RIP Free speech. Death by a thousand cuts

Not Dartmouth or Columbia. Embarrassing. Outrageous.

Dartmouth and Columbia did not sign. Shame.

She needed the cash to buy more bullets in case helpless animals crossed her path on the way home from work. A horse, a puppy. You never know.

Yikes. Maybe we are. It feels that way sometimes. My stand up and cheer side usually rallies - but then...

So right on point.

Phew. My History students usually know. But then many of them having never taken history classes before and with them it's dicier.

True story.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is.

Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Exactly. It should say cracking down on Jews who don't act like he wants them to. And cracking down on Palestinians because he's a racist. And cracking down on Asian students because he's a racist.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

This week, I joined my colleagues in the House to introduce the Raise the Wage Act.

It’s long overdue that we increase the federal minimum wage.

No full-time worker should struggle to make ends meet. Everyone deserves to earn a living wage for their hard work.

Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.

“Experts in government, consumer rights and immigration law said the administration’s action is illegal. Labeling people dead strips them of the privacy protections granted to living individuals — and knowingly classifying living people as dead counts as falsifying government records…”

Truly vile.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Coming soon to public universities everywhere. And heck there's plenty of fascists in power in our privates as well. Night falls quickly

When teachers are expected to die protecting children from school shootings, it’s not shocking when those same educators won’t allow their students to be snatched.

The degree to which right-wing operatives are gifted an unobstructed path to prestige journalism outlets is rather underdiscussed.

I never tire of pointing out that CBS News once hired a Politics News Director whose entire pre-CBS professional background consisted of being a GOP political staffer

Bush’s ‘War on Terror’ Helped Create Trump’s Terrifying War On Immigrants Shipping immigrants to an infamous prison in El Salvador is "the natural consequence and evolution of what we've seen throughout the last 20 years," J. Wells Dixon, a lawyer who has represented Guantánamo detainees, said.

Proud that my synagogue signed onto this excellent amicus brief in support of Rümeysa Öztürk. The intro is especially worth your time.
