“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond3…

@Allareblessed2 And libraries, museums, and disaster relief for communities affected by worsening weather events. And that's just a start.

I don't want Canada or Greenland. I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

@HWarlow Look up neighbor friendly fence design. We just built one and split the cost with our neighbor. Both sides are smooth and we agreed on the stain and built it jointly.

⭐️⭐️Help please⭐️⭐️. Our new neighbours have paid the gardener to erect a new fence.He was asked to put the plain panel to their side.Dr Stee says this is wrong and our side should be the plain one. On our side of fence our neighbours other side is plain and we have the struts

Donald Trump talked about making our military more lethal. Instead, he’s trying to wash away the accomplishments of the Navajo Code Talkers, who helped us win World War II. What a slap in the face to the Navajo community.

This is it, up until now our government had safety rails. They’re gone now. Trump is, without hyperbole, a lawless authoritarian. If he can defy this court order he can defy any court order. apnews.com/article/trump-…

@SenJeffMerkley The latest is the dismantling of IMLS. What can citizens do to stop this regime's assault?

You don’t stop a bully by giving him your lunch money, and you don’t stop tyrant Trump by giving him more power. The Republican CR is a blank check for Trump—we need to rip it up. I’m a HELL NO!

@sddonovan One file and a "cut text" file...

Serious question. When you write, do you have a separate file for each chapter (I do), or do you have one big file for the entire novel?

@AfricanArchives A somber anniversary. I included it in my nonfiction book in the hope that more young readers would learn about it and remember.

On this day in 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire. 21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape. A THREAD.

@SSCBookDiva Thank you! Public health workers and scientists are indeed heroes!

Post one of your favourite Trump-Zelensky memes below 👇 We will start first 😎

@ZelenskyyUa This is a photo of Sir Winston Churchill visiting the White House during the Second World War. He'd have been proud of you today Volodymyr.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design. But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

Cory Booker held the door for me today at Union Station. Gave me a smile and we both went our separate ways.... I'm not a Political person but I did appreciate a United States Senator holding the door for a dirty hiker on his way to hike The Appalachian Trail for the 3rd time. 😁
