‘Only Nazis ban books’: on the frontlines with students fighting Trump over higher education Documentary First They Came for My College goes inside the fight for academic freedom at Florida’s New College

"Only Nazis burn books." The gripping new documentary, "First They Came For My College," documents how this tiny FL school of just 700 students became a battleground in the Trump administration’s assault on higher education.

Powerful message from @booker4ky.bsky.social! As a diabetic, he has had to ration his insulin to put food on the table. Americans are going thru this too bc billionaires & corrupt politicians care more about profits than you. Let’s vote this man into office bc KY deserves someone to fight for you.

Trump and GOP cowards are destroying our country—our economy, our health, our alliances, our future, our sanity.

The U.S. labor market lost 92,000 jobs in February

The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4% says new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Stop them.
November is our chance.

Rep. Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate former DHS Secretary Noem on Shield of Americas appointment, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie. She'll go down in history as the worst Secretary since the creation of DHS after 9/11."

Democrat’s plan would eliminate federal income taxes for half of U.S. workers Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

Some good news… We’ve been advocating for a working class tax cut like this-getting money into working families people’s pockets. I’m glad that it’s moving with leadership from Sen Van Hollen. Working people need a break- and this is a fantastic way to do it.

When we stop seeing our neighbors as precious, it becomes a lot easier to explain away their oppression. Our protest is an expression of neighborly love. When we see each other, show up for each other, protect each other… we resist.

Kids with full bellies who are not worried about their next meal can dedicate that energy to learning while in classes. For some children, the only real meal that they get is what they are served at school during the school day. The FatCat GOP & their billionaire buds never have had to worry that.

So we just deny people medical care and make them suffer horrendously?

Or wander sightless in freezing temperatures?

Until they die?

Because they are brown?

Pretty sure if Jesus comes back, it’s not looking good for y’all

Fox: "Noem faced fallout over ICE deportation campaign in MN, public statements that she made and then, this week, her testimony on Capitol Hill. Her $200 million ad campaign featuring her on horseback, claiming that the president, had approved of that, reportedly upset him." #sheshed

CNN on Noem: "This is a huge deal, Boris. This is the first time he is firing a cabinet member. He's been very reluctant term to fire, shuffle any of his staff, any of his officials because of perception of his first term when he was in office, that it a revolving door." #sheshed

American stranded in the Middle East:

When we got the alert the first day, I did call the embassy. I wasn't able to get through. That was a little disconcerting. We had pretty much already arranged everything ourselves by the time the State Department started getting organized. #Sheshed

Demoting Kristi Noem isn’t accountability. She oversaw an agency that abused its power, terrorized citizens, and sowed distrust in our communities. This change isn’t a substitute for real justice and real reform.

I believe in the strength of the family.

I also believe that your family need not look like mine in order to be deemed valid and strong.

#SouthCarolina needs to be a place where family bonds can grow strong, free from government interference and discrimination.
