The trump administration is using its supposed antisemitism crusade to pit Jews against other marginalized people, to attack academia and other foundational institutions in our country.

Trump proposal to repatriate Ukrainians, Haitians would use foreign aid funds

This is not democracy

Call things what they are.

The trump administration is harming the lives of individuals around the world; and there are certainly people who have died as a result of withdrawing aid in many, many countries

This, unfortunately, follows a pattern of defunding and denial of science.
The trump administration is harming the lives of Americans, and some of that harm may lead to death.

Law firms should know better than to give in to extortion. trump’s executive orders are illegal and should be opposed. It is disgraceful that law firms should bend the knee to the one who would be king

As far as we know these arrests and deportations are being conducted publicly. Are there others in this country who are being disappeared? Are there planes, not flying to El Salvador, that are flying over the Atlantic or Pacific that return with many fewer people than when they left?

To date, Trump has employed both tactics. He has already heavily damaged independent journalism in America. How much more he can do remains an open question.”

We must keep the media free from government control and censorship.

Wind storms and hurricanes will flip air planes and destroy infrastructure.
