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.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

A+ community note.

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain. She like so many others, is now broken

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal. You also can be sure this is not the only time.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Retweeting this for no particular reason @annecaprara.bsky.social

Sends a clear message that she likes traveling the world at taxpayer expense dressing up in various costumes for photo ops.

I hear people are calling his cars “Deplorians” these days.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Remember when the Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala Harris

The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

America is collapsing with the grace and dignity of a Denny's foreclosure in rural Missouri in which the owners just put whatever food is left out on the corner

The Commerce Secretary is promoting a company’s stock on live TV, and not just any company’s - the company owned by a ‘special government employee’ and the president’s biggest donor. The corruption is the point.

Police are investigating a report of fake ICE agents targeting a Ukrainian grocery store. An SUV with an “ICE” decal circled Sunday—then bolted when security showed up. These impostors are appearing nationwide,, preying on people already living in fear— in the shadows. It’s calculated and cruel.

Shot. Chaser.

Threatening to impeach judges who check your power is proof you need judges checking your power.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

Ridiculous.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

pretty good representation of the mask off era here

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”
