BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

In uptown Charlotte, NC, 100+ construction workers - who were building housing for North Carolinians - were chased down & detained.

Question for your MAGA neighbors...Who benefits from this?

"These hardworking individuals are TAXPAYERS, whether they're illegally here or not!"

The NYT’s coverage choices and placement choices actively harm American science and future cancer cures for all of us.

Limiting the salience of the anti-Trump, pro-democracy, pro-science efforts is a boost for anti-science efforts.
I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

In McAllen, TX yesterday, we had 200 people protest with last minute organization. We're hoping to build momentum. Many of us are in US district 15, and Monica de la Cruz is not willing to have a town hall. I know @betoorourke.bsky.social is doing town halls in Texas. How would we reach out?

OMG. They're saying the quiet parts out loud. I'm pretty sure this isn't what the voters were looking for. What an asshole.

“Bending the knee and precomplying will not stave off these attacks.

Acquiescing to censorship will not stop the threats.

Only engaging in collective, bold, public, strategic struggle & disruption has the potential to do so.

We did not pick this fight, but this is the fight that we are in.”
Letter to Faculty on Self-Censorship and Boldness (opinion)
In a letter to fellow faculty, Nolan L. Cabrera argues that self-censorship is not a strategy for self-preservation.

We need Democratic leaders to put us to work fighting this shit! DOGE declared this guy dead, and stole his money. He is very much alive in Seattle!!! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
I found a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Social media teams use tools to engage in “social listening” so they can assess how their brand is doing. They can track mentions (negative, positive, neutral)…

Is @schumer.senate.gov’s social team listening?

Call him, tag him, let him know to vote NO.

Preach!!!
As a proud Jewish American, I say NEVER AGAIN. The ADL’s disgraceful, repugnant claim that a Nazi salute was “just an awkward gesture” is a betrayal of its mission. This capitulation emboldens hate. We must stand firm against antisemitism and extremism, even when the ADL abandons its duty.

Our son and son-in-love are in Japan for 3-5 years. I hope their rights are intact when they return to the US.🙏
When we asked readers if they had money-related questions in the wake of the presidential election, several gay couples wrote with concerns about whether they and their finances may face new risks under a second Trump administration. Here’s a look at what’s at stake.

Didn’t Speaker Johnson assure everyone Sunday that only criminal undocumented immigrants will be deported? Guys, I think he wasn’t being honest…
