This is the whole point of what Stephen Miller is doing with Harvard & other schools. It’s not about protests, anti-semitism or anything else. It is their plan, many years in the making, to dismantle the US university system. Schools must unite & fight together, not individually.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine. We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

NEWS: ICE agents are camped outside immigration courts to arrest people after they've had their cases dismissed in court. Other agents spotted in AZ, CA, IL, MA, MD, TX. w/ @noahhurowitz.bsky.social & Jose Olivares theintercept.com/2025/05/21/i...

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Trump’s decision to ban Harvard University from enrolling international students as punishment for opposing him is like the behavior of an abusive husband toward his wife: he is systematically destroying her connection with the outside world.

Isn’t that absolutely horrible! Those scum!

Shenanigans are afoot in Portland's Old Town, City Council trims $2 million from cops' bloated budget, and baaaaad news for Christian Nationalists from the Supreme Court. 😂 It's GOOD MORNING, NEWS! 👋🗞️

This is some authoritarian shit. Noem said since Harvard won’t give her disciplinary records on students, she’s terminating their foreign exchange student program immediately, and ordered that foreign students must transfer to other schools or have visas revoked.

Each federal employee will soon receive a complimentary copy of Trump’s favorite book, Mein Kampf. Just kidding, it’s not free. The cost will be deducted from next month’s paycheck. Kidding again. Trump doesn’t read. The last book he picked up was Playboy when he was 16.

So glad I am Canadian and have a responsibility adult leading my country.🇨🇦

Today is World Press Freedom Day Reporters Without Borders have published the 2025 World Press Freedom Index. rsf.org/en/rsf-world... Among other stark conclusions, the Index finds that in 2025, less than 1% of the world's population lives in a country where press freedom is fully guaranteed.

Crockett is spot on as usual. I'm just frustrated beyond measure that only a small handful of Dem's are speaking out. The clock is ticking and every day someone is losing their rights. Take off the damn gloves and pull out the guns for FFS.

On this date in 2020, we lost World War II veteran & former DC government employee Leroy Tonic to COVID. We honored Mr. Tonic because his name was on our Wilson Building World War II memorial & our research revealed he still lived in the area. Read more: bit.ly/2xCj2Y2

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm — the first of several such orders — is unconstitutional and, accordingly, "null and void." Background at Law Dork on the original TRO in the case: www.lawdork.com/p/perkins-co...

Puppets…

Breaking: Louisiana has fallen. Segregation is back. Who else is looking forward to midterms?

About fucking time, after Thomas must be Alito. ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-...

BREAKING or whatever you say about shitty news NEA grants are being canceled left and right. At least three Bay Area arts nonprofits got termination emails today. www.kqed.org/arts/1397566...

Indoctrination.

The hospitality sector is a bit worried about tourism this summer

DJT is winning elections for liberal anti-DJT candidates around the world. He ran on hate. Others are too. Hatred of him.

Budgets are a statement of values. On chopping block: healthcare, school lunches, science grants, the arts, foreign aid. These people are moral monsters.

Columbia & Venezuela have sued the administration for human rights violations in the Internat'l Criminal Court. My friend: "I was watching some testimony from the prisoners that were returned to Venezuela and it's absolutely horrible what they are doing to them (in El Salvador)."

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

I’m not catholic but I find this wildly offensive

I always have this mental picture of him being a pigeon on a chessboard, knocking over the pieces and shitting on everything.
