*timpani roll* I'm so excited to be writing a book about what I was never taught in music history, for @harperbooks. Age I started playing violin: 7 Age I first played a piece of music by a woman: 27

New York public schools having more spine and strength than multibillion dollar Ivy League institutions… makes perfect sense actually. 💪🏽

Do not look away.

Israel has unilaterally shattered the ceasefire agreement, killing nearly 200 children in the span of a few hours. U.S. media must stop manufacturing consent for Israel's genocide. DO YOUR JOBS. @nytimes

finally some hopeful news along with tesla stock crashing 50% since december!!!!

BREAKING: Jewish Voice for Peace is leading a sit-in in the lobby of Trump tower to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil.

UChicago and Chicago, see you on the streets tomorrow. We are all in this together. We will protect each other.

On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a U.S. permanent resident and student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech and activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide

Department of Education targets SIXTY universities and colleges for "antisemitism."

In America today, working class people live, on average, 7 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Stress kills. In Altoona, Wisconsin this weekend I asked people how economic stress impacted their lives. The responses I got were painful, but not surprising.

Everyone should be shouting from the rooftops demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil. No one is safe in a nation where you can be disappeared for protesting. It won't end with immigrants on green cards. This is a system test. Soon enough, they'll find a way to come for you too.

Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.

This is a five alarm fire. The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk. Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway. #USA #Canada #tariffs @realDonaldTrump

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

"C'é sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon...". É la frase che accompagna il post del collettivo di studenti Cambiare rotta, in cui compare la foto di un fantoccio con la faccia di Elon Musk, appeso a testa in giù in piazzale Loreto a Milano. #ANSA https://t.co/DDs618CXCT

if trans people wanna comment surgery gofundmes, I’m gonna give away 10k in $500 increments until it’s gone, & if other people wanna scroll through and make donations, please do the government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves

.@AnnTelnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share. Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

HNY to me! New Thiel Foundation 990 (from 2023) just dropped. Always a fun way to follow Peter Thiel's interests. He's not a big giver (gave $4.3m in 2023), but even the small grants contain interesting clues about where his head is at. Thread! 🧵
