Une conférence de la Dre Joanne Liu annulée par NYU L'université de New York allègue que son contenu peut être perçu comme antisémite, mais Joanne Liu croit que NYU craint en fait de déplaire à Donald Trump.

NYU canceled a talk by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she intended to mention the high number of deaths of aid workers in Gaza, and Trump/Musk’s destruction of USAID. “Antisemitic” and “anti-governmental” to say this ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...

Hegseth is a DUI hire.

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

Trump administration rolls back restrictions on sharing migrant minor sponsors' immigration status The U.S. agency responsible for unaccompanied migrant minors will be allowed to share sponsors' immigration status with law enforcement agencies under a regulatory change, a move critics say could discourage families from claiming their children.

The Trump administration is tracking down children.

Six Short Thoughts on the Most Insane Trump Story of All Time Trump's "Team of Amateurs" Screwed Up in the Most Hilarious (and Troublesome) Way

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Originally from Germany, Fabian Schmidt was stopped on his way home from Luxembourg, questioned, and held in Rhode Island.

More reports of ICE harassing, detaining and in this case torturing a green card holder who has been here legally since 2008. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son. "Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

People's lives are being destroyed. Services we depend on aren't there anymore. The economy is teetering. Activists are getting disappeared.

THAT’S the plan.

Lying is their brand.

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.

Deport Musk now.

Get up, stand up.

The arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University's 2024 student encampment protests, is an authoritarian power-move, an assault on the US constitution and the first amendment.

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

Renaming the EU, Dismantling the Commission: For What Polish and Hungarian Illiberals Seek U.S. Backing - VSquare.org The Trump administration's most influential think tank, The Heritage Foundation, is receiving proposals from illiberal forces in Poland and Hungary on how to shape the future of the European Union.

As Americans we’re trained from childhood: 1) to believe in the primacy of individualism, and 2) to obey.

Neither helps us with the present moment.

We need to join together, figure out the collective action we must take for a democratic future, & disobey all things that interfere with just that.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

THANK YOU.

You totally rock. xo

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
