A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Faculty in red states are being punished for failing to signal in their course descriptions that their classes will include content on "gender ideology."

Crime and Pardons

Autocratic leader, building on racist propaganda, falsehoods about crime data, and an alleged assault on a member of his extralegal office devoted to gutting the budget, moves to have federal armed personnel take direct control of the streets of the capital city.

Cute. My version would be in death metal style though. youtu.be/diZr6PdwutM

Nailed it.

Dear USG,
Sorry to hear that you accidentally turned in a preliminary draft of your letter. Unfortunately, now that a grade has been submitted, we cannot accept a revised version, and the original grade must stand. I hope this will serve as a reminder to double check your work before submitting it.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

This is literally a demand for DEI hiring and admissions…for MAGA

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

I was wondering if this administration would start sending anti-Putin Russians back to into Putin's arms and his jails. Took two months.

U.S. authorities have detained a medical researcher—here legally, working for Harvard medical school—who fled Russia because of her anti-war views. She's now in danger of being deported back to Russia, where she could face imprisonment.

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

Some thoughts on this, in no particular order.
1.) The Ukrainians were initially willing to give some level of mineral rights to the US for support; the Trump administration instead pushed for a massive grab of those rights and tried to force Zelenskyy into it with a late-night "sign this" move.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

I’m eager to see how Americans respond to the increased unemployment rate after all of these illegal cuts. But who’s going to be around/allowed to track unemployment? And are people even going to be able to claim unemployment?

I am very frustrated by the teardowns of Amy Klobuchar based on a bad NYT headline (imagine that). She is fighting hard.

This is what holding your ground looks like:

She acknowledges that there is very little middle ground, if any, in the NYT headline quote. But in a Republican controlled Senate she needs to convince at least a couple of senators to join the Democrats.

You are misreading the sentence. She is furious that this is happening and is fighting back. Please read the whole interview.

She is acknowledging that there is a very small middle (if any) and immediately goes on to say that we must stand our ground. Read/acknowledge the whole interview. Klobuchar is a fighter.

She continues: “when they start violating the law and firing inspectors general without following the law, when they start illegally cutting off funding for home heating and other things that people need to live, we are going to stand our ground.” Read the whole interview before you bash her.

I was just trying to watch some football.

She's busy with a new baby, but I hope she turns up soon!

How is Julia Ioffe not here yet?

The Alien Enemies Act was part of the package of the Alien and Sedition Acts that risked choking off American liberty before the constitutional order had fully taken hold.

It was last used to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
