Robert Reich (@robertreich) Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS? It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think. Watch:

Brilliant. Please watch and share widely.

Robert Reich Thinks the Baby Boomers Blew It

I had the pleasure of speaking with David Marchese of The New York Times about my new memoir, 'Coming Up Short,' the state of American politics, and what it feels like to retire from teaching — my true calling for the past 40 years. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/m...

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based The Biggest Economic Lies We’re Told | Robert Reich

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Trump Is Calling Up National Guard Troops Under a Rarely Used Law

This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW.

If you’re not attending Trump’s military exploitation birthday party in DC you might want to consider joining one of the “No Kings” events happening across the country on June 14. My guest today @ezralevin.bsky.social from Indivisible explains how you can get involved.

Thanks so much, Susan. Very kind of you!

As a society, as leaders, as humans we need this reminder. Unfortunate but necessary.

Thank you @madhupai.bsky.social for initiating this timely and necessary reminder.
I am an international trainee (I have been in the US as well) and I am not your enemy.

2/2 I hope to return someday, but in the meantime, I will continue to advance the mission elsewhere! I’m privileged that I have opportunities to do so. Not everyone is so lucky. #standupforscience #globalhealth #equity

And for anyone wondering – NCI was my dream job. Working with some of the best scientists – most committed, dedicated, selfless, mission driven people I’ve ever met. It just became impossible to work on anything that really matters to me. 1/2

I’m heading into this next chapter with gratitude, inspiration, and a sense of possibility. In the near term, I’m thrilled to be consulting with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) followed by a six-month appointment as Provost’s Visiting Professor of Cancer Equity at Imperial College London!

It was a true privilege to work with such brilliant and compassionate colleagues. 2/3

May 9th was my last day at the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) / National Institutes of Health. The NCI Center for Global Health is a very special part of the NCI- where cutting-edge science meets a deep commitment to improving cancer outcomes for all people, everywhere. 1/3

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them.

They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather.

We cannot allow them to terrorize us.

Eyes open. Phones on.

Kudos to the brave federal scientist who is willing to be interviewed here in depth..

Sadly, I agree, 100% with everything in this piece.

I will say more after the end of next week.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Solidarity breeds courage.
