The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

Have any of the White House reporters even attempted to ask the Trump administration why it keeps saying that Abrego Garcia is in the domestic custody of a foreign sovereign when all evidence suggests that El Salvador is holding him on behalf of the United States pursuant to a contract?

Harvard standing up to Trump is a big deal and the Trump admin is acting like it. Harvard has resources, and others will follow their lead (in either direction). As @gregsargent.bsky.social and @jonathanfriedman.com argue, stop buying that Team Trump wants every fight. They want weak acquiescence.

Academic historian friends: One way to resist what is happening to our friends in public history--at museums, historic sites, libraries, etc.-- is to offer to support their efforts by sharing your expertise in person or online for free. Doing so helps educate teachers, students, & your neighbors.

This disturbing article abt Musk's eugenicism never once addresses his false claim of a global population decline-or that he wants only more WHITE kids. Instead it ventriloquises w/o Q his nonsense: "Musk has warned that 'civilization is going to crumble' if people don’t start having more children,"

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Working through these documents sent to grantees who had NEH grants terminated. So bizarre. They're like the Nigerian Prince version of grant terminations. They're not even sent from a government email but rather a onmicrosoft dot com address. So the Microsoft equivalent of a gmail account.

Stepford Barbie probably heard someone speculate as to whether Abrega was picked up because of a traffic violation (not necessarily true either) &this was her conclusion! Her malevolence exceeds her intelligence in exponential ways. I keep expecting to see the metal springs pop out of her ear.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

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.

Courage is contagious. Many hesitate to stick their necks out, fearing they'll get targeted, and be on their own. But there's strength in numbers, and when some stand up, especially the biggest ones best able to defend themselves, then others will too.

This is what judges should be doing right now. If the Trump administration is going to insist that it can’t bring back anyone once they’re removed, then federal judges should put the brakes on any and all removals until the full legal process—to ensure the removals are valid—has run its course.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
