Calling Trump's illegal, vindictive, and crazy effort to treat universities the way he does his contractors--by not paying what is owed, by disavowing contracts--as an "aggressive, ad hoc approach" is maddening not because it is false but because it is incomplete and soft pedals the danger.

“She started to realize that while the new right’s racism and misogyny were often delivered with an ironic smirk, it was no joke.” We’re going to see so many people “start to realize” it’s going to make your head spin.

This doesn't surprise me. Sociological research shows that discounting of girls' competence and commitment--and celebration of (especially White) boys' brilliance--starts in K-12 schools and ramps up in college/grad school. Girls see how they're treated and reasonably assume it won't get better.

This sums it up beautifully. No one wants to read a 17yo’s take on Pride and Prejudice. It’s not ‘content’. The writing process is the whole point.

Everyone is waiting on a potential Trump announcement on Pharma tariffs today, which would be madness. The chief executive of pharmaceutical company Nutriband tells the BBC “people are going to die", if the cost of treatment rises due to tariffs.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

NEW: Trump to USA: There is no rule of law. Today, Trump signaled he would not abide by court decisions and return to the US a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He won't even ask El Salvador to send him back. This is cruel & dangerous. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The top news from the visit for Fox is about trans people playing sports. Below that, they twice call Abrego Garcia, a man the government admitted in court it has no reason to remove and did so mistakenly, an "MS-13 leader."

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Exclusive: Days before masked ICE agents detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk to deport her, the State Department determined that the Trump administration had not produced any evidence showing that she engaged in antisemitic activities.

Here's my forecast of where the Trump tariff war will end up: He'll negotiate outcomes that are basically identical to the very low (and often zero) tariffs we already have. And declare that he's managed to negotiate low tariffs. Perhaps a political win, but definitely no economic gain.

I think the Ozturk case suggests that 1) yes, Canary is being used to ID students for deportation 2) someone in State is OVERRIDING evidentiary analyses (like the one WaPo reports that said there was no evidence against Ozturk) to sustain Canary "conclusions."

He's less free to say trans women are women (just like the rest of us). He's less free to say Free Palestine (just like the rest of us). He's less free to advocate diversity in his workplace (just like the rest of us). But he can't imagine wanting to use his speech for that in the first place.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

This could be any of us, citizens and non-citizen alike. If Trump can ship someone abroad and then claim the USG is powerless to get them back if they are in a sovereign country (despite a court order), what's to stop him sending you or me to El Salvador?
