What is political violence? Selling arms to Israel? Police murdering Black men? Destroying homeless encampments? Letting women die from miscarriage? Prisons? Tear gassing protesters? If these don't count, why not?

First they came for abortion.
Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care.
The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood.

🚨NEWS: A judge has ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk — the Tufts student illegally abducted and detained for exercising her First Amendment rights, saying "there is no evidence" she did anything wrong.
This is a victory for the rule of law.
These baseless abductions must STOP NOW.
4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

Your School House Rock moment......
Mohsen Mahdawi's release is an encouraging step in the fight to defend our constitutional rights to due process & free speech.
Now, the Administration must release Rümeysa Öztürk, Mahmoud Khalil, and everyone unjustly detained.
We have not forgotten about you & we will fight for your rights daily.
Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.
US protest for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Maryland who was kidnapped by Trump. #3E #EndImpunity
Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.
Louis CK still goes on comedy tours, Johnny Depp was forgiven by the vast majority of people, Bill Cosby got out of prison on a technicality, Cuomo is running for mayor of NYC, Trump is president for a second term, Jonathan Majors is being welcomed back into Hollywood, etc.
And this was WITH MeToo
🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.
Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.
Days before masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk to deport her, the State Department determined that the Trump administration had not produced any evidence showing that she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization, as the government has alleged. The finding, contained in a March memo that was described to The Washington Post, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not have sufficient grounds for revoking Ozturk’s visa under an authority empowering the top U.S. diplomat to safeguard the foreign policy interests of the United States.
Big scoop from John Hudson at the Washington Post on Rumeysa Ozturk and the State Department.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.
Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.
When the dust finally settles, they will own more.
The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
This!

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.
Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Important study yielding new insights into the deep roots of aspects of our communication system/#language— @berthetmelissa.bsky.social M. Surbeck and S. Townsend did great work to reveal semantic composition in vocal combinations in bonobos. 🧪 Out in @science.org :

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
Go out and cause some good trouble. Let's get back to our founding documents we must mutually pledge, it's not left or right its good or wrong
Madame President I yield the floor. - Corey Booker
Reminder: Don’t forget to vote today in WI and FL’s 1st & 6th districts!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

Update: The death toll from a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar jumped to more than 1,600 on Saturday as more bodies were pulled from the rubble of the scores of buildings that collapsed.
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
Yep
