ICE is made up of untrained people largely motivated by money, blind loyalty, and racism. It is not, despite their military dress, a military organization. ICE is essentially a militia at this point

This is a perilous moment for democracy in the United States, but I couldn’t be prouder of the Knight Institute’s work right now, and I don’t take for granted that we have the freedom and resources to do it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This free speech group at Columbia is taking on Trump when the university won’t – and winning

The Knight Institute is defending free speech at a school now synonymous with compromising on it

The president has made no secret of his enemies list.

But we will not be intimidated.

We will not be deterred.

We will do our jobs and continue fighting back against these attempts at retribution.

Look we could post some quippy response to this but I’m fine to let the GOP elite look at falling polling numbers & growing internal dissension over their overreach and decide the best response is “do some pushups.” Like ok man you sound like a 9-year-old & the voters kind of hate it.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Trump is literally trying to bully Norway into giving him a peace prize. Like, “or else.”

You really can’t make this stuff up.
