Trump, who said last year that he had “saved” historically Black colleges, has canceled $140 million in grants to them since March. Agencies told HBCUs “to change the language in grant applications that explicitly focus on Black people — or lose federal funding.” www.chronicle.com/article/hbcu...

this is a segregationist administration and it is wild to me that there is any resistance to this straightforward observation

Jim Ryan should not even consider this demand. The playbook here is becoming very clear. The Trump administration would like all universities to be led by weak interim and/or newly appointed leaders who will have even less ability to hold their stakeholders together and resist government demands.

I'm appalled. FWIW, Gillibrand is chair of the DSCC this cycle, so if you want to help Dems flip the Senate blue but *don't* want her being involved in deciding where your money goes, you can donate DIRECTLY to the actual eventual nominees here: secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

What badass investigative reporter is going undercover with one of these ICE goon squads? This is, like, THE story right now. Who trains? What rules of engagement? What propaganda do they consume? How do they recruit, and weed out non-sadists? Would they follow orders to shoot regime enemies?

I'd be going to jail. ... ICE tried this at my parish in San Jose 20 years ago. I had the SJPD there in 5 minutes to escort them from the property. But I don't know if LE in San Bernardino would support the rule of law.
