Excited to share a personal project I've been working on. I've heard the best thing you can do for your country in tough times is use the skills you have. So I hope you'll subscribe, share and listen to Elbows Up, a podcast about how, exactly, Canada can be strong and free. Forever. lnk.to/AhF2DG

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

A preliminary budget draft leaked to the Washington Post outlines plans by the Trump administration to cut: - the NIH budget by 40% - the CDC budget by 44% - the HHS budget by 33% This will not make America healthy. It will make Americans sicker and more vulnerable to disease outbreaks.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Nine big law firms have committed to nearly $1 BILLION in "free" legal work for Trump in exchange for nothing more than the ability to keep doing the ordinary legal work they do. As he puts it, they "paid me." We've all been focused on the bribe; but pay attention to the war chest.

Yesterday I shared w/ my students their rights should ICE come on campus. "Of course," I said, "that's just the law." Here's a woman who knew her rights. They protected her twice, because she knew they needed a warrant. The third time ICE came, the agent said, "“I don’t need to show you the order."

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

A week ago, the Trump administration laid off thousands of people at HHS and its agencies. The cuts were so deep, and touched so much, we're still learning about the impacts. Here are a couple stories that have stood out to me. 1) @levfacher.bsky.social on the gutting of a pain-research office.

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport hundreds of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why. Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime. One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.
