Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

There we go.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

There we go. Support this man.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Frank Zappa was a brilliant man born before his time 💯

President Zelensky: “It seems to me that the Vice President is somehow justifying Putin's actions”

Abraham Lincoln was shot 160 years ago today. In an era where we face threats to democratic government and the constitutional order, it helps to read Lincoln’s Cooper Union Address, a response to threats to democratic government and the constitutional order. Lincoln shows a spine and guts.

“There is no tariff policy. It’s all just chaos and corruption. That’s all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?”

Fantastic sign.

BREAKING: The man who authorities said scaled an iron security fence in the middle of the night and broke into the Pennsylvania governor's mansion where he set a fire had planned to beat Gov. Josh Shapiro with a hammer if he found him, according to court documents. apnews.com/article/josh...

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Reminder to Congress: Selling US Citizenships for $5 million is bribery, plain & simple, right out in the open. And bribery is an impeachable offense.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

Not towards, through. The crisis is now, not soon.

The Trump administration said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to "facilitate" his return to the United States.

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

When children and adults are killed by missiles, I do not understand why we cannot agree on additional Patriot systems, – President Zelenskyy during his interview with 60 minutes.

Nothing screams ‘out for myself’ more than Tories being found guilty of betting on knowledge gained from their job. Angela was right. Absolute scum.

Trump dismisses the Russia Palm Sunday terrorist attack on Ukraine's Sumy as just "a mistake", despite Russia double tapping on civilians and visibly celebrating the massacre online.

The UK & Cyprus have held a Bilateral Cooperation Event to increase opportunities to work together on space projects. Supported by the European Space Agency, members from both governments and from the space sector attended. This is another example of the UK repairing relations with the EU.

Who else AGREES with Max?! 🤚

He never misses an opportunity to not criticize Russia — even when they murder 35 people on Palm Sunday

I was reminded today: As Plato said ”Those who do not involve themselves with the affairs of their governments are doomed to be ruled by fools.”

I've seen at least 3 reposts of the latest Guardian speculative article quoting unnamed sources suggesting many Labour cabinet ministers may lose their seats at the next GE. Who the f*ck does this sort of crap help, step forward Mr Farage, well done the Guardian.
