We’re being tested. These are not mistakes.Young Latino Men are most at risk now. Young Black men have always been.
LGTBQ people are next. Then anyone opposing the government. MAGA are willing to break our Union and their families and as long as they “win”. They will not stop unless we stop them.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

You don’t need to have gone to Harvard to know the lesson from all this — scared authoritarian bullies back down when you stand up to them, and ONLY when you stand up to them.

I can't say it any clearer than this:

I
don't
care
what
opinions,
positions,
or politics
are held
or expressed
by people
illegally seized,
detained, or
removed
from this country.

I DO NOT CARE.

They're in this country. The Constitution applies to ALL of them as much as it applies to me. Period.

I haven't felt so illuminated by an analysis in a long time. Worth reading carefully in full and immediately re-reading. Brilliant: "The governing ideology of the far right in our age of escalating disasters has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism."

Americans Must Prepare to Fight for the Citizenship Rights of U.S. Prisoners Trump's Plan to Render U.S. Citizens to Foreign Jails Seeks to Exploit Americans' Disinterest in the Rights of Prisoners

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass.

This is the sort of thing that sounds like a small deal if you’re not familiar with it. If you are, then you know it’s a very, very big deal.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it. A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat

"These aren't isolated efforts. They're part of a coordinated movement spearheaded by organizations like Family Policy Alliance (FPA). FPA works with nearly 40 state-level partners to enact policies rooted in biblical values and common sense. Through its Age Verification and Save Girls' Sports initiatives, FPA is helping states turn concern into concrete action."

Evangelicals are explicit about connecting age-verification with anti-trans initiatives, even if our allies in the fight are sometimes naive (or willfully blind). The broad push for internet censorship is not just about protecting children.

Sure, the US economy was in tatters, and there was a global recession, and we lost everything, but at least we made sure there were no more DEI hires and transgender swimmers. It was worth it.

- When historians talk to MAGA about this moment for their future books on how America lost its mind.

Study shows growing link between racial attitudes and anti-democratic beliefs among White Americans A new study reveals anti-democratic beliefs among white Americans are strongly linked to racial resentment and perceived white status threat. This connection has grown stronger over the last decade.

We keep writing about this destruction without getting to the core of it. “White Americans who are racially resentful towards Blacks, hold negative views of immigrants, and believe that whites are being discriminated against are especially likely to hold anti-democratic beliefs.”

Good morning.
Listen, you have to just decide.

They are not taking the Black Smithsonian.

Resolve it in your spirit.

Has everyone in charge at Columbia simply lost their marbles? I really cannot wrap my mind around their dereliction of duty to their students. If my kid went there I would sure feel some kind of way.

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

The full story is here, and it includes multiple other cases of people, including other people who entered at ports of entry (not illegally) who were clearly detained and shipped to El Salvador solely on the basis of their tattoo and nothing more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It’s possible to walk and chew gum but to the extent that the focus on Signal-gate is so intense that it drowns out issues that impact Americans more directly — like the gutting of the Social Security Administration or the defunding of cancer research — it could work to Trump’s benefit

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

Why a Philadelphia Family Can't Go Car Free A Philadelphia urbanist and working parent tried to go car free. She learned how that's a hard thing to do, even in a 15-minute neighborhood

Philadelphia needs to be built to allow families to live car-free.

Fundamentally, this needs good public transportation, safe streets, dense housing, and walkable neighborhoods — and politicians who support this.

just a reminder that we shouldn’t be disappearing ANY people to El Salvadoran prison camps, whether they have been convicted or even accused of crimes or not
