Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/ANL4FL0m

Eight Things You Can Do to Stop ICE Defend your community from ICE! A guide and handout to print and distribute.

Eight Things You Can Do to Stop ICE. It’s heartbreaking what’s happening in Massachusetts. The police tackled a 16 year old girl to the ground knocking her unconscious. The police colluded with ICE when called.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.

I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Star Wars Intro Scroll

Episode IV
It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

A man on a hill with a light saber looking at the silhouettes of 4 incoming TIE fighters against the sun.

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark…

Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Judge rules Tufts student's detention case to be heard in Vermont, not Louisiana U.S. District Judge Denise Casper agreed with Öztürk's attorneys that a transfer to Vermont was warranted because that's where ICE agents had taken her at the time of that filing.

Her research is on the subject of childhood trauma. I pray she gets to return to her work and home in Somerville, but am devastated at her treatment by “authorities.”

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Once 3.5% peacefully protest, change is inevitable.

Trump appeals order reinstating fired NLRB member, judge tells him 'president is not a king' Gwynne Wilcox was the first National Labor Relations Board member ever fired. A judge said Trump does not have the power to fire board members 'at will.'

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.

This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful.

Keep up the fight.
