He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time.

🪦 New Yorkers are in front of the New York Stock Exchange for a mass die-in to symbolize how these devastating cuts will destroy families & take lives.

Deep spending cuts to programs like healthcare, food assistance, and education is a matter of life & death for millions.

Congress: #StopTheCuts!

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Please give us your thoughts on why no single Democratic leader has emerged to solidly counter Trump/Musk. Yes, many are speaking up, Senator Sanders is doing an anti-oligarchy tour, but no one is standing up to be the face of and fighter for democracy.

Can we ask Chuck Schumer to not try to be the voice of the Dem. party? We need charisma, and we need relatable messaging. I fear Schumer has lost that. We need someone who is willing to fight on the points of fact. In short, we need you, Mr. Buttigieg.
