Prominent Columbia University protest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents over the weekend. Today, scores of protesters took to the streets of New York in protest. Our @hurwitz.bsky.social and Najib Aminy were there ⬇️

True story...discussing current events and a teen states J.D. visited the political Alt-Right group in Germany. Another teen states, "You mean Neo Nazis" The kids know history. Don't lose hope.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

Interesting time for universities like mine to proudly declare their political neutrality. As the saying goes, you can pretend not to care about politics, but politics certainly cares about you. Now more than ever, universities need backbone—and leaders willing to stand up for them.

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

In his parting message @jimacosta.bsky.social said we should all post: I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. We understand the assignment, Jim. And fuck @cnn.com.

This is fine. We’re fine. Everything is fine.

Remember what the Bishop said

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

At a press avail, President Trump was asked about why he would ask NATO members to up their contribution to 5% of GDP when the US doesn't do that, and he said, "They're not protecting us, we're protecting them." The only time NATO invoked its mutual defense pact was after 9/11, to protect the US.
