BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

Demonstrators are trying to make sure ICE agents can’t sleep "Time to pull out the trumpet."

Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.”

Demonstrators outside LA-area hotelsβ€”where ICE agents are believed to be sleepingβ€”are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake.

β€˜Climate of fear’: Montreal doctor says NYU cancelled her presentation A Montreal doctor says her presentation at NYU was abruptly cancelled and believes the university did so out of fear of being pressured by the Donald Trump administration.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Black graphic with text "You're watching the most terrifying moment of my life. This felt like a kidnapping because it was: Officers in plainclothes β€” who refused to show us a warrant, speak with our attorney, or even tell us their names β€” forced my husband into an unmarked car and took him away from me. They threatened to take me too, even though we were calm and fully cooperating. For the next 38 hours after this video, neither I or our lawyers knew for sure where Mahmoud was being held. Now, he's over 1,000 miles from home, still being wrongfully detained by US immigration."
The quote is attributed to Noor Abdalla, wife of Mahmoud Khalil.

President Trump can't punish and deport someone for their political beliefs.

Mahmoud Khalil has not been charged with a crime β€” he must be released immediately.
