I cancelled before the free trial ended. Fuck CBS

🚨 NEW: The Writers Guild of America is demanding an investigation into CBS’s firing of Stephen Colbert—calling out what could be a politically motivated takedown of one of late night’s sharpest voices.

Stand with truth. Stand with Colbert.
Retweet to show you’re not backing down.

Big Ten university faculties push for defense compact against Trump The proposed NATO-like alliance for the 18 schools would allow them to share resources in case the president targets one of their members.

"A burgeoning movement among Big Ten universities would create an alliance to counter government attacks on higher education"

BREAKING: A federal judge just ruled for our clients and blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a directive prohibiting schools from teaching or operating any programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We'll keep fighting until this directive is stopped for good.

US academic leaders unite against Trump's higher education policies Over 100 university, college and scholarly society presidents published a joint statement on Tuesday opposing the Trump administration's treatment of higher education institutions, coming together to speak out after Harvard University said the administration was threatening its independence.

Trump and DOGE want to slash the FDIC's workforce by 20%, leaving fewer watchdogs on the beat to police Wall Street misconduct.

Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts.

Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.

It’s about racism.

It’s about state terror.

It’s about dehumanization.

Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.

Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Congress has the power to stop this economic chaos right now.

Here’s the plan to end Trump’s game of red-light, green-light with worldwide tariffs:

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes.

More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

Yesterday was a teach in. We encourage everyone who attended a protest to reflect: what did you learn? How did you feel in the moment? Can you recreate this feeling in your own community, for your own passions? We know you can. You got this. We got this.

On Saturday, hundreds of local leaders and community members gathered in Palm Springs, CA to rally in support of Chuckwalla National Monument – led by the incredible @resistancerangers.bsky.social !

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

Seems wrong to use anti-protest laws to go into a church to bust up a meeting behind closed doors. First raid on Quakers in London in memory.

@london.gov.uk - have you any comment?

Thousands call for the release of Rumeysa Ozturk in Somerville, MA. The Tufts grad student was abducted by ICE last night after publishing an article that was critical of Israel.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.
