It's not discussed in all the stories. But a key feature of the revocation of student visas is that there's no notification. This has forced universities to do regular online reviews of current visas to see which have disappeared since the previous query. The lack of notification is by design.

Jackson, invoking Korematsu in her dissent: "At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record...We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

I feel like it should be a bigger controversy that the US SecDef doesn’t think germs are real than the fact he doesn’t think national security/security clearance is real. But that is because I know that the #1 killer of military service members - far and away - has always been infectious diseases.

I think focusing on current law versus current policy is getting it wrong. The key takeaway is Republicans are breaking the rules of the Senate so they can pass giant tax cuts for the rich while taking away health care from the sick and food from the needy. www.americanprogress.org/article/sena...

BREAKING: A federal court ruled the lawsuit of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Ph.D student detained for writing an op-ed, should proceed in Vermont — denying the Trump administration's motion to move the case to Louisiana. We will not stop fighting until Rümeysa is home.

SCOOP: You've heard about the NIH terminating grants. I've learned of another, less visible way it's disrupting science: It’s removing some applications from peer review. Not rejecting them, but putting them on hold without saying why or if they'll ever be reviewed. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

With ZERO media attention, on Saturday voters in Louisiana gave a stunning rebuke to the MAGA conservatism of Gov. Jeff Landry and his cruelty-is-the-point criminal justice. Voters lining up to stop America's right turn should terrify Team Trump. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

This is a reminder that you can oppose 1) antisemitism, 2) the Gaza genocide, 3) the October 7 attacks, and 4) the current assault on universities, at the same time, and with no contradiction.
