Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Q: What distinguishes a prison from a concentration camp?

Today, the trump White House barred Associated Press reporters from attending an Oval Office event and he continues to state he will not return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. SCOTUS ruled against trump on both accounts. They gave him immunity and now he is using it. What did they think would happen?

Hernandez: This administration wants you to believe that the reason you can't buy eggs is because of your immigrant neighbor, they want you to blame trans folks for your troubles, blame unhoused people for the housing crisis. You know what I say to that? Bullshit.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

This is outrageous. Seniors, people with disabilities, and families shouldn't be forced to go to Elon's website to learn what's happening to their hard-earned benefits.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
