Every story like this needs the tagline THEY DID THIS. All the stories of destabilization, damage, sabotage, punishment, impoverishment, corruption, failure that can and should be laid at the feet of the Trump Administration.

Another THEY DID THIS specimen. (I want all the damage manifested in all the ways clearly laid at their feet.)

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

"The humanities really are a resource — a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Jorie Graham · Poem: ‘Demonstration’

mind the big wind is
after.

@sarahhurwitz.bsky.social needs to take a moment & try to understand what she's saying here.I really thought this was AI or a parody to make her look morally & intellectually & politically clueless. But it is real. And so horrifying for the Jewish community to be represented by a person this blind.

Why is Sarah Hurwitz suddenly doing so many media hits and why is every single one of them basically a caricature of the pro Israel view?

"I'm sorry if this is a graphic thing to say, but … when I'm trying to make arguments in favor for Israel … I'm talking through a wall of dead children."

All of you are deliberately mischaracterizing what Sarah Hurwitz was saying about Holocaust education. Do better.

Every clip I've watched has been more insane than the last - this one's particularly remarkable because when asked "why do you think there's been more excitement around this meeting" Trump responds with a long monologue about how great and remarkable ZOHRAN is - not one single word about himself.

Trump is also quite a 3d chess operator. He simultaneously tried to get Bernie supporters today. He wants 1) real estate 2/ to be loved 3/ to be loved in nyc.

More than unfortunate that Iraq and torture and the thousands of people who died were so easily glossed over by all in attendance.

undefined on Instagram: "immigration.insightsFor the first time in my practice, I am warning people with no criminal history that filing for a green card co…" immigration.insightsFor the first time in my practice, I am warning people with no criminal history that filing for a green card could trigger deportation proceedings. USCIS just updated its rules so officers can issue Notices to Appear even when a family petition is strong and pending. Filing “the right way” does not protect you from being sent to immigration court.Effective August 1, 2025, the new guidance applies to new and pending cases. If you entered with a visa, were inspected, overstayed, and filed an I-130 and I-485 through a qualifying relative, USCIS can still say you are out of status and issue an NTA.Judges can still approve green cards in removal proceedings, but custody is the bigger risk. Under current DHS policy, many people labeled as “arriving aliens” cannot get a bond hearing and may remain detained unless DHS grants parole. Detention can last months while you wait for court.This is not about safety or fraud. It is about making examples of people who try to get legal.If this could affect you or someone you love, talk to an immigration attorney before you file anything. “Why don’t they just get legal?” was always a myth. Now the government is proving it.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/green-card-applicants-immigrants-removal-proceedings-uscis-rcna223099https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-targets-spouses-of-us-citizens-in-green-card-crackdown/?via#greencard #immigrationattorney #immigrationlawyer #immigration #resist #adjustmentofstatus #detention #familyfirst
