I'm in contact with student journalists around here too and yeah same. Lots of college papers about to have entirely "Staff writer" bylines

The Trump White House is axing the wire service spot from the coverage pool, the latest salvo in its battle with the AP | CNN Business Instead of restoring access to The Associated Press newswire, as required by a federal judge, the Trump administration is removing the wire position in the daily press corps rotation altogether.

Is there anybody in the world at this point who looks at what's going on today and thinks Trump's US is a fully functioning democracy? Seriously, guys, democracies don't banish the wire services from their leaders' open-to-the-press events. www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/m...

When a student is snatched from campus & denied due process, speak up. When a student protestor is harassed for their viewpoint, stand in their defense. When you’re told to keep silent about diversity by a potential employer, walk away.

We must ask: What, in this hour, are we willing to risk?

We are pulling on one thread in the far right coalition: the strain of apocalyptic imaginary alongside a future vision of a gated city (celestial, earthly, digital, extra-planetary).

It's not the entire story of neofascism today.

Let's share others, like this: gilbert-achcar.net/age-of-neofa...

👇🎯🧵 We’re here. This is it. The entire ballgame. There is no further moment to wait for, or further questions about what this is. It’s either this, or we’re done.

Wait til he finds out about automation.

This is what happens when people speak up.

This does not mean we can’t recover. Again, it’s not doomerism. But you can’t look at the last two months & honestly say that we currently live under a political regime where either the rule of law or the constitution currently operate. Both are being openly shredded on a daily basis.

The average college student today How things have changed

A generation of college students incapable of sustained engagement with the printed word.

Such rich, fertile ground for fascism.

A North Carolina Republican who lost in his state Supreme Court race last November is trying to get the courts to overturn the election results by throwing out 60,000 votes. But now we learn that he was photographed wearing a Confederate uniform. Why am I not surprised?

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

"Imagine what we would say if these things were happening in another country."

If we're honest, most would say nothing at all. People in the U.S. don't pay much attention to fucked up events in other countries, or even fucked up events in this one, when they don't feel threatened themselves.

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study?

A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

ICE arrests WA farmworker activist in Sedro-Woolley Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez, 25, has organized on behalf of farmworkers' rights in Washington state since he was 14 years old.

“I think pretty much every legislator in Olympia knows him. He’s a serious young man who really wants to fight for justice, and he knows how to express himself and he’s tireless. He is like 24/7 on immigrant rights and farmworker rights.”

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.
