Not gonna lie, it's really good to see Obama saying not to capitulate and to lose your federal funds instead of doing fascism willingly. Too many organizations have been throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus to save their funding from Trump. They still lose their funding, I might add.

washingtonpost.comObama calls on citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Trump agendaIn a campus speech, the former president said universities should be prepared to lose federal funds to defend academic freedom, rather than be “intimidated.”

#HANDSOFF #NYC

Mor Naaman@informor.bsky.social

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

America is still racist as shit. Can’t believe she didn’t win 😒

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Holy shit--the tariffs are working. High-paying manufacturing firms are sprouting all over town. There's a little sapling industrial fabricator blooming in my backyard, offering $95k starting with a high school diploma. It looks so precious, glittering amongst the dew. The madman actually did it.

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

Remember when fucking ISIS went around destroying archeological artifacts in Iraq — you know, shit from Babylonia

WIRED@wired.com

The Trump administration, with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide. This threatens student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to digital library services.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Why is there even a White House Press Corp? Like being fed propaganda do they? Whatever happened to investigative journalism a la Woodward/Bernstein?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The White House Correspondents’ Association on Monday strongly objected to a reported plan for the White House to take over the process of determining where reporters sit in the briefing room.

LOCK HIM UP!

A new video released by Musk’s PAC could serve as further evidence that its massive cash giveaways constitute illegal vote buying. In the clip, a Wisconsin woman who won a $1 million prize explicitly links her winnings to following Musk’s instructions to vote.

Teen Vogue FTW. They’ve been killing it lately. @schumer.senate.gov if you really truly cared about the country over the party, you’d step down as minority leader.

The headline says it all... A former Schumer staffer, Leah Juliett, is sounding the alarm that Schumer's leadership has "left many young voters increasingly disaffected by politics and disconnected from a party that once felt aligned with our values." 1/ www.teenvogue.com/story/chuck-...

Those of us on the left need to abandon purity tests if we’re to form a resistance to save/restore the republic. We lost many a smart minds who also were firebrands

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

popular.infoHow the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting AmericansThe Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

You cowards! How the hell did you let a convicted felon even run for office?! His ass should be in prison right now, not golfing everyday on tax payer dime! @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She has been sentenced to 4 years in prison and banned from running for public office again. During her previous campaign she was friendly to the Kremlin but recently began to sour on them publicly.

It’s a new world order Why can’t evangelicals see that Trump is the very Antichrist like figure they warned us about in their Rapture fantasy?

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money: “My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”
