Powerful words!

Stephen Miller just called the Democratic Party “the enemy.”

This isn’t just rhetoric, it’s the language that destroys our constitutional democratic republic.

Once one party is cast as illegitimate, elections become meaningless.

This is how democracies die.

Take this seriously.👇

As a result of our lawsuit against the Trump administration, we stopped the dismantling of AmeriCorps and $184 million will be restored for essential public services.
 
This is a major victory for the dedicated AmeriCorps volunteers and the people they serve every day.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

one young person told me: “I want people to know about what they did to Americorps. For many of us, this was our way to pay for college, to get away from home, to figure out what to do with our lives, it was a big step. And they just ripped it out from under us without even a 2-week’s notice.”

I am now operating on the assumption that there will be no new cures or treatments for existing diseases and ailments. All we will have for the foreseeable future is what we already got or in the pipeline. If anything new comes along, we are screwed, with no protection whatsoever.

Horseshoe crabs aren't actually crabs!? 🤯

Despite their name, these prehistoric arthropods are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than true crabs. They are also an invaluable research organism. 🦀

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
