If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

I love Bernie and am so glad he’s doing this -especially because someone needs to. BUT. We need some inspiring new leaders to step up and start doing this work ASAP. Much as I love Bernie, he can’t carry the whole revolution on his back.

Vaccines are good, actually.

I said EXACTLY this would happen. Authoritarian economies typically begin to fail because of chaos, corruption, oligarchy, and destruction of the civil service. But even I didn’t expect it to be this quick.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe

Stop underestimating them

some helpful reminders:

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Wow.

Today it's Palestine, tomorrow it's "gender ideology", the next day it's the Luigi Mangione meme you liked on Instagram

The French are the masters at protest and resistance.

Wow, this is absolutely bonkers.

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

ADL twitter statement offering support for wildly unconstitutional action to detain and strip status from a green card holder for pro-Palestine protests

BRB, checking the history books to find out whether “tyrant starts redefining peoples’ citizenship status” usually ends well for the Jews

I’m so glad people are doing this!

Oxymorons.

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

This is good

Dear world: Please keep shaming and humiliating them!

Who wants to bet the 2028 LA Olympics will be another boycotted Olympics? Only this time it won’t be Russia and its allies doing the boycotting. It’ll be all the countries who have been our allies for the past century. And we will deserve it.

Do not comply in advance. Appeasing these people is impossible. You only succeed in moving back the goalposts.

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

WTF?!

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

WTF?!

The only reason to attend the orange asshole’s speech tonight is to disrupt it. Members of Congress should stand up, yell questions, and openly and loudly boo him. Stop playing by the rules against a fascist. They killed decorum a long time ago. Set the example we need and get your asses arrested!

We are WAY under reacting. #GeneralStrike
