I fear that what this first round with the Compact presages is the WH trying to claim that every university is going to need to sign the Compact or lose all federal funding.

It's an insane idea that will fail in court and alienate even more voters.

Which won't deter them at all.

🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics.

The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

Immigrants make America better. Period. It's not up for debate.

If I'm a Democratic politician, I'm out making this case every day, convincing voters. If it turns out that no matter what I say, my constituents still hate immigrants, I wouldn't pander. I'd lose the next election and move.

Corey Wiley on Twitter writes: "You don’t get it. Foundational immigration law is morally just and has been established over millennia. Disrespecting these rules and ideals is very offensive to folks who highly value civilized society"

Not true.

I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

We feed you.
They hunt us.

On D-Day eve, never forget when an American D-Day veteran showed praise and appreciation to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy last year, with Zelenskyy praising him back for his role in one of the most significant events in history, an event that was instrumental in saving the world. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🪖. #DDay

This interview is heartbreaking and infuriating. Her story captures so much of what can make small towns beautiful and also what makes this moment in our politics so dangerous and evil.

“Please protect me,” she says. I dare anyone to say “Carol” doesn’t deserve to stay here.

Who do we want to be?

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Stop complying in advance

This is high art

You are clear-eyed. Censorship is a safe assumption these days. I fear your prediction of his termination will be correct. Thank you for this important share.

When this presidency ends—and it will end—we need a Rooseveltian plan to not only undo the damage he did, but build bigger than we’ve ever built before.

Big universal programs and mandates. Pack the SCOTUS. Kill Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United v. FEC. New anti-trust laws aimed at Amazon. Etc.

Georgetown gets plenty of grief here over their rather "traditional" admission testing policies. Credit where credit's due: these new supports for their community exemplify the best of Jesuit values in the Ignatian tradition. 👏👏👏
