White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: "There will be no unilateral reduction in tariffs against China." As predicted, it was yet another pump and dump on the stock market. Endless market manipulation.

“Cowardice is contagious — so is courage.” “That’s what we’ve been seeing month after month... Starting with some people demonstrating courage, and then other people looking around and saying I can do that, too. It’s in my power. I’m not just a victim of world events.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social

The Trump regime aims to kill our democracy and people's rights & freedoms: free speech, free press, separation of powers, equity, public services, vaccines, & so much more. At our protest today in Chicago, we showed how we can fight back to save rights, freedoms, and lives! 📷 @pgoyette.bsky.social

Terrifying in a deep way. The US GOVT has been given the cell phones of Barnard staff who are Jewish or Israeli ostensibly asking if they’ve suffered from antisemitism. Again - using antisemitism as a weapon to do who knows what. I wouldn’t want my university or government having me on a list!

Trump appears to be saying that he alone can determine what our colleges can teach and what students can learn. This is a fundamental attack on free expression and free enterprise. It is a war on knowledge, and we will fight it. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

"After ICE abducted Khalil, Mahdawi sheltered in place for more than three weeks for fear of being picked up himself. Instead of taking him off the street, however, immigration authorities scheduled the citizenship test at the Colchester USCIS office and took Mahdawi into custody when he arrived."

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?
