The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

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

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.

Trump loves him some Hungary, a failing, small state in E Europe. It can foretell our future failure, if we allow it. My latest in reply: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-men...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Good for Harvard. They can still fall back on their other main source of income: Simpsons residuals.

Trump's regime is revoking student visas for minor offenses like speeding tickets. They're attacking documented people they don't like. This isn't about legality. What this Cheeto-flavored felon is doing is rooted in racism and anti-intellectualism. Everyone in America should be concerned right now.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

"First, Trump is perfectly willing to destroy the economy as he awaits political favors. After all, it’s not him suffering the consequences of a cratering economy. Second, while Tim Cook can afford to pay him off, it’s the mom & pop shops that can’t petition the king for carveouts being sacrificed."

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Another court order that Trump is now openly defying. Republicans in Congress assured us repeatedly that Trump would never defy a court order. It is obvious that he simply doesn’t care though after the Supreme Court gave him immunity.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
