- It's tax season and I'm thinking of boycotting myself. Subsidizing state terror and the dismantling of democracy is a new level of ick.

- New at @washingtonpost.com: Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big
- ICE isn't retreating, it's just moving fronts. Keep yelling at cowards in Congress. If Schumer is true to form, he'll find a 'compromise' after the temporary block of DHS funding. There is no justifiable compromise with state terrorism. themainemonitor.org/missing-cong...
- Last night I attended the online training for potential ICE observers coordinated by the No Kings coalition and run by the ACLU. Nearly 70,000 attended. I teared up out of a weird mix of horror and hope. Video of the session is linked below -- share widely. www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

- Fellow academics -- consider signing this petition to urge college and university leaders to grow a backbone and fight back. It should not be so hard to assert our fundamental mission of free inquiry. Trumpsters don't admire cowards and I don't either. #academicsky bit.ly/DemocracyAnd...

- Reposted by Shannon Lee DawdyI know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
- Reposted by Shannon Lee Dawdyone thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

- Reposted by Shannon Lee DawdyYesterday I hired a woman lawyer to work on my will etc and shared that I like to preferentially hire & give money to other women because it’s a small act of resistance. She liked the idea and will be trying the same. Let’s spread the word and keep increasing the “she-conomy” and women’s wealth. 💵
