The image is a screenshot of a post on X by The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ
). The post reads: "Federal immigration authorities detained a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University. The government hasn’t filed any charges against Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the U.S. on a student visa, her lawyer said. Read more: on.wsj.com/3E3AM0b." Below the text, there is an image showing a person in a hoodie detaining another person in a white coat and headscarf outside an apartment, with a car and another person in a cap nearby. The image caption reads: "off-campus apartment."

This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Happy Heavenly Birthday Chester. Through the dark clouds that were brewing in your mind, you still brought so much sunshine and brightness to the world. It is missed so much. YOU are missed so much, even more so now. #ChesterBe

A screenshot of a BBC News webpage with the headline: "Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website." The page includes a banner advertisement for "Mimecast Risk Radar - Global Threat Intelligence Report." The BBC logo is at the top, with a "Watch" button in the upper right corner.

At this point, anti-DEI just means racist and sexist.

Whitewashing American history The Trump Presidency as a project of erasure

New, from me:

Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America.

Here is a partial inventory. 🧡

I was told we needed to eliminate foreign aide so we could focus on American homelessness, and now we are eliminating the US interagency council on homelessness. It’s almost as if they are constant and consistent liars.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Thank you, Jordan. You were out there taking the hits for all of us. Only problem I had watching this is that I could feel myself getting a little dumber each time one of them spoke. I need to find a way to do some brain cleansing now. πŸ€”

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

My 16 pound boy (Gibbson) is spooked when I sneeze and/or cough. Although I do sneeze 6-7 times in a row so I don't blame him. It spooks me too. Cats are wonderful, derpy, and amazing creatures.

Thank you this perspective. I've also said that I never thought this would be how the final chapters of my life would be but I think I'm going to adopt your way of thinking. For my kids and grandson - I can do it.

Feel better Rob. I know that feeling all too well. I suffer with hemiplegic migraines and the weather is one trigger that will get me every time. Get that sweet kitty and snuggle.
