By the way, we should never be surprised when media companies like Paramount, Disney, Facebook, or any of the rest of them cave to this would-be-Authoritarian.

Their ethos is money, not free speech.
Their path is convenience, not character.

I thought we were supposed to get rid of cancel culture, not put it on steroids. #kimmel #colbert

Education Dept. warns schools: Eliminate DEI programs or lose funding The department sent a letter to state leaders threatening the loss of funds for K-12 schools that don't follow its interpretation of civil rights laws.

This is garbage. Programs that celebrate diversity, pursue equity, and promote inclusion don't discriminate or violate Title VI. It's a straw man argument.

Two Transgender Girls, Six Federal Agencies. How Trump Is Trying to Pressure Maine Into Obedience. Maine said it wouldn’t break state law to follow President Donald Trump’s order barring transgender girls from playing girls’ sports. Then came a barrage of investigations and threats targeting the…

“The president is trying to crush the opposition. He’s trying to crush Maine,” civil rights attorney David Webbert said.

To him, it’s as if Trump is saying: “‘Maine believes in transgender rights? Well, you’re going to see what happens to you.’”

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

Extra funding for 100s of PA districts at risk. See if yours could be affected. Pennsylvania Republicans push back on Gov. Shapiro’s school funding plan, questioning the “adequacy gap” formula.

We will really need to fight for fair funding in this budget.

Reach out to your state rep and state senator today to make sure they know that education funding matters for pa students.

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

How it started How it's going

Al Green stood up. Would like to see more people stand up.

This says it all.

President Zelenskyy was the only adult in the room, and definitely the only true leader.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

To President Zekenskyy and the people of Ukraine: we are so very sorry.

The flushing of public investment, of talent, and of trustworthiness is breathtakingly inefficient.

It's like burning down the house because you need to make some updates.

It is so much quicker to destroy than build, and we will be paying for this for generations.

#DOGE #Trump

I think this is a list of companies who have somehow complied with Trump's agenda, right?
I honestly believe we need to be more targeted in order for it to be effective.

I think we need a well coordinated #boycott of companies owned (in whole or in part) by #Musk, #Trump, and their high ranking political loyalists.

Is anyone aware of research and organizing being done related to that?

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The cards.

I said this just this morning- we are turning into the bad guys.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

LETTER: Why public education matters: Preserving democracy We must protect and strengthen our public schools and ensure that each and every child has access to a quality education.

Public education is foundational for maintaining a free country. To quote Thomas Jefferson, “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”

Cuban has it right in this one statement!!

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Welp… less than 1 day later…

Leadership! 🎪

What are you even doing @fetterman.senate.gov ?
It's time to stand up for the people you went to DC to serve.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Chaos is a feature, not a bug, with this administration.

Yeah... so this is America. We don't 'tow the line'. And we don't abide tyrants and bullies. Crap like this only activates us.
