Trump is trying to fire three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission the agency that ensures products like cribs, toys, and electronics are safe. The removals are illegal and undermine the commissionโs independence. But since when has the Trump admin cared about following the law?

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood of Arizona restarted gender affirming care for transgender adults.
This decision comes after widespread public outcry at a "pause," which was seen as overcompliance with Trump threats.

In just four days, Dr. Khan Suri was transferred among five different ICE facilities across three states, despite the fact that ICE records indicate there were beds in Virginia facilities. Dr. Khan Suri was fasting in religious observance of Ramadan, but multiple ICE facilities refused him food or water to break his fast.
For almost two weeks, he was housed in a room without a bed and with a television blaring 21 hours a day. Dr. Khan Suri was issued used underwear, and a bright red uniform that is usually reserved for detained individuals who have been classified as โhigh securityโ based on their criminal history or alleged affiliation with criminal organizations. He is not permitted to work or spend more than two hours per week outside of his dorm.
Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.
His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will continue at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design
Dear Colleagues,
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) will continue at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design because our academic program and DEl initiatives are legally compliant, in alignment with our university values, and an extension of the mission of our school.
What I have offered informally and formally in the past two years remains: we are living through a historically difficult moment, perhaps unprecedented. Difficulty defines our era. And yet difficulty must be confronted. Difficulty is at the center of our methods as artists and designers, which seeks to materialize new knowledge, ideas, and interventions to heal ourselves, our society, and its relation to the land. The path ahead will continue to be difficult, regardless of presidential, national, or university politics. By continuing to commit to a space with the widest possible freedom of speech, we can ensure that all subjectivities, all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives can coexist and be debated through the most generative and healthy way possible, our work.
Our work in the studios, our work in the community, our work together in supporting students, our work generating new knowledge and ways of being...our work is what will see us through. I call upon each of us to reaffirm our work, which includes a commitment to building healthier futures, which requires generating communities that are diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
Kickass statement from Dean of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design
