The European federation of Academies of Sciences has posted a statement of concern about the developments in the US. They now have added the option to endorse this statement as an organisation in the website. Would be great if this could go viral. https://t.co/xXfRo7z5xe

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine.

It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice.

This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk illegally canceled scholarships for 185 University of St. Thomas students training to be special education teachers because they deem it as “DEI”. They want to use this money instead to give away more tax cuts to billionaires.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The first step in fighting back is understanding what we're up https://t.co/6uU060BS7s's time to say what this is — it's a coup.

Sheryl Crow says she has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR.

“My parents always said... you are who you hang out with.
There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.”

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured.

Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.” 

No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

The Palestinian people have suffered unbelievably.

>45,000 killed. >100,000 injured. Healthcare, educational system, housing— all destroyed.

Trump's response? Forcibly remove 2.2 million people from their homes and turn Gaza into a billionaires' paradise.

I don't think so.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Folks, this is a five alarm fire.

Congress must stop Trump and Elon's coup.

Call your rep now [phone]
