Boston. Wow.

"There's no shortage of reasons these days to be angry or afraid. But look around you right now and you'll see tens of thousands of reasons to keep the faith and keep going. This is the America we know to be possible."

—Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston No Kings Rally 🚫👑 #NoKings

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

No to Kings.

Judge Immergut wrote, “…this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power— to the detriment of this nation.”

Protest.

A year ago in October, I was able to go to Boston’s MFA and see the amazing Art of Protest exhibit. I snapped this photo hoping I would never need to share it.

Now Trump has called in the National Guard from Texas, defied Judge Immergut’s order, and is moving further into Portland and Chicago.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Rest in peace, Dr. Jane Goodall💚

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics.
Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

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.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

In Boston…This is what democracy looks like #handsoff

Trump Fires Nearly the Entire Civil Rights Branch of D.H.S. The move guts the office responsible for oversight over President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

They're only banned if you let them be banned. The proper response from any agency is "Fuck you. See you in court." All of this website scrubbing and exhibit purging is cowardly and disgraceful. As Timothy Snyder has observed, it's simply teaching power what it can do.

Trump on “Truth Social”: “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump tonight: “I brought back free speech in America. It’s back.”

Trump this morning:

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

A few people have shared this here today, so I thought I’d post it.

📌ADVICE: When in doubt, ask yourself what John Lewis would have done.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
