They Didnβt Have to Do This
By passing Donald Trumpβs One Big Beautiful Bill Act, congressional Republicans have talked themselves into an incomprehensibly reckless plan.
βCongress is about to impose massive harm on tens of millions of Americans,β @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes, βin order to benefit a handful of other Americans who least need the help. The bill almost seems designed to generate a political backlashβ:

βA U.S. citizen!β And now heβs missing.
Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesnβt lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.
Abuse of power. Keep recording. Donβt stop.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

American Panopticon
The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.
Trump and DOGE are not just undoing decades of privacy measures: They appear to be ignoring that they were ever written.

The Theft, Harm, and Presidential Grift of Privatizing the National Weather ServiceΒ
Our investment in National Weather Service is repaid many times over in economic benefit.
"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility
In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?
"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
