“This is the Vichy moment. It’s a classic collaborationist dilemma. You can have preserved your school but you live in a sea of authoritarianism.” Wesleyan University President Michael Roth in @economist.com

NEWS: Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia call for their client to be brought back to Maryland — and for the government to be held in contempt for its failure to comply with the court's orders in the case. They also ask for discovery into the gov't's actions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

I continue to think this story deserves wall-to-wall coverage. (It's front page on WaPo right now, but the NYT's long story on this is now buried at the bottom of its US News section, and the LAT is running the AP story below "More Headlines" in its politics section.)

Mutual aid is not barter/equal exchange, and mutual aid is not charity, as a whole lot more seem to believe. Mutual aid is not a single act like donating to a fundraiser, it is a web of relationship that people enact with each other in an ongoing basis.
