seems like an opportune moment to tap the sign: a society that has any chance of defending itself has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authority figures

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

"In the program’s first year, students said they created their own DIY recording studio due to a lack of facilities. Other scholarship recipients went to great lengths to stay enrolled, like couch surfing for months, after they realized they were on the hook for housing and other fees."

Elon Musk promised he would eliminate the nearly $2 trillion budget deficit in year one. But DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals, Jonathan Chait writes. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit—by a lot. theatln.tc/HHz6dJrj

Two comments on the Luigi Mangione news. First, it's absurd DOJ is prosecuting this crime at all. New York could successfully prosecute it. But, New York doesn't have the death penalty, and DOJ loves few things more than bringing a capital case in a state without the death penalty.

It’s increasingly clear that universities are colluding with Trump, not surrendering to him. Many university leaders are eager to make the changes that Trump is demanding; in some cases they’re writing the demands. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Again, really want folk to see this throughline. Shipping abducted people defined as criminal to El Salvador to do hard labor is not singular but an extension of what U.S. criminal legal systems have always done and continue to do. 2020 protests upset them b/c more people than ever started realizing

worrying that years of “campuses are dangerous hotbeds of intolerance,” “students are the enemies of academic freedom,” type narratives have been useful in massaging the public so we will more readily accept that snatching and renditioning students for speech is okay

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

submitted 20 days ago • 179 comments

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.
