@EliseStefanik You realize that defunding Harvard is actually bad for the Jewish students and faculty there, right? Or is the real goal to kill higher ed?

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

@NinaTotenberg Can we please stop using "pro life" - it's a misnomer.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

Where is Congress? Trump defied a federal judge and deported people without due process after already defying Congress in more ways than I can list here. Does Congress not care about losing their power and purpose?

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

Anyone who tells you the government is eliminating waste: no. they're eliminating programs that rich people aren't making money off of so rich people can make more money.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

This is a program that takes federal dollars and uses them to purchase fresh food directly from North Carolina farmers to offer to food bank customers.

The Trump-Musk White House decided they were unnecessary.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

The US is currently a country that targets, threatens, detains, and deports people for political speech. Where are the congresspeople who've spent years expounding on the importance of free speech?

[Dylan Williams @dylanotes]

If the dean of one of the country’s top journalism schools is advising students to self-censor because “nobody can protect you,” then we have already passed a major milestone on the road to authoritarianism.

nothing is working as well as it was 2 months ago (airlines, the economy, the government). republicans who used to want the govt out of things are singing absolute power over to a president who wants to control everything (private law firms, private universities). Terrifying.

[Talia Ben-Ora @taliaotg]

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

@DaniellaFodera @NIH @NICHD_NIH I am so sorry.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

@DHSgov Arresting people whose speech does not align with the President's is a violation of the first amendment. Speaking out in opposition to the ruling political party - speech and protest - are protected by the Constitution. This is illegal.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

@anaraintuitive @BenLeiker @danpjsheehan The fact that a green card holder can be detained and held in a location unknown to his wife and attorneys simply for organizing protests protected as free speech by our Constitution should be concerning to everyone.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

Here it is: the Republican party no longer supports free speech.

Imprisoning people who disagree with you is illegal, anti-American, in opposition to The Constitution, and is very much what dictators do.

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported

Is this administration actually cared about anti-semitism, they'd go after these guy and not universities

@JerryMoran, you spoke out about USAID. Now it's time to speak up for your 500k constituents whose lives depend on Medicaid. (Billionaires and corporations don't need another tax break.)

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

24% of Americans get their health insurance from Medicaid.

Seniors. Working families. Millions of kids.

Republicans voted tonight to burn Medicaid to the ground.

And for what? To fund a giant tax cut for their billionaire friends.

A moral abomination.

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

white people: if you're so fragile you can't handle amplifying the history and accomplishments of Black people in the US, do some self-reflection.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth2025 - time to learn about & and celebrate the history & accomplishments of Black people in America.

[O.J. Spivey @OJPhilly]

We've been doing Black History Month long before the feds wanted to recognize it and we will continue as usual. ❤️🖤💚

[Amy Stuber @amy_stuber_]

I haven't been posting here, but I have a new flash - about being young & in a new place (entirely unrelated to my current personal experience, as I'm old and in the same place!). Still, I hope you'll read it - thanks @Wigleaf 💚 https://t.co/SKUqggiRNW

If you know of anyone who might like a "funny," "humane," "sensitive," and "deeply satisfying" short story collection, I hope you'll consider gifting them my debut book, SAD GROWNUPS.
