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.

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.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

LEADER JEFFRIES CHALLENGES MIKE JOHNSON TO DEBATE. If Mike Johnson wants to cut critical services like healthcare and social security for millions of people, he should stand in front of the American people and defend his budget.

Every American has the right to health care, period. If you’re sick, you should be able to go to the doctor without being worried about the cost.    Medicare for All is a solution for real change in our health care system. Thank you to everyone who is joining this fight.

We're sorry to people everywhere whose lives are now more tenuous, more violent, less safe, less secure than they had been before. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

This is what happens when everyone knows gramps shouldn't be driving but no one wants to take away his keys.

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

Raskin: Perhaps he could have yelled fore on the greenway so tens of millions of Americans could have taken our retirement savings out of the stock market before he hit us in the head with a golf ball

Congrats, Trumpers, in a few weeks you actually got the horrible economy you pretended we had under President Biden.
