You could have had student debt forgiveness, an economy that is the envy of the world, climate action, a middle class tax cut, affordable child care & so much more had you elected the brilliant Black Asian Female candidate and a Democratic Congress. Instead you get recession, tyranny and misery.

The thing is, there is no secret “client list.” There’s never been any real evidence that such a thing exists. But his followers just fundamentally won’t believe that, and Bondi won’t say it, so every time they don’t release it, they keep digging a hole.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

One of the worst effects of successive govts' rhetoric on Higher Ed is that it's 'training for a job'. So 18yos get themselves (and are pressured) onto narrow technical courses. Yet employers are crying out for ppl who can read, think, write, speak! I've never met an employer who said different.

Pretty chilling point made in a brief filed this afternoon on behalf of Cathy Harris, the Merit Systems Protection Board member who was erroneously fired by Trump.
