This excellent point illustrates how we need to let today's horrors shape tomorrow's reconstruction.

How do you pronounce "wicked smart" in a South Carolinian accent?

No one wants to hear this, but it’s true. Either we can value education β€” not for a select few but for anyone willing to put in the effort β€” and provide the requisite resources, or we can watch it become a pursuit available only to an elite minority, with everyone else getting a cheap facsimile

How will Trump’s attacks affect higher education?

Let’s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They haven’t

Even better is to fire them and then hire them back as consultants, for a much higher costs! Yes, that is definitely a thing here in DC.

I believe that Ds tried to ban partisan gerrymanders when they held Confressuonal majority, but they couldn’t get Sunena and Manchin to agree with a filibuster waiver.

About 12 Million Households Receive Both Medicaid and SNAP. The Reconciliation Bill Puts Them At Risk. Households that rely on both Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are spread throughout the country.

This needs to go viral!!! 🀬

An Oregon father who's a LEGAL immigrant was arrested by masked ICE agents outside his son's daycare. He came here THE CORRECT WAY & is married to an American woman.

They are snatching people off the streets exactly like Nazi Germany did! πŸš”

FIFA is considering moving the World Cup games to Canada in response to escalating fascism in the US.

Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit.

Refuse to normalize or reward fascism.

The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.

Victory in a battle. The war continues, but victories need acknowledgement and at least a fist bump.

How 7 immigrants came to the U.S. and ended up at Alligator Alcatraz Here’s what the detainees and their families and friends told us.

These stories are why we call them concentration camps.

It’s cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

It’s also a disability justice issue, as the conditions in these camps are perfect for causing rapid spread of disease and leading to disability.

No one should be treated this way /end

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

We have some good news in these dark times!

Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California.

I hope to see more releases and more families reunited.

Small steps lead to great victories.πŸ”₯

Please pass it on.
