Nadia Schadlow, Trump’s former Deputy National Security Adviser, hasn’t read the Constitution
Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.
Woo-hoo!!!!! 👏🥳🤩
Not only am I now the first tenured Latina law prof at Tulane, I am also its first full Latina law prof.
And there will be more, I promise.
Hah, I’m reading this from a hotel room in Boston where I have my trusty pink electric travel kettle with me. It’s become a necessity on the road!
This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”
The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Case in point.
This is the clip, by the way. Well worth the quick watch.

I always show my students the clip of Butterfield testifying about the tapes when we study US v Nixon. I think it's important for them to see the significance of the congressional investigations to the Watergate saga. It's also so striking to see Butterfield simply ... telling the truth when asked.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” says GOP Rep. Andy Ogles.
Made me think of my rabbi, after post-9/11 bigotry, saying that Jews, Catholics, Mormons, and anyone else called unamerican for their religion has a moral obligation to push back.
This country was founded on religious liberty.

We spent approx. $9B to murder those Iranian schoolgirls so now we can declare victory.
🚨NEWS: @knightcolumbia.org & @protectdemocracy.org just filed a lawsuit on behalf of @thecoalition.bsky.social challenging the Trump administration's policy targeting social media researchers and trust & safety workers for visa revocation and deportation. More: knightcolumbia.org/content/tech...
Department of high irony:
Trump on Supreme Court —
“I think the Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself…I got to live with these people. And they’ll only vote bad, and I couldn’t care less at this point. They have hurt this country so badly because they haven’t had the guts to do what’s right.”
Have Vance and Trump said thank you?
Please read this discussion of how ordinary Germans became Nazis.
Generally speaking, I don’t like this comparison (US now and Nazis). It’s lazy button-pushing that simplifies the present.
But the dynamics here…
Read.
Along with being fascist criminals:
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
Sure “create supply.” And reward Russia, at a time when it not only continues its war against Ukraine but also reportedly provides Iran with intel to harm Americans. The Trump Russia First policy continues.
Photo of two frenemies - an orange cat who looks angry, and a rust-colored chiweenie in a pink harness who looks intrigued.
If there’s a pet hall of fame, these two late, great ones belong in it for sure. (The photo’s from several years ago - I dug it up because something reminded me of these wonderful weirdos).
I’m so sorry. Your wife’s beautiful essay makes clear that he was loved and that his memory will always be a blessing.
Yes, one silver lining as I was reading this -- I do recall looking at that portrait in Room 127 whenever I had a class in there in the mid 90s. It was the only portrait of a woman in the room at the time, and I can't recall another in the building back then.
100% And those big institutions that had the $ and power to resist and chose to comply in advance ... they should never live it down.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This sucks. I’ve been reading @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social for 20 years, since he championed Malick’s The New World. He’s one of the great enthusiasts in film criticism, who will go to the wall for what moves him regardless of what others think. I don’t always agree but I always enjoy reading him.
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
