I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

So far here’s a list of companies reinforcing their commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion:
Apple
Costco
Bank of America
Delta
JP Morgan
Marriott
Microsoft
Procter & Gamble
Goldman Sachs
American Airlines
Southwest Airlines
United Airlines
Catholic Health

It’s worth emphasizing that the Colombia fight was not about accepting deportations. It was that the Colombian president demanded deportees be treated humanely, and not as props for Trump’s performative cruelty. That simple request for decency was enough for Trump to instigate a trade war.

There are no websites that you visit anymore. Either you see a headline on social media and don’t click or you try to order a sandwich and it makes you download an app and tell it the last four digits of your social security number for Pepperoni Points

Thank you!!!!

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Exactly

Photo of Vivek Ramaswamy at one of the galas surrounding the inauguration. He's in a black tie rig and black overcoat.

Close up of his shirt. There are four black dress studs and one mother of pearl button at the bottom. The white button is circled in red. Next to the circle, it says "DEI button."

Photo of Matt Gaetz wearing a white hoodie a pair of tan cotton chinos. The hoodie bisects him about halfway from his collar to the floor. It's very slim, enough that you can see his nipple poking out from under the fleece (maybe it was cold).

Three men wearing a range of casual pants—brown pants (maybe canvas or corduroy), grey double knee pants, and light washed blue jeans. All three are wearing grey hoodies. The hoodies bisect them roughly a third of the way from their collar to the floor. They are also cut a bit wider, so they form a somewhat boxy silhouette. The hoodies are from Brut, a vintage shop in Paris with its own in-house line modeled after vintage clothing.

IMO, hoodies look better when they're wide, not slim, and come up slightly higher on your torso

Tweet from Gustavo Petro: English translation: "We have never refused to accept migrants and we have tried to stop migration. The stupid blockade of Venezuela was what led to millions of migrants in the US. But do not demand that I accept deportees from the US, handcuffed and on military aircraft. We are not anyone's colony." Spanish original: "Nosotros nunca nos hemos negado a recibir migrantes y hemos procurado detener la migración. El estúpido bloqueo a Venezuela fue el que desencadenó millones de personas migrantes en los EEUU. Pero no me exijan recibir los deportados de EEUU, esposados y en avión militar. Nosotros no somos colonia de nadie."

After announcing 25% tariffs on US imports, Petro says "We have never refused to take migrants and we have made efforts to stop migration. ... But do not demand that I accept deportees from the US handcuffed and arriving on military flights. We are not anyone's colony."

The easy offramps seem gone.

A tweet of mine from May 9, 2017: This is going to be the dumbest dystopia.

Also curious about this

Doing the lords work

Thank you! Yes!

That is to be determined and as journalists they should not write misleading article headlines that say otherwise.

Also agree

Agreed . So misleading

Here is the official gov’t response on their website :

Totally. I’m Colombian and it boils my blood how the media incorrectly words things and doesn’t take the time to read and translate the other country’s response. So wild.

No the U.S. media just didn’t translate his response to trump on x and they also mislead you by not explaining he sent his presidential plane to receive them with dignity and not as criminals as the US wanted in military planes. They will be holding meetings in DC to set a protocol

He did NOT accept military planes sending them as criminals.

Incorrect “Colombian President Gustavo Petro has arranged for the presidential plane to facilitate the “dignified return of Colombian nationals who were to arrive in the country today in the morning hours, coming in from deportation flights,” read a statement released on Sunday.”

American media doesn’t even take the time to translate Colombia’s response. They did not back down - they will meet in DC and set up a dignified protocol which is what they were asking for in the first place.

The article on the Colombian press only says they agreed to talks in DC. Nothing about a deal to accept immigrants. Our media is just awful.

The President of Columbia just told Trump to fuck off in the most extraordinary call for the Americas to rise up against American tyranny that I have possibly ever read.

FREEDOM. Let’s go.

This is worrisome to me. Yes, of course Columbia should be sanctioned, but I don't see why Dartmouth and Brown are getting off without even a warning.

It’s spelled Colombia. Not Columbia.

Just like it’s coffee, not covfefe.

But seriously—maybe actually try to learn global geography & how to spell things this time around. Use ChatGPT or something if it helps.
