Chancellor Julio Frenk is the child of German refugees who fled to Mexico from Nazi Germany. He has not been shy about addressing bias where it exists.

Meanwhile, using the pretext of antisemitism to take money away from my employer is the most antisemitic thing ever to have affected me personally.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

University of Virginia President Resigns Under Pressure From Trump Administration

This is naked authoritarianism. It is exactly what happened in Turkey. There is nothing to stop this regime from demanding that faculty be purged too. Everyone must stand up and push back.

Truly horrified by this order in way that is deeper and darker than I have felt over many truly awful merits decisions.

SCOTUS majority not deigning to give *any* reasons for staying the injunction of the district court - in the highest-possible stakes context & where the executive branch has acted appallingly - evincing real contempt for both district courts & the rule of law

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.

This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

I have found Julius.AI to be a good tool for creating reproducible code snippets.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

incredible, they cop-tensed the possible beginning of the next world war

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

the image of a Jewish man locking himself to an immigrant, his fellow neighbor and a stranger, to keep him from being kidnapped by the American gestapo is making me weep. how could he have done differently when we know what we know?! how can any of us

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Today:

Tanks are being moved en masse into DC.

Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests.

Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents.

If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

Or as he put it in Notebook of a Return to the Native Land:

Beware, my body and my soul, beware above all of crossing your arms and assuming the sterile attitude of the spectator, for life is not a spectacle, a sea of griefs is not a proscenium, and a man who wails is not a dancing bear.

I'm reading this ruling belatedly and came across this line: "...the Court finds that the public benefits from living in a country where rules are followed and where promises are kept."

Pretty remarkable point from Ehud Olmert, no dove himself.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.

This is such a huge story.

Texas AG Ken Paxton Can Access Your Prescription Records Ken Paxton and other Republican officials can access your prescription records without a warrant and use it to target you and your healthcare as he's done with gender affirming care. Early last fall,...

Ken Paxton likely used a little known database that tracks RX records of controlled substances to target gender affirming care providers. Worse, he can access the prescription records of anyone without a warrant in over 37 states with an agreement with Texas.
