NYU is so embarrassing
A principled student said in a grad speech that the “only appropriate thing to say in this moment” is to acknowledge the “atrocities” currently being committed in Palestine.

In response, NYU is withholding their diploma + apologizing to the community for the trauma the audience was “subjected to.”

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone except those who are committed to separating and destroying families all across the country and across the globe.

To those people, your mothers should be ashamed of you.

The world certainly is.

remember a decade or so ago when demographic experts and journalists would all be like, “by 2050, the United States will be a *majority-minority* nation….” they surely aren’t leading with that one anymore.

The news keeps referring to Trump’s war on DEI. I wish they’d say it more plainly.

This is Trump’s war against Black people, Latino people, Asian American people, Indigenous people, trans and gay people.

And like war, the intention is to kill us.

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

I can’t believe one of the most impactful sociologists of our time was taken away in an instant by some idiot driver racing through a pedestrian intersection. I hate 2025 so much. Rest in peace, Michael Burawoy. www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/04/o...

This tweet sent out 14 hours BEFORE the crash needs to be immortalized in stone.

Or on a plaque in every ATC tower.

Or on a disclaimer before every Mayday: Air Disaster episode.

Or on an Amber Alert type system to every American.

Or on a stamp.

Or maybe currency.

Something.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

AOC has been the only democratic leader who I feel has directly communicated with me on a consistent basis since Trump won the election.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The United States in a nutshell
The world’s worst people, doing the dumbest possible things, in control of the most powerful government on the planet.

when you say you're proud to be an american, does that include the americans who...

...are ripping parents away from their children?
...are actively funding genocide?
...are literally killing women by withholding reproductive rights? ...are trying to obliterate trans people?

just checking.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
