Worth noting that a number of universities have now sued over withheld and canceled grants, but no university has yet sued over the arrest, detention, and threatened deportation of its foreign students. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

🐳. I just finished Moby Dick and I have SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS. But they are the questions of a confused amateur, which would not contribute to a conversation with y’all professionals. Is there a rookie MD feed lol.

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

🧐 🧐 🧐 Language matters. Consider referring to yourself & others as *protectors* because we are protecting our country.

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

Trump sold a bunch of people into slavery in El Salvador—under false pretenses if that matters to you—and when a federal judge told him to reverse that, Trump unlawfully refused, and now the Supreme Court needs to give it a think; apparently they think selling kidnap victims into slavery has merit.
