What is so terribly broken about the Democratic policy world that anyone thought tapping *Larry Summers* for future economic policy was a reasonable thing to do, rather than completely unhinged?
Any staffer that continues to work for the 8 cowards and Schumer should be black listed from every working within politics and there should be a list for donors so that they know who their politicians hired.
The historians, lawyers, and scholars I spoke with were in marked agreement that the current moment is not just comparable to but even more damaging than previous Red Scares. Within higher education, today’s crackdown is “worse than McCarthyism—much worse,” Ellen Schrecker, a historian and the author of No Ivory Tower: McCarthyism and the Universities, told me. Then, she explained, individual academics were scrutinized and fired for Communist ties. But today, the country is experiencing a “frontal attack on everything that has to do with universities and colleges,” Schrecker said. This assault on higher education is best understood as a means of destroying a locus of political opposition. With growing political polarization along educational lines, college-educated voters have become more likely to vote for the Democratic Party. Trump’s solution is an attempted dismantling of the institutions that helped produce these voters in the first place—and a symbolic attack on institutions of knowledge and expertise that are inherently at odds with Trump’s model of governance by know-nothingism.
Of the historians, lawyers, and scholars I spoke to while writing this, many said the same thing: What's happening now is worth than McCarthyism. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
I love a meme targeted for my demographic
Lol
If we want to free Palestine, we need to get rid of racism, fascism and imperialism tendencies in Europe. It's the only way.
As the climate continues to heat up, and Europe is facing a heat dome.. a reminder that kissing America's ass instead of moving on and making it irrelevant is causing this. America is the destroying the climate intentionally and trying to keep them in the conversation is destroying humanity.
The Sylvester Turner situation really stands alone.
1) SJL dies of cancer
2) Choice to replace her goes to district Dem precinct chairs
3) Chairs skip over a young Dem who challenged SJL and nominate the elderly ex-mayor who has cancer
Executive branch:

• Refuses to leave office & stages a bloody coup
• Floats terminating the Constitution
• More lawlessness
• Defies the Supreme Court
Legislative & judiciary branch allies: 🥳/🤷♂️

A crowd of ~1000 showed up in Walnut Creek, CA, to protest Musk, Trump, and Tesla. At the first protest a month ago, there were about 80.
Tesla Takedown!
No one elected Musk!
Keep up the pressure - Elon is losing wealth every second!
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH
This is what Tesla's stock price should be based on its revenue based valuation and outstanding shares. $15.19 a share. It's currently dropped down to $220 something. If it goes down to its real value, millions of pensions are ruined. #FAFO
so if I have this straight, the stock market hitting record highs under Biden was thanks to Trump, but the stock market tanking thanks to Trump's policies is Biden's fault. Do'kay!

The jailing of a Palestinian protester by ICE raises urgent concerns about universities’ role in suppressing pro-Palestine activism. Critics warn that by enabling such crackdowns, institutions risk undermining their own commitment to academic freedom.

Today is International Women’s Day. As a citizen of the United States, it’s hitting me hard that my daughter now has less rights than I did at her age.
But I also celebrate all the women who are fighting hard as hell to change that.

Might save a life.
A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.
This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful.
Keep up the fight.
The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.
