This is just the latest example of the Trump regime’s growing authoritarianism, using any tool they can to rip away our rights and push an agenda too extreme to pass through Congress. We’re fighting back by launching One Million Rising to demand freedom, justice, and reproductive rights for all.

Since 2011 or so, Hungary has been what is known as a “hybrid regime”—not a totalitarian dictatorship, but not a real democracy, either. Is the same thing happening in the U.S.?

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants
the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever
they aren’t going into universities’ endowments
they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy
Harvard & others must counter this quickly
The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.
