Anyone feel like helping me work on an $1800 rent need? We've got $138 already on the board. I'll chip in the $12 to make it an even $150. Can you chip in or share?
You can sign up to be connected to a rent need directly via the Adopt A Rent program OR you can barnraise with me by chipping in here on Bluesky. We completed or funded in full FOUR rents this way last night. V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Dm for Zelle www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
I’ve been saying this for months. The only way out of this mess is economic pain. It’s sad for all the people who actively voted and campaigned against this - especially the poorest and most vulnerable among us, but it’s the only way.
Trump voters are gonna have to feel pain, personal & economic pain, before they ever move off of him

Academics & others need to understand a few things. A 🧵 I) First, fascism is not inevitable. Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them. Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends. That why visible resistance matters. 1/
In addition to going through the website, I strongly encourage people to read the letter from Harvard's President, Dr. Garber. We need more scientific institutions to show this level of courage, no matter the risk. In fact, we need *all* institutions to stand up*. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

If they are so great, why announce them after the market is closed
CNBC reacts right after Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement: "And the market reaction after hours -- I’ve never seen anything like it. This -- I think, fair to say -- is worse than the worst-case scenario of the tariffs that many in the market expected the president to impose."
