“Ketamine Klansman.” Solid.

Harvard > Trump

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

The white supremacy is the point.

Thank you to @alondra.bsky.social for her principled action and clear statement of why. What tragic destruction of our institutions.

A report from the scene of a horrifying kidnapping on the streets of Worcester, MA today by @billshaner.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/they-dont-ne...

J D VANCE “NOW REGRETS KILLING POPE,” INSIDER SAYS

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

"Judge Crawford… made a very brave decision to let me out," Mahdawi said. "And this is what justice is. And for anybody who's doubting justice, this is a light of hope, a hope and faith in the justice system in America."

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

I Can’t Believe Anyone Thinks Trump Actually Cares About Antisemitism www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/o... Thank you @michellegoldberg.bsky.social! Cld I add the quiet part? Jews are disproportionately in fields trump's targeting (university faculties medicine, law). He's targeting us disproportionately.

Jeff Bezos, you own these tariffs.

Three US citizen children, one with metastatic cancer, KIDNAPPED to Honduras. It’s not deportation when they’re citizens.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

UCLA folks: please sign the letter urging Chancellor Frenk to join 200+ university presidents in A Call for Constructive Engagement!

211 college and university presidents and counting…only one UC chancellor so far. Step up!

NEW: Venezuelan plaintiffs represented by ACLU ask Judge Boasberg for an IMMEDIATE emergency order to prevent apparently imminent deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. They say people have already been loaded onto buses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Ariela Gross, a UCLA law and history professor, also addressed the crowd. “We have a moral obligation ... the UC has a moral obligation” to defend students, she said.“

This is what all politicians should be doing.

I'm advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia

My first ever

LAPD just boarded our metro “to check Tap cards” and pulled a Black guy off the train. Just another day in LA on the way to protest ICE.

Positive outcome from Supreme Court: The Government must facilitate the return of Maryland man wrongly sent to El Salvador prison. Sets up Judge Boasberg to order same for detainees sent in defiance of his orders. Good judicial confrontation with lawlessness.

This is barbaric.

Law students, sign here

The termination of Sasha's grant was "an urgent priority for the administration" according to the letter he received.

Much honor and respect for these Jewish student protesters. We see you and thank you. ❤️

Proud to join 107 UCLA Law faculty in committing to our students to “support[] and defend[] you if you are targeted by threats or punishment for exercising your right to free expression or for your legal work.”

This is how it’s done, university presidents!

I am so proud of Chris Eisgruber.

Thank you, Senator Booker.
