FINALLY a great American institution stands up to Trump! Give them a shout of thanks at their general email address. Info@DCE.Harvard.edu or better yet, melt down their phone lines sending in thanks! 617-495-1000 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...
Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands
Federal officials said they would freeze the money after Harvard said it would not submit to requests to overhaul hiring and report international students who break rules.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Holy shit!
The most serious Nazi shit in this extremely Nazi shit executive order may be the idea, just slipped in there, that one of the "divisive narratives that distort our shared history" is that "race is not a biological reality but a social construct." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

So our federal government is now ok with segregation again. You segregate your workforce? Fine with Trump et al. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

If you're furious at Dems who are not fighting, help the Dems who are.

We're going up against Elon Musk and the GOP machine in Wisconsin on April 1.

Throw yourself into electing Susan Crawford and beating Brad Schimel—and you'll send a message to the whole country.

Has everyone seen this? These students of color received a chance to play with the Marine band. But Trump claimed "DEI" & the concert was canceled. If you watch this & are not moved to fight for American ideals like equality, rule of law, civil rights, you have no soul. youtu.be/lhwS06U1SnA?...

This is the news we should be following...Hungarians are rising up against Orban. Serbians are rising up. This signals a world becoming sick of right wing authoritarianism.
A massive demonstration took place in Budapest today against Viktor Orbán’s pro-Russia regime in Hungary

Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: “The spring is here, the spring of the Hungarians, and we, together, will end Orbán’s winter.”

This is what the Nazi freaks are doing. Removing real heroes from the depart of defense history pages because of their skin color and saying that the medals they received were DEI medals. Fuck these people.
"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

It's so weirdly ironic that Boston, home to the start of the first revolution, is becoming home to the start of the second as well. Good on ya!
EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

I can't vote in their election. But I CAN send her campaign some money. These are the kind of people we need to support to defeat the fascists.
BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico.

She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.

And there it is. Why is crazy associated so often with racism? Because the things these racists think ...are crazy.
taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

I didn't post about it yesterday, but it was the 60th anniversary of our flag 🇨🇦

Last month, we were sucker punched by our biggest friend and ally. That act as angered us like never before.

When even very vocal separatist Quebecers proudly sing the Canadian Anthem, you know someone fucked up.

"Red White and Blueland"? Did they pick this name after a first grade contest and this was the winner? Nah, first graders are more creative. Had to be MAGA. Probably Marjorie Taylor Greene. And coming up with this probably took her hours.

President Musk leaves his young son in the care of his male nanny while he takes press questions.
February 12, 2025 at 4:09 AM
Correction. ALL of the things you say Musk will be lies. Not simply "incorrect". Lies. But I love it that you are making Trump sit there, all intimidated and quiet. In his own office. That is almost worth hearing your bullshit.
We’re done here. Right?

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!
