🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Pro-Palestinian rhetoric does NOT constitute material support for a terrorist organization. Criticism of the State of Israel does NOT constitute antisemitism.

This was always an attack on higher education writ large. It has nothing to do with fighting antisemitism. It is antisemitic. It has nothing to do, even with Gaza—but fascists see hitting Palestinians, inciting antisemitism, & duping those of my fellow Jews who are suckers as icing on the hate cake.

If this doesn't feel like fascism to you because things are still mostly normal at work and school and the vacation is still planned, congratulations you've just learned what fascism is like. It is insidious. It will initially target only the most vulnerable — people who probably aren't like you.

ICE can deport green card holders for engaging in and/or inciting terrorism. Trump will likely use this to justify the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil without a warrant They've chosen him as their first victim because the Dems are unlikely to defend him They're testing the water. They will do this again

I don't care how you feel about campus anti-Israel protests, or about antisemitism on campus. Fighting antisemitism cannot mean disappearing foreign citizens in the US on green cards for Wrongthink. It just cannot. Not in my name. Never. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

The choice of Columbia in particular shows that there's no amount of suppression of pro-Palestinian speech a university can engage in that will insulate and protect it; so might as well try to do the right thing, which Columbia has determinedly avoided since October 7. www.gsa.gov/about-us/new...

This (gift link) is scary / depressing on how fear of retaliation by Trump has silenced much of civil society, from business to law to the press to university leadership. Wesleyan president Michael Roth is a lonely profile in courage here, and makes me proud of my family's connection to Wesleyan.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.
