During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism.

Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with β€œPrager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

One of their β€œkids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was β€œno big deal” and β€œbetter than being killed.”

Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article) A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods
YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Wow! Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, had an opportunity & she took it.

Speaking directly to Trump/Vance, she advocates for the LGBT community & immigrants.

β€œThe vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They are good neighbours.”

The look on JD Vance’s face…

I usually do a "would you survive the great Depression" activity white they have to come up with a weekly food/supplies plan (without resulting in scurvy) for a famaily of 4. I have the worksheets and price lists if anyone wants.
