This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

ICE is out of control.

Local law enforcement is now holding press conferences, issuing statements, and doing interviews because ICE is taking illegal actions against them too.

If ICE doesn’t want their officers to be put at more risk, they need to follow the law.

Just watched the Trump speech in Davos. Sort of wish I had not. Embarrassing, full of lies and conceit. PM Carney is right. This eruption of the old order can not be undone. It can not survive under this menace.

Watching Trump in Davos. He sounds terrible and absolutely insane.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

This is fucking insane and the kind of thing that could only happen under a corrupt, idiotic tyrant.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

Reporter: Is there any evidence?

Trump: I mean, you're saying maybe the attack didn't take place? It's possible, I guess, but President Putin told me this morning it did.

The demolished East Wing is a monument to this regime's destruction of our system of checks and balances, and the process of democratic governance.

It is a monument of rubble.

It's not hyperbole to say that the United States doing this to its own citizens is Nazi-like.

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

I’ve been on it for over a decade and until this year I was the *only* UVM professor on it which means

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

Stop Referring to the Confederate Monument in Arlington National Cemetery as a "Reconciliation Monument" Secretary Hegseth has announced his intention to reinstall the monument in 2027.

"If Hegseth and others are so intent on bringing β€˜reconciliation’ back to Arlington National Cemetery, I have a recommendation. Head on down to Section 27 with roughly 1,800 flags and decorate the graves of the United States Colored Troops." kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/stop-refer...

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as β€œa spat” between Don & Rosie

A valid point! They can’t claim there was no time to consult the Congressional Gang of Eight and share key intelligence with them, as required before committing the nation to war.

sure, the world is going up in flames, there's unrest in the streets, and America has become a global punchline, but at least Trump voters made the handful of trans athletes in the country feel extra bad
