The irony of killing DEI programs because "merit" should be the sole deciding factor in everything, at the same time as wanting elite US universities to sign a "compact" where they would then get special treatment when it comes to awarding grants.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

SAFETY ALERT: S.C. confirms full-blown outbreak of measles South Carolina officially has a measles outbreak, even while Georgia deals with a cluster of cases as low vaccination rates in the region raise concerns.

Measles outbreak in South Carolina… all infected people are unvaccinated.

They can’t identify the source of the outbreak which points to rapid community spread.

This is what MAHA wants.

They want you sick and infected.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator.

Refuse to give up on public health:

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Not many voted for fascism. He disavowed Project 2025, which planned the current assault on democracy. People voted for a better economy, for secure borders, and for deporting undocumented immigrants who were violent criminals. Few voted for what we have.

One way to help: Call this a β€œbait and switch,” where Trump misled voters about what he would do. He said he would deport criminals, not law-abiding moms and dads. He said he’d never heard of Project 2025’s planned attack on democracy, and now he’s doing it.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
