A coalition of Jewish groups warns that the Trump administration stripping international students of visas under the guise of fighting antisemitism actually makes Jews less safe and undermines the rule of law.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Mohsen Mahdawi was unlawfully detained by ICE in Vermont today as he arrived to take his US citizenship test. “He came to this country hoping to be free to speak out about the atrocities he has witnessed, only to be punished for such speech.” [kottke.org]

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

My investigation of the white Christian nationalists looking to establish a community in Tennessee continues.

An official at the firm told The Bulwark that, as of this morning, 205 of the more than 400 signatories had attached their actual names to the letter. The others signed anonymously. The firm employs roughly 4,000 lawyers globally.

Listen - I did not need to know this much about the bond market. And yet here we are…. Everything he touches fails.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

I don't think much of the higher ed community realizes the extent to which international student enrollment is at risk right now. It seems crazy to think of nearly all international students being banned, but colleges and students need to prepare for that possibility.

Watching all the anti-anti’s freak out about the tariffs is a little funny, considering Trump absolutely said he was going to do this. I mean, the economy and the post-WW2 order might collapse, but at least you guys are sticking it to trans people, amirite?

Can someone show me where “executive orders” are in the Constitution?

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

I’m 26 years old and I’m running for Congress in an open seat special election!! We need new energy! I’ll make sure we’re one seat closer flipping the house so we can be a BRICK WALL to Trump’s anti-America agenda. Get one of our mugs so we can save our country and drink MAGA’s tears together!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

WTF, Chuck?!

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership
