Yes, this is a good moment for invoking the 25th *and* for Congress to remember the War Powers Act.

Alas.

Yep.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.

The only principles they care about are "fuck you i got mine," & whatever lets them physically & systemically degrade those they deem "other" while letting those they deem "like them" do whatever they want.

"Hypocrisy"— flouting norms they demand others adhere to— enacts/reifies their will to power

Want to get back at that prof who gave you an A- on an exam? Or maybe you don't think people of color or women should be professors?

Make up a story about antisemitism, plop it into an anonymous student evaluation, and watch as your prof's life is upturned faster than you can spell "fascism."

wtf

It's Heritage *and* hate

Trump Administration Puts New Chokehold on Billions in Health-Research Funding The National Institutes of Health can’t award grants to outside researchers under a new White House restriction.

Oh my god, Russell Vought is a straight up sociopath. There is no rationale for this than a profound sadism. And this man calls himself a Christian. Like Torquemada I guess. How did he get to be so damaged? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

the republican party is a criminal conspiracy against the american republic

I don't want to sugarcoat anything but it bears acknowledging loudly that day in & day out, despite literally everything, scholars keep researching, writing, & publishing work that, in ways big & small, implicit & explicit, via its sheer existence, is a defiant F U to the current administration.

Help Us Report on How the Department of Education Is Handling Civil Rights Cases Have you recently filed a civil rights complaint or do you have a pending case? We need your help to get a full picture of how the dismantling of the Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, par...

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Education Dept. can carry out mass firings it began in March. So I'm here to remind you that we're continuing to report on changes at ED, including to its civil rights division. If you have been affected, we're listening: www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

This footage is bone-chilling. An occupying army rolling down the streets, traveling in fatigues and military vehicles with mounted guns. Imagine your family was in this park and having to explain to your child why dozens of heavily armed men, some on horseback, rounded you up like a human fox hunt.

Gonna have to expand the Supreme Court to 18 judges and pack it with 10 35 year old liberals to undo all the damage the Roberts court has done.

The total amount of public land that Trump wants to make available for sale is equivalent to more than TWICE the size of CALIFORNIA.

All to pay for tax cuts to some of the richest people in world history.

I just think that a newspaper should tell the truth instead of playing politics.

Is this not what happened, though?

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

Not great that all of the descriptions of someone “impersonating” law enforcement are just descriptions of what law enforcement are currently doing in our streets

Is anyone shocked the first American detained by the Marines is a Black man?

Yeah me neither.

I think a lot about this credentialing question without good language for it (spoiler Dr. Cottom has the analysis + words). SES, race, gender expression, clothing/hair (the drag of class/geography) (It took me years to get the class/geography drag - now I can't unsee it.)

Mass deportation = Eugenics
Eliminating science from Dept of Health = Eugenics
Eliminating vaccines = Eugenics
Cutting Medicaid = Eugenics
Cutting Social Security = Eugenics
Eliminating medical research = Eugenics
Targeting LGBTQ = Eugenics
Scrubbing contributions by minorities = Eugenics

EUGENICS

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights "If we don't put a line in the sand here, other agencies will try and do the same.”

The Department of Energy is trying to get rid of accessibility requirements for new construction via rulemaking. This unprecedented move, which seems to be illegal, could be the blueprint for other federal agencies to follow. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance As President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Everything that yoy see is a lie. Trump is curating enthusiasm. It’s all a show for his ego and to give the appearance that he has the support of people he doesnt! www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement.

Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

We feed you.
They hunt us.
