When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

International Women's Day has become a day I approach trepidation--waiting to see Ipsos's annual poll.

This year's results don't curb my anxieties. 53% of men globally (47% of US men) agree that efforts toward gender equality have gone so far they're hurting men. And young men agree most of all.🧵1/

Essentially, Reagan gave us distrust in government, plus trickle-down economics, plus precarity, plus scapegoats. And those things together are what gave us Tr#mp. 6/

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history.

And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

To President Zelensky, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelensky,

Dear President Zelensky,

As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.

I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Trump is a monster and a shameful smudge on American history.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.”

I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

pushback works, part infinity:

No one will be surprised but I've been watching www.youth.gov website spin as it tries in vain to load the content of a (former) government resource. It once promoted healthy youth and anti-radicalization resources for families and educators.
Gone.

In Germany they are protesting the far right, in the US 🤷🏻‍♀️.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Started sobbing in a coffee shop this morning as I re-read the EO targeting K-12 teachers and schooling. After taking a few moments, I wiped my face, opened up slides for today's class, & continued the work. Not only the work of preparing future educators but the work of resistance #ProtectYourPeace

The courage and wisdom being shown by defiant federal employees is inspiring.

Look to the sparrow.

The resistance to this madness will come in the form of everyday people doing what is right.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Educators once again are needed to protect children from our government.
Let that sink in.
