Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

Also, it’s completely insane that an administration that obsesses about trade deficits has set about to destroy the significant comparative advantage the United States has in higher education.

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The likelihood that the newly elected pope has consumed a Chicago style hot dog is not zero. And that means something.

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.

The new Pope is the total opposite of Donald Trump. Pope Leo is a decent, moral man, defender of social justice and fluent in English.

I think it's rather fitting and beautiful that Pope Leo XIV is confirmed as a White Sox fan. A true advocate for the downtrodden.

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...
