Brazil's Bolsonaro arrested for allegedly plotting escape ahead of prison term Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of Jair Bolsonaro, with a judge claiming the former president was intent on escaping as he was set to begin his prison sentence for leading a coup attempt.

Envious

"’Brazil's democracy has reached sufficient maturity to steer away and prosecute pathetic illegal initiatives to defend the criminal organization that is responsible for a coup d'etat attempt in Brazil,’ he added.”

Impeach him yesterday. Yes, you, GOP in Congress. He’s harming your kids too.

It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

Yes that’s exactly right

Apparently the Trump admin wants Ukraine to sign the surrender deal by *next Thursday* (Thanksgiving!). If true, it is a shameful betrayal of Ukraine, of U.S. treaty allies, of U.S. and European national interests, and of basic human decency. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Oh god

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation’s top diplomat, worked on a secret plan for Ukraine to surrender to Russia, which illegally invaded it twice, with no future security guarantees against Russia trying a third time.

Women Keep Ruining the Workplace!! Before they arrived, of course, everything was perfect.

Before women, the workplace was perfect. It was full of trees. There was no need to labor with your hands. You didn’t have to wear pants, or any form of clothes. Every kind of animal was there.

Hmm I may be thinking of something else women supposedly ruined www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Just a reminder that I'm happy to speak to any journalist, or to recommend other scholars to do so, about why prejudice and "potentially divisive symbols" like swastikas (!) are so harmful to morale and cohesion in militaries

In this new @usnews.com article, five law profs (including me) with vastly different views on most issues explain why colleges should reject Trump's "Compact" with higher ed, for both constitutional and policy reasons: www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

Excited to see "Allies and Access" out in
@iojournal.bsky.social! We argue that access is an overlooked benefit of America's network of alliances/partnerships. Loss of access would mean loss of the ability to project mil and intel power around the world.

Precisely.

This is despicable, vile, and cruel in more ways than RFK Jr. can count.
