This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Just in case you are wondering how far away we are from "then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me." (Spoiler: Not too far, by the sounds of it.)

Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads: "BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

Stage signage for the 2010 Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in Washington, D.C.

Do we need to get the #RallytoRestoreSanityandorFear going again? Side note: 15 years ago? Sheeeesh. #JonStewart #StephenColbert #JohnOliver

We should take comfort in knowing Hegseth was surely very composed (read: non-emotional) and non-empathetic (read: the cause of cultural decline) as he leaked classified information, though, right? </sarcasm> 🙄 🚪

How empathy came to be seen as a weakness in conservative circles There's a growing movement, among some conservatives, pushing back against traditional notions of empathy. What's behind it, and what might it mean, especially for Christian conservatives?

If you didn't walk away from this story outraged and ready to push back on the weaponization of empathy against womxn as leaders in this world, you might want to go listen again. #HandmaidsTale #MaleFragility

Maybe it’s just confirmation bias, but really feels like there is one of these every day.

@cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov (or @pattymurray.bsky.social 🤷) be sure to check those messages today! Your constituents want your attention and support to Vote No.

Calls finished. Less than 10 minutes. Half of that is dialing and waiting for the prompts. Make sure you call, too.

1000% agreed. I just heard this interview, and I was so thankful for and impressed by Michelle Martin. The Deputy Secretary should be embarrassed by his inability to answer questions directly and defend the Constitutional rights of citizens. #FirstAmendmnt #ShutItDown 🧠♀️🤩

Speak up. Hold elected representatives accountable. Make sure that person who was holding a microphone knows that volume and name-calling isn't power. Document. Share. This is not okay. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
