💡..sharing MK “disappearing”, honoring the courage of those who speak out.. collective awareness & action are mandatory in holding perpetrators accountable, preventing further erosion of civil liberties😢🤬🇺🇸

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Copy of early 1940s cartoon by Dr. Seuss satirizing the American First movement. Updated 6/22/2018. For me now the twin horror comes to the fore, not only of the lack of empathy inherent in othering children but in the instruction of that behavior to youths. Hate is taught. Education unlearns it.

“.. and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones… but those were Foreign Children and it didn’t really matter.” Updated Dr.Seuss cartoon by altLofC 6/22/2018, grandmother seated reading story to two children. Boy is wearing a MAGA hat, the girl looks worried. The grandmother is wearing a red sweater that says America first. The book is titled Don the wolf. The book originally was Adolf the wolf and there was no cap on the boy, otherwise it remains unchanged.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

One was fired by email at 12:47 a.m. Another wept as security escorted her from the office. A third frantically tried to fill a prescription after she got a 24-hour notice that her health care was ending. These workers are grappling with the Trump administration’s war on the federal bureaucracy.

Federal Workers Grapple With Trump’s War on Bureaucracy

One thing lost in the Trump administration’s war on the federal bureaucracy is the collective voice of the employees. But some have begun to speak out.

There is no doubt about it that he is reckless. No one can move this fast on a state of affairs without consequences. Change takes time to be successful in the real world.

A highly recommended read for this moment in history. I listened to the audiobook on Libby. It was only 2-hours long, but I will be purchasing a hard copy - it requires rereading with a highlighter and note-taking. Any suggestions for a private bookstore who ships that I can order it from?
