Too many of us were too quiet for too long.
Whatever fear prevented you from being heard is nothing compared to the fear you will now experience.
Hiding and appeasement do not work against the bully tyrant.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

No president has ever federalized the National Guard for purposes of responding to potential future civil unrest anywhere in the country. Preemptive deployment is literally the opposite of deployment as a last resort. It would be a shocking abuse of power and the law. 15/19

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Protest. Protest your heart out. Protest against what Trump has unleashed as loudly & proudly as you can. But PEACEFULLY. Always peacefully. If you riot, if you engage in violence, you destroy your message, the American people will turn against you, and you will only help Trump.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.
What an unbelievable asshole.

… and Molly is not alone. More than $2.6B of ongoing research has been canceled (with much more this week, at Harvard).
With each cancellation: We are losing so much knowledge. Losing the next generation of scientists. Losing our ability to protect our health, both now & for the future. 🧪🩺😷

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.
