The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

I’m reminded of the first 2012 debate where if you read Romney’s answers he is absolute shit, but all the press talked about was how “tired” the President of the United States seemed compared to a retired multimillionaire. Huh.

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.

If we want Trump’s 34 felony convictions to matter in this election, we have to tell voters loudly and repeatedly that it *should* matter in this election. Trump was charged with cheating in order to win the first time. That’s a big fucking deal.

I'll add just this: The feeling that the fascist leader is inevitable is a phantasm that they all prop up, in order to cow their opposition. You can't fight "inevitable." We don't have to prop up the myth. Trump isn't inevitable. He lost in 2020. He loses every time he stands trial.

No other nation has ever prosecuted a former leader, except for about half of them, so you can see why this is so outrageous.

Honestly shocked to consider that it was a stupid move to spend several years excoriating and alienating one of the most engaged constituencies in the country because they were middle-aged women and we had decided to hand the left over to 23-year-old podcasters who had glaring issues with their moms

This is a man who clearly wanted wealth and power all his life *because* it would enable him to coerce and abuse women and get away with it, so there is some cosmic justice in the fact that there’s consequences in both this case and the E. Jean Carroll case

I count six negotiated settlements of encampments so far. All of them (I think) commit the university to followup in the fall. Students win, admin wins, everyone gets to take the summer off before resuming.

WKCR reporting that 60-70 arrested last night are still awaiting arraignment, might be at night court (6p-1a) but otherwise would have to wait until tomorrow am. a WKCR reporter is there and will be all night. not great also that "it seems like very few" people have been released thru the day.

I just want to say that in 1993 I was part of a group of students who took over Wesleyan's administration building WHILE EVERYONE WAS STILL AT WORK IN IT to save need-blind admissions and I don't think anyone who showed up even had a pistol. This is the opposite of inevitable.

I don't remember that one, but I def remember the time President Chase was releasing his 5-year plan without any student input, direct to the Trustees, because I'm the one who leaked it to the Argus in advance. Another protested trustees meeting.

Oh hi Morgan! Class of 93 here. I was at that sit-in for need-blind! I also remember topless swim protests, and the year I was looking at schools there were huge Apartheid divestment protests, which is one of the ways I fell in love with Wes.

I think the erasure of Jewish Americans from the anti-genocide movement is one of the things that disturbs me most about the press coverage. Every protest I've seen, Jews have been visibly and vocally involved; but that doesn't fit the preferred narrative.
