This is especially important: “We call upon our fellow institutions of higher education in the United States to declare their willingness to facilitate the immediate co-enrollment of Harvard’s international students, including formal acceptance of transfer for immigration purposes.”

House Democrats just formally introduced our joint resolution to terminate Trump's April 2nd declaration of emergency, which would eliminate the tariffs he announced last Wednesday.

So apparently there's a chance the Insurrection Act might be invoked on the 20th.

This whole tarriff thing makes me want to hurl. At this rate, all we can do is pray.

Boyle: It’s pretty striking that literally all Donald Trump had to do was nothing. He could sit there, watch Fox News all day, sit with the remote control, occasionally tweet, and then on weekends go down to Mar-a-Lago and play golf. But instead, he purposely went about ruining this economy.

It'd still involve a recession, of course, but one that wouldn't be as devastating as the one everyone is seeing.

*Ideally* that's what happens. Trump gets booted by a freaked-out Congress (probably with hell to pay afterward), Vance takes office but is effectively castrated, and we're left groveling for a semblance of our position last year.

YOU GUYS.

Very odd and questionably lawful prior restraint order out of Texas. The honor society Phi Theta Kappa is trying to prevent a critic named Toni Market from publishing a free book. They just got this bizarre order from a Texas judge prior-restraining it.

And the thing is, most of those goons have not even done anything beyond shitpost on Twitter. A few showed up to "defend" Tesla dealerships, but where did the rest go?

Well, a small relief, I suppose.

When it comes to this "proof of citizenship" stuff, I find myself leaning more towards making it easier to have copies of one's birth certificate/passport/immigration papers on hand. It's just a solid foundation to have in general.

Attorney General Bonta Secures Order Restoring $11 Billion in Critical Public Health Funding OAKLAND — California Attorney General Bonta today issued a statement on the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island’s decision granting a temporary restraining order that immediately rest...

GOOD NEWS: We’ve secured a court order pausing the Trump Admin’s unlawful attempt to gut $11 billion in critical public health funding.

This will keep funding flowing to help keep our communities healthy and protect us from public health threats. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

The thing is, even far-right circles don't like her. I remember coming across videos from Intellectual Dark Web YouTubers calling her out as being an airheaded asshole.

Very much so. A new order needs to be built and people are gonna rapidly do it knowing that they need one to weather the shocks.

Yeah, I'd say someone's rockin' the look.

They really just wanted to skip to the end. I swear, there's a growing general impatience in the air.

Tactically, this seems like a fantastic time for institutions (law firms, universities) and individuals (Repubs in Congress) who want to stand up to Trump.

He's openly cratering the economy, the weakness of Elon's ability to buy elections was just revealed in Wisconsin. The emperor has no clothes.

They'll make a run of trying to stop elections, of course. I don't think they'll cross that finish line in time.

Not only were there elections this week, the WI election was an essential *first* step in securing future elections. And, that election was won despite the richest man in the world using his wealth & power to influence the outcome. Democracy still matters. Those that say otherwise should be blocked.

Police Across the Country Are on High Alert Over Tesla Protests Intelligence reports warn law enforcement about “acts of violence against electric vehicles” and the danger of battery fires.

Police across the US are on high alert over Tesla vandalism incidents, documents released by @propertyofthepeople.org show, with agents pointing to discourse over the best method for triggering a thermal runaway.

The memos make clear FBI-DHS have only attributed the vandalism to "lone offenders."

I have no words.

I KNEW IT!

NWS Louisville doesn’t have enough staffing to cover NWS surveys. They now have to verify tornadoes via social media pictures.

A trans girl was banned from her track team. Now she’s competing with the boys. After President Donald Trump banned transgender girls from competing in girls’ sports, a Virginia high-schooler joined the boys’ team.

This is presented as some sort of heartwarming story, but it sucks shit www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

I love your optimism and occasionally share it, but man, getting to the other side of this is going to suck.

So apparently the Prez not only wants a third term, but wants to run against Obama. Y'know what? Fuck it. Let it happen if push comes to shove.

I'm in a strange spot when it comes to these tarriffs. I'm just uneducated enough about economics to understand why the numbers would "make sense" in the admin's heads, but aware enough of expert opinion to know why they're stupid and an economic shotgun to the face.

Interesting. Senate votes 51-48 to revoke the "national emergency" Trump declared to unlock the (probably unconstitutional) power to impose these tariffs.

The House could end this (specific) madness right now.

Tapping the sign.
