Proud of Harvard for pushing back, exercising some creativity, and, maybe, helping folks get some needed education.

Harvard is making many of their online government courses FREE.

I just signed up for "Citizen Politics in America".

They even asked me my Gender.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

The Trump administration’s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and America’s future. My latest

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33%

Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

Naturally-derived & synthetic versions of a chemical are the same chemical.

Ex: formaldehyde, formula CH₂O.

TRACE levels in some vaccines, <50 micrograms (µg) per dose.

YOUR BODY makes 42,520,000 µg formaldehyde a day. (1.5 oz, 850,000-times more than a vaccine).

It’s the SAME formaldehyde.

The difference in leadership could not be more stark. As bad as Trump and JD treated him the other day, I think Zelinski outfoxed them. I think he knew or suspected what was going to happen and he let it. It revealed much to the world about the true nature of the Trump administration.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Write/Call the Republican representatives and let them have it. Too many people think that just because they are not in The same party that they seem to not have access. Look, they took the job to represent EVERYONE.

Flood them with disdain for what is happening to our country! Fire Musk now!

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.
