as a jewish student at columbia i can say without a single doubt in my mind that mahmoud is one of the kindest, safest, most welcoming people i have ever encountered at this university. his presence brought an instant calm no matter how intense things were. #FreeMahmoudKhalil
The first victims of Trump’s trade war? Minnesotans struggling to pay their skyrocketing electric bill.
Minnesota cannot afford Trump’s billionaire-run economy. We have to put a stop to this madness.
My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare’s makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU.
Just had the best little quest ever. Someone left her phone in the airport bathroom, she was gone but it had her airline and departure time on the screen. Got to run up and down the terminal looking for her and found her hell yeah
Someone on tiktok pointed out theres more kids in Texas with measles than trans college athletes in all of America.
Guess which they want you focused on?
There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.
8 years ago I was "invited" to a mandatory #PIP assessment after returning the 80-page @DWPgovuk questionnaire with a post-it note saying "As I'm not a salamander my legs haven't grown back."
This is what happened next...
If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too.
Anyone - left, right, or center - who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.
Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism.
Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.
Trump forces Ohio University to cancel both their Black Alumni Reunion & Celebrate Women events.
40-year-old traditions have been canceled to comply with Trump's ban on so-called DEI initiatives.
The events bring in $2 million to the local economy—filling up hotels, restaurants and bars.
"I went from like wow... to disappointment... to rage," said board member Anthony Webb. "The reunions have been since the 80's and I've never missed one."
Trump's executive orders threaten to withhold any federal funding from schools that do not promote "patriotic" education.
"The University is obligated to protect our access to critical federal funding, including students’ continued access to federal financial aid," the Ohio University President said.
The Celebrate Women events had been scheduled for March 21, and the Black Alumni Reunion was set to start April 10.

For every $1 spent by the Parks, they produce $15 in economic activity. It is less than 0.067% of all federal spending.
Parks have a huge economic multiplier. They create platforms for substantial private sector activity (tourism, recreation businesses, etc.) while preserving public assets that appreciate in value over time. It's an incredible investment for the economy, and one we should keep.
Bill Nye at the Stand Up for Science rally in DC:
"What are you afraid of? What is it about the process of science, modern medicine, caring for our neighbors, or Women's History Month, that you all find so scary?"
