So proud of my community here! We had over 1000 attending our Indivisible Tompkins kickoff (both in-person and online). Such a show of strength and after the program, people stayed to connect around areas of action they'd like to join. Check us out: indivisibletompkins.org

Ryan speaks so well to this moment - how we the faculty have held our universities to a higher standard, how we can move them to right action by speaking loudly and together, and how universities will only continue to on the right side of history through our effort.
A lot of people have real fears. There are people on this campus who are going to lose jobs. There are people who are worried about losing their immigration status. We need to be here for those of us that are vulnerable. The most vulnerable people in our community have way more courage than me or most of the rest of us. But courageous people need our love and support too. Use our power to give that to them. We also have to use our power to keep insisting that Harvard do better. The administration did the right thing by standing up to external attacks on academic freedom. But we must remember that academic freedom at Harvard has also come under attack from within. We have had center directors dismissed, programs paused, and partnerships canceled. These are threats to academic freedom. If we sacrifice our soul in this fight against authoritarianism, we have done the bidding of the authoritarians for them. We all must hold each other and our leadership accountable to not let that happen. , you know, Harvard has been admired before. Before the American Civil War, there were thinkers here who said Harvard must stand on the side of abolitionism. And you know what? There were people who said that that position was wrong and we had to stay out of politics. And it took time but eventually Harvard stood for what was right. And before World War 2, there were people who said Harvard had to stay neutral in the face of fascism. But instead Harvard chose to take a stand. We see now that Harvard was on the right side of history and we can be proud. And in this moment too, we are on the right side of history. But there is going to be tremendous pressure not to be – both internally and externally. So, we must be in this struggle together. We must support each other. And if we can do that, then we will look back on what we did with pride.

Trump, Musk and Republicans have launched a full assault on Social Security, firing staff, closing field offices and making it harder for Americans to access their hard-earned benefits. We’re joining Social Security Works on Tuesday, the Social Security Day of Action, to (once again) say: Hands Off!
Hands off Social Security!
Social Security is facing the greatest threat of its nearly century-long existence. We have to fight back! Social Security Works is working to have as many rallies at Social Security offices as po...

& tell Schumer as leader to continue getting all Senate Democrats to hold the line!

Last night, 99% of House Republicans voted to codify the Trump-Musk coup.

Every Democrat except Rep. Golden stood united against this extreme MAGA spending bill.

Senate Democrats still have the power to stop this sham of a government funding bill by holding the line. Contact your senators ASAP. 👇
