Life on a Monday in August may seem normal enough. And yet the reality is "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." I so appreicate @maddow.msnbc.com describing the simple reality clearly. It does us no good to pretend it's not real. The only question is what we do about it.

"While some in Washington are making things harder, I’ve spent my time as attorney general focused on making life better for Nevada families."

I live in fear that Trump will deport my family. My six-year-old grandson is now a political pawn.

NEW: Felice's lives in fear that her family will be the victims of Trump's immigration policy.

Earlier this morning-- BEFORE coffee, I incorrectly attributed this letter to Prof Tribe.

Correction: article written & act of non-cooperation taken by Prof. Rashid Khalidi 👍

BREAKING!

Prof. Tribe refuses to teach fall course @ Columbia due to admin capitulation.

THIS is the ACTION we need to see from university faculty & students NATIONWIDE!

The URGENCY is NOW!

Follow @tribelaw.bsky.social

Super important move by esteemed Prof Tribe.

I’ve been hoping for this: without students & faculty in classrooms, capitulating universities have NOTHING.

Thank you @tribelaw.bsky.social

Let’s GO, academia! Follow Professor Tribe, a most venerable leader.

“It is not only faculty members’ academic freedom & freedom of speech that is infringed upon by Columbia’s capitulation to Trump’s diktat. Teaching assistants would be seriously constrained in leading discussion sections, as would students…by the constant fear that informers would snitch on them…”

Canada’s Boycott Is Freaking MAGA Out A Canadian journalist contacted me the other day looking to get a sense of the current state of the Canadian boycott.

“A Unique Political Pressure Point:

The boycott has a long history as a political tool to hold the powerful to account.

[maga] is powerless against the determination of ordinary Canadians…a people who are united in nonviolent non-co-operation.”

Dersh has been banging this drum since Trump1 & the really good news is: ostracism works, even on the shameless.

Tons of people miss this--the shameless are hyper-sensitive to stigma.

Civil society should use this free, non-violent tool to punish destructive people a lot more often. It works.

Tell us your story and join @gtconway.bsky.social, Sarah Matthews, Michael Fanone and others who are standing up to Trump and reminding him that America is still the Home of the Brave. ofthebrave.org/tell-your-st...
