The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the United States government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from prison in El Salvador. Donald Trump is blatantly ignoring and denying the ruling. Yes, we are in a constitutional crisis.

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.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

The economic collapse will destroy the social safety net. States cannot deficit spend by law. As revenues nosedive, they'll be forced to cut back on education, healthcare, and vital programs. They'll also be more dependent on federal funding giving Trump more leverage.

The heterodox free speech argument was always a misnomer. They don’t give a flying fuck about freedom of speech. They were upset at things like the idea of trauma victims being able to pursue an education without psychological harm (trigger warnings) and setting their own boundaries (safe spaces)
