Millennials just screaming into the void - “what if we didn’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again”????

Exclusive | Elite Universities Form Private Collective to Resist Trump Administration Separate from the public dissent, a group of school leaders are strategizing behind the scenes about how to respond and push back against the White House.

Yes! Exactly. Exactly, exactly.

"The Trump administration has been worried schools would team up in resistance, because it is harder to negotiate with a united front..."

Canada's election results prove that Democrats in the United States have not emphasized identity politics ENOUGH

Not a single one.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Elder millennial who drank straight from the garden hose of recession after recession.

King penguins in the Australian territory of Heard Island in the Southern Ocean, which is on the Trump administration’s list of places facing punitive tariffs. The text reads, “Trump slapped tariffs on remote islands. One mainly home to penguins.” Photo by Matt Curnock for Getty Images.

President Trump announced far-reaching tariffs on most of the United States’ trading partners.

So far-reaching, in fact, that they include a remote Antarctic island group inhabited mainly by penguins — and a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean known for its polar bears. wapo.st/4lfaitV

Who could’ve guessed Trump would break the economy again

Yep

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

What a strange feeling... is that... joy?

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

Within about a 15-minute span Tennessee...

- Men's basketball beat Kentucky in the Sweet 16
- Baseball beat South Carolina on the road
- Softball beat Oklahoma on the road.

this is just bad political instincts, period. most people don't care either way on trans issues and continuing to bring it up (as opposed to fighting back hard when Republicans take away ppls' rights) only plays into the hoax that "Democrats need to stop talking so much about trans issues"

[“The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”]

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Donald Trump, in Michigan, on Nov 1st.

On Freedom is one of the most thought provoking texts I’ve read in a while & ultimately inspired my shift in scope & sequence of class. Looking for more text suggestions, if anyone out in the Sky has some. Themes of class - freedom, power, equality, & protest as we work thru civics content #booksky

And on to the next… #booksky

Finished Snyder’s latest today. His definition of freedom, as a positive concept, not just the removal of barriers, is something I’ll be thinking about for a long time going forward. Can’t wait to teach it next fall. #booksky

A graphic from the American Library Association's campaign, "Show Up for Our Libraries." It reads: "President Trump signs executive order gutting Institute of Museum and Library Services. By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted American institutions and the staff and services they offer."

all this so jeff bezos can have a tax cut and buy clothes that show his nipple

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

This is a great piece. One thing it’s important for folks to recognize is that the right has been working to whitewash the way US history is taught and publicly discussed for over a century now. What’s relatively new is how aggressively they’re using the power of the federal government to do it.

Musk cuts the team finding Ukrainian children stolen by Russia Trump’s federal cost-cutting - led by Elon Musk's Doge – has now hit the unit helping rescue Ukrainian children taken by Russia

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.

Now Im teaching hs kids how “great” our system is…shifting to prepare them for its failure & how to identify the cracks, how to respond. Next fall we’ll start with selections from these & others. Starting w On Freedom from @timothysnyder.bsky.social as we discuss founding ideals

In ‘19 I took a class on democratic erosion & participated in a culminating symposium in DC. I remember clearly comparing DT’s actions to Bolsonaro’s in Brazil. Profs leading discussion disagreed we could see the same kind of gov takeover 🙃 Started w Comey firing, the courts & SCOTUS, then AGs & DOJ

I want the names of the Dem consultants and campaign managers who told Tim Walz to stop cooking like this on the campaign trail last year.

They should never work in politics again. THIS is the energy we need.

They tortured him.
