🚨NEW: Harvard University President Alan Garber has rejected the Trump Admin's demand to prohibit protests and cut DEI programs to receive funding: "[Harvard] will not negotiate over its independence or constitutional rights."
RETWEET to thank Garber for standing up to Trump!
When injustice rises, so do the people. At 80 years old, Lynne McFarland refused to be silenced, standing her ground against a bill that would deny education to immigrant children. Arrested for peacefully protesting in a Tennessee Senate hearing, she embodies the spirit of Good Trouble that John Lewis championed.
Patriotism isn’t just waving a flag—it’s standing up for what’s right. Tennessee lawmakers may have voted, but the people will be heard. Education is a right, not a privilege.

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?
“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.

Well, that backfired. 🤦🏻♀️
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried pushing Russian propaganda about "Ukrainian Nazis"—and got absolutely schooled by Dr. Timothy Snyder, a Holocaust historian and the leading U.S. expert on Ukrainian nationalism.
Facts matter. History matters. 🔥

As a result of our lawsuit and our continued pressure on and engagement with the Trump Administration, every dollar that we identified at the filing of our lawsuit is currently unfrozen and once again accessible to all Pennsylvania state agencies.
With the funding restored, we will now resume critical programs and infrastructure projects that have been jeopardized by this illegal freeze.
The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.
Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121
After 138 years, Edmond Dede’s Morgiane — the oldest known opera by a Black American — finally took the stage. A masterpiece buried by racism, now reclaiming its place in history. This is why we must preserve and honor Black art! 🎭
While sycophantic Black folks were busy skinning and grinning for photo ops at the White House, Donald Trump’s administration was gutting opportunities for Black students—suspending the 1890 National Scholars Program, a vital scholarship for HBCU students in agriculture and related fields. This is the same white supremacist who’s attacked DEI programs, threatened schools for teaching Black history, and now stripped financial support from underserved Black communities.
Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with someone actively working against Black progress isn’t empowerment—it’s betrayal.

30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.
