Courage is contagious. #Harvard Have the day you deserve.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Welcome to Bluesky Mohamed ! If you don't know him, he is literally one of the smartest minds on international trade and economics !

Maybe it’s just me, but we’ve been in a Constitutional crisis ever since the orange felon plotted a seditious coup against the United States as well as committed espionage and wasn’t sent to jail, so him ignoring the Supreme Court is yet another lawless action taken by a tyrant.

This is the answer. Stand together.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Courage is contagious in the best possible way. 👏 Harvard 👏 Cornell 👏 MIT Keep going! Solidarity!

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

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.

Lobbyists desperate for more seasonal foreign worker visas held an event at Mar-a-Lago—noting the chance of meeting Trump in person—and a stay at Doral. Just days later the Trump administration raised the visa cap, and Trump’s own company took advantage of it, requesting its own foreign workers

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Did anyone notice that Buekele didn’t wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didn’t

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

The Trump administration knows that bringing Abrego Garcia back to U.S. soil—and then arguing he should again be removed to El Salvador—is a case they might lose.

[The arrested Harrisburg man] said he was “angry with the governor and would have beaten him with a hammer if confronted, according to an affidavit filed early Monday.” He has since been charged with attempted murder, aggravated arson, terrorism and other charges. www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/u...

Excited to join my dear colleague @katiephang.bsky.social tomorrow on MSNBC at noon ET. Tune-in!

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...
