Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

Whew! Sen Chuck Grassley’s town hall should be a wake-up call for Trump & Republicans. Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it. This is Iowa!

Mayor Adams' legal defense trust, which he has used to pay for legal bills during his corruption case, is more than $3 million in the hole after he didn't receive a single donation in the latest period between Jan. 1 and March 31, per a new filing that just dropped.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

We need to stop making concessions to the right bc right-wingers get mad. There’s this big effort to rewrite school closures. Even in ostensibly liberal media, we get solemnly acknowledgments that schools were closed too long. Not bc of data, but bc right wingers screamed about it long enough.

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

This is an absolutely essential point to make. So important. Don't let anyone get away with just counting EOs and marveling at the number of "initiatives." Focus on the authoritarian project that is being pursued here.

Despite what you’ve probably heard, Trump’s immigration agenda isn’t actually popular. While Americans sometimes approve of “the way he is handling immigration” in abstract, they are very negative on the details. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-imm...

Gallup [Apr 15] -- At the end of the first 100 days, more than 1-in-4 Americans -- a plurality of 27% -- believe the biggest problem facing US is now bad government compared to just 19% for economy, and 14% immigration (Note: trans issues didn't even make the list). @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Sometime soon Trump & his thugs will start revoking the passports of American citizens. There's plenty of precedent for it. Ask W.E.B. Du Bois. Ask Paul Robeson. Then we were in hysterics about communism. Now we're suppressing pro-Palestinian speech & any criticism of Israel.

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death. Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.
