If you’re looking for a good organization to support, @csldf.org does really good work, and has been an important resource for the climate community for decades.

Trump Administration Halts Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students

This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.

When you're dealing with a bully, you don't kiss the ring

Education is the foundation of democracy.

Now, more than ever, we must strengthenβ€”not weakenβ€”it.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The president is not a king.

The Constitution could not be clearer: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.

Donald Trump would rather fantasize about a fictional third term than do anything to lower costs for working families.

U.S. Has Spent $40 Million to Jail About 400 Migrants at GuantΓ‘namo The disclosure of the tab so far came after a visit by five senators to the offshore operation, who condemned it as a waste of resources.

The U.S. has spent $40 million to jail about 400 migrants at Guantanamo Bay

Early costs of the enterprise emerged over the weekend along with a statement from five senators who toured the base Friday and urged the Trump administration to β€œimmediately cease this misguided mission.”

The Trump admin just ripped away $418M in promised school fundingβ€”after it was already spent! This leaves MD schools $305M short for tutoring, mental health, & renovations. The notice came 3 mins after the deadline to fight back. We must demand accountability! #FundOurSchools #edusky

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

The Bird-Flu Tipping Point If and when it happens, we might not know until it’s too late.

Bird flu hasn’t affected most Americans beyond their egg consumption. But could that change?

Five years since the start of COVID, the U.S. is perhaps less prepared to deal with an outbreak than it was before the pandemic, Katie Wu tells Hanna Rosin:

Keeping With Kennedy’s Advice, Measles Patients Turn to Unproven Treatments In West Texas, some with severe illness have not been taken to a doctor until their conditions worsened, officials said.

Struggling to contain a raging measles epidemic in West Texas, public health officials increasingly worry that residents are relying on unproven remedies endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and postponing doctor visits until the illness has worsened.

White House may seek to slash NASA’s science budget by 50 percent β€œIt would be nothing short of an extinction-level event for space science.”…

"Losing this much money, this fast, has no precedence in NASA's history. It would force terrible decisions, including turning off scores of active, productive, irreplaceable missions, halting nearly all new mission development, and decimating the country's space science workforce." πŸ”­

Silencing protests is the first step toward the elimination of rights and protections for us all.

We stand with students for free speech and against any attempt to silence us. #ApathyIsNotAnOption

Linda McMahon made it through her confirmation to become Secretary of Education, but we are just getting started.

Weβ€”educators, parents, families, studentsβ€”will not let her dismantle the department and decimate public education without a fight.

Senate confirms McMahon to lead Education Department as Trump pushes to shut it down The Senate has voted to confirm former wrestling executive Linda McMahon as the nation’s education chief, a role that places her atop a department President Donald Trump has vowed to dismantle.

45 senatorsβ€”and millions of parents and educatorsβ€”said no to Linda McMahon's extreme anti-student agenda.

And we will keep saying no to her for as long as she tries to harm students and educators.
