CUNY is the nation’s largest urban public university system and an engine of social mobility for the city's working class.
But like so many of our public institutions, Andrew Cuomo subject it to years of disinvestment and neglect as Governor. That record cannot be forgotten.

flummoxed to see a politician show compassion for trans people to a level like this.
and let’s be clear, this could be considered pretty basic stuff. but this is basic stuff trans people are told we’re not entitled to, and don’t get.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?
VOUGHT: I reject the assertion
MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Read what Reagan said about immigration and America just 36 years ago, and try to imagine any Republican saying it now. It’s become a gutter party.

We’re watching kids get snatched off the street almost everyday, a livestream of Gaza being slowly starved to death and the economy is in free fall, but it’s a ‘brutal’ time b/c telling white men not to be dickheads is a ‘crisis.’
Absurd doesn’t quite cover it.
This is delusional.

It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Kind of fucked up how many people are responding to this by pointing out all the reasons Harvard shouldn't use its resources to fight, none of which are valid excuses.
So many of you want to excuse capitulation to fascism. I'm blocking all of you.

Harvard has a $52 billion endowment. It can fucking stand up to Trump.
Some of the nation’s most prestigious universities have effectively appointed Trump as Provost. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

So basically we have (A) a fascist party and (B) a party that doesn't want to make too much of a fuss about the fascist party.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.
