Just spent 6 mins trying to read 2 words of my own handwriting on an article draft.... Happy Monday 🫠

Landmark case up for argument at SCOTUS at 10am on the power of presidents to fire independent agency heads.

Here’s my quick preview in Espresso, @economist.com’s daily app.

I’ll be posting live analysis during the oral argument in this thread

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said earlier today that seeing this video was "one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service."

"People will someday see this video and they will see that that video shows ... an attack on shipwrecked sailors."

The term “remigration” has a dark past that everyone needs to understand. It was created on the European far right as a coded call for ethnic cleansing, the forced removal of non-white immigrants and even their children.

If this doesn't make you smile and laugh (and maybe even tear up a bit), well, not sure why we're connected online at all.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless peope are Deing cragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart... children come home from school to fing that their parents have disappeared. Anne Frank, 1943

“Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead.”

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.

Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that how Harvard and the economics profession respond to Larry Summers will determine who makes up the next generation of economists.

This asshole is out here saying, as president of the most prestigious university in the world, that women don’t advance in academia because they’re not intelligent enough while he’s telling a pedophile he won’t mentor this woman unless she sleeps with him.

My rage is without end.

The fact that @harvard.edu's Larry Summers is teaching three courses this semester while Texas A&M Professor Melissa McCoul was fired tells you all you need to know about what "gender ideology" is allowed and which is not. @aaup.org

Like, every Pres gets a Hollywood Handshake on their signature bake?

Extremely messed up, racist, and will destroy science as we know it. This would literally destroy the careers of most US-born researchers I know, in addition to all the foreign-born scientists. Every paper Ive been on has had coauthors from prohibited countries and I have learned so much from them.

Excited for this new role!!

Like I said: with Gen X nobody was watching!

Well, I grew up in Long Beach 😊

Encyclopedia Brittanica FTW 🙌🏾

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

This is not weird, just basic Gen X.

Yes, I’ve done them all. And nobody was watching.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Fam, I’m so proud of this one: the first comprehensive empirical study of disability in law school. Did you know 20% of law students have disabilities? And while they outperform their peers on engagement, they need more institutional support. Learn about their backgrounds, behaviors & experiences👇

Thanks for your support! So glad we at LSSSE @thelssse.bsky.social could share these important findings on students with disabilities.

The Law School Survey of Student Engagement released its 2025 report, Disability in Law School. Among many helpful findings: 1/5 students report having a disability. This serves as an important counter to what NALP has found (1-2% in offices/firms). Well done, @meeradeo.bsky.social!

It does not appear that blue and purple parts of the country are enthusiastic about the direction of the country under Trump at the moment; Dems are motivated.
