at my local unionized food co-op. (Also not cheap but I supplement/grow food/buy from farmers/make do…I like knowing my money goes to my neighbors.)

Remind shoppers who they’re supporting (with their hard earned cash) w/ signs & protestors outside the doors.

Glad to hear! I hope that’s happening all over.

Reminder: WHOLE FOODS is owned by Amazon/Bezos. I bet the majority of their shoppers are dems. Boycott…forever!

Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

“Plans obtained by The Post show the office will maintain 50 employees to enforce discrimination law for veterans and workers with disabilities, but it will no longer be staffed to audit companies for pay and hiring disparities for women and minority workers.” Gift link wapo.st/43aVQg1

The economic boycott is a practice run. Let’s turn up the heat.

My only hope is that cutting Medicaid and Medicare and social security will permanently destroy the Republican party-their true colors finally revealed. But I don't want the suffering (so much suffering) it would take to get there. Can the threat be enough? We all have to spread the word that that's what this party is truly all about.

Nurture the hell out of the seeds of the future you want because they too are sprouting in the chaos.

My daughter is starting to look at colleges and we will be paying close attention to which schools support DEI, support trans students, and stand up to fascism and tyranny. I am sure we are not alone.

I was up north for a medical appointment so went to Still North Books & Bar and purchased these beauties. #thesebooksareantifascist

A quote from an article by Timothy Snyder titled "What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?" published in The New Yorker. The quote reads: "It is predictable ... that he will give free rein to the oligarchs who, he knows, will continue to generate the social and digital bases of a politics of us and them. It is predictable that, in returning to power, he will seek to change the system so that he can remain in power until death. It is predictable that he will use deportations to divide us, to accustom us to violence, and to make accomplices of us. It is predictable that he will create a cult out of the martyrs of January 6th. It is predictable that he will cooperate with similarly minded rulers abroad."

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

lol exactly

what the actual fuck (my posts will just be swears from now on)

have passports 🙏🏼

Which National Park will we each choose to defend?
