“Hundreds of protesters, including students, professors & even the mayor of Cambridge, braved the cold to protest against the Trump administration’s threat to cut Harvard’s funding. At a packed park in Cambridge, Mass., they called on the university to lead the charge against the government’s crackdown on higher education.”
“‘Harvard possesses not just the resources to withstand the pressure,” said Mayor Denise Simmons, “but the moral obligation to do so.’” #resist nytimes.com/2025/04/12/us/poli…

Harvard Professors Sue Trump Administration Over Threat to Federal Funds

The administration is reviewing about $9 billion in federal funding that the university receives.

They want to tell you the boycotts don’t work…except Target has already lost over 16 billion since they trashed DEI. Walmart stores are empty & while I can’t find figures on losses…truth will out eventually. And Tesla alone has lost over 750 Billion.
People aren’t flying to US.
Keep up the good work people. You may not see the results published and they may say it doesn’t work, but it clearly does.

Performed in an amazing #concert for #ImmigrantJustice last night, with the proceeds going to an organization that supports refugees new to the area. The one song I thought Jo's service dog would freak at, she handeled pretty darn well. I had to use my cane throughout the concert, which was a new experience for me, but it helped a lot. I get to sing with the group again come April 6, when we'll be singing for a service with a visiting speaker, so that will be an awesome close-out on this chapter of my experience with #JusticeChoir of the Midwest, and then at some point we'll be doing an LGBT justice concert for the fall. There's also hopefully going to be an LGBT+ choir meeting in May to perform for Pride in June, and I'm hopeful to get involved with that.
I am tired today, but it was so entirely worth it that while I know I need to rest, I have a damn good reason, which makes that easier. I plan to spend the day probably listening to some Star Trek episodes, maybe just sitting in stillness a bit, basically just generally taking it easy.

“I’ve got a visa, I’m fine”

“I’ve got a green card, I don’t need to worry”

“I’m white so they won’t care”

The current U.S. regime has embraced fascism. No one is safe.

Stand up for the marginalized people most at risk. It’s the right thing to do, and sooner than later you will be the target

Understand that they’re conditioning people to accept the unacceptable. They’re starting with trans people, Palestinians and disabled people because they know most people will look the other way.

When you look the other way in the face of evil, it changes you.

Do not comply. Resist now.

Rep. #AlGreen (D-Texas) stood up & shook his cane at #Trump & told him, “You don’t have a mandate!” Republicans almost immediately drowned him out with “USA, USA, USA” chants.

Mike Johnson just had security remove Re Green.

FYI for the resistance. #Resist #Amazon #Coup
Edit: I personally do not use Amazon, but thought other people might be interested in sharing this with family and friends. I got a lot of judgey replies here like oh if you were really on our side you wouldn't be using Amazon in the first place. Yes, cancelling Prime would be ideal and I mention that to my friends who still use it, but I try not to be a jerk. If you are trying to persuade people to your side--don't be a jerk.
Amazon purchasing blackout March 7-14

Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.

The crowd laughed & cheered.

The Anglican Church revoked his license.

This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.

Considering how many organizations excused Musk’s salute as an “awkward gesture”, I’m incredibly grateful to see the church taking a strong stand against hate

My wife and many of her friends are sociologists. She forwarded me this text that one of her friends found. Apparently it was also written by a sociologist. I found it helpful. Maybe you will too.

"As a sociologist, I need to tell you that your being overwhelmed is the goal.
1/ The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits.
2/ Media theorist McLuhan predicted this: When humans face information overload, they become passive and disengaged. The rapid-fire executive orders create a cognitive bottleneck, making it nearly impossible for citizens and media to thoroughly analyze any single policy.
3/ Agenda-setting theory explains the strategy: When multiple major policies compete for attention simultaneously, it fragments public discourse. Traditional media can't keep up with the pace, leading to superficial coverage.
The result? Weakened democratic oversight and reduced public engagement.
What now?
1/ Set boundaries: Pick 2-3 key issues you deeply care about and focus your attention there. You can't track everything - that's by design. Impact comes from sustained focus, not scattered awareness.
2/ Use aggregators & experts: Find trusted analysts who do the heavy lifting of synthesis. Look for those explaining patterns, not just events.
3/ Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is the point. When you recognize this, you regain some power. Take breaks. Process. This is a marathon.
4/ Practice going slow: Wait 48hrs before reacting to new policies. The urgent clouds the important. Initial reporting often misses context
5/ Build community: Share the cognitive load. Different people track different issues. Network intelligence beats individual overload.
Remember: They want you scattered. Your focus is resistance.”

While I don't love linking to Threads, I think it's important to give credit where credit is due.
