What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

ICE’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is an unconstitutional and egregious violation of the First Amendment, and a frightening weaponization of immigration law. (1/4)

Very scary stuff. The government is acting as if due process does not exist, and they're doing it with impunity. Who is stopping them?

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

We lefties and libs need to stop focusing on blaming one another for a minute and focus on how to stomp the abomination that is the Trump/Musk administration. Maybe after that we can start taking pot shots at each other again. But in the meantime, Broad Front.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Am I having a stroke or did Trump just talk about the US “owning” Gaza? And maybe sending US troops?

submitted 118 days ago • 1054 comments

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

This may be Trump's Sudetenland moment (more than even Greenland or Panama). The world continues to abuse the Palestinians. Horrible.

I understand why so many folks were saying "Trump is not a god-emperor" after the election. But right now, he (and Elon) is certainly acting like one. And nobody, and no institution, is stopping him.

Think about where so much of our produce (not to mention many manufactured products, supply chain, etc.) comes from. These tariffs will inflict tremendous pain on workers and consumers, in the US as well as abroad.

This administration has decided - on the basis of genuine ideology or political expediency (not sure which is worse) - to turn the power of the state, as well as rhetoric (and the potential for violence, state-initiated or otherwise), against marginalized communities.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

Regardless, what a horrific tragedy for the families of all those involved.

One thing the US has done very well over the past 20+ years is almost eliminating commercial air crashes. Sadly, we may now be in an age where planes crash again.

The question that keeps me up at night is, given all of this unchecked, blatantly illegal action by the White House, what if any sway does the Constitution have, and if the answer is "the Constitution no longer matters" and we are that far off the map, what happens next and what do we do?

So far the war on so-called "DEI" - has come for - women at the CIA who want to get together and celebrate women spies - people at the Defense Intelligence Agency who want to observe...Holocaust Remembrance Day. - apparently, any federal celebration of...Black History Month.
