In times of great stress and uncertainty, I take refuge in the Buddha, dharma and sangha. So I’m going to try to spread a little more lovingkindness and compassion today. It’s a dark day and there’s so much fear and stress. My heart breaks for everyone suffering today. May everyone be well.

NEW from PP: The Trump admin is blowing off Congress's Qs about ICE wrongly detaining Americans. More than a dozen lawmakers demanded answers. The admin has offered silence. “That’s not usual." said @normornstein.bsky.social. "Nothing about this is usual." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Maybe this is where big academia's resistance begins. Here's the Trump admin's fascist demand letter to Harvard: www.harvard.edu/research-fun... I was concerned Harvard was going to surrender, but Garber just responded: An unequivocal NO, even if it means losing $9 billion in research grants.

Wow. The letter Columbia should have submitted is now written by Harvard. They are refusing the Administrations' request. Let's hope all Universities in the US join this effort. Read the full letter from Harvard's lawyers. #BetterLateThanNever 👏 👏👏 www.harvard.edu/research-fun...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia needs to come home. The Supreme Court agrees. Why aren't they complying? 1. They don't want him to come back because that means others can too. 2. They don't want him to bear witness to the regime's crimes against humanity. 3. He's dead and they know. (Hope I'm wrong)

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

If it were you or I defying a judge’s order, we would have been declared in contempt and jailed sometime ago. I don’t know about you but I’m f’ing tired of the double standard on enforcement of the law. Wealth and power never gets treated the same. The stark unfairness is worth a revolution! 1789

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.
