EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...
The Onion NYT ad. The headline of the editorial says “CONGRESS, NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS YOUR COWARDICE”

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

We always appreciate @bradlander.bsky.social but never more than when he shows up to protect people.

We are horrified that masked federal agents are targeting our neighbors and our electeds.

Call YOUR electeds and demand they show up, too!

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Such an important piece! And entirely too timely.

Thank you for doing this work @jackiepedota.bsky.social !

Proud to share this important piece at a time when identity centers are being defunded and dismantled—largely based on mischaracterizations unsupported by research. Huge thanks to the JDHE reviewers, @tichavakunda.bsky.social, and @garceslm.bsky.social whose feedback made this piece even stronger.
Screenshot of the abstract and first page of an article in the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education titled “Created to support, structured to struggle: A systematic review of the institutional conditions shaping the effectiveness of identity centers.”

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

Graduating students of color at Harvard University and other colleges across the country would end their semester by attending affinity graduation ceremonies — but this year, they had to organize these celebrations without the school’s financial backing.
As colleges halt affinity graduations, students of color plan their own cultural celebrations
Affinity graduations recognize the range “of challenges and obstacles" that students from minority backgrounds face as they work towards their degrees, said one professor.

Data centers are the new sacrifice zones
Today, more than 90 percent of residents living in Boxtown’s ZIP code are Black, with a median household income of $36,000, according to the Census Bureau. It’s also home to more than 17 industrial facilities — some of which share an industrial park with xAI — that release enough toxic pollution to require registration with EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory.

“I can’t breathe at home, it smells like gas outside,” Boxtown resident Alexis Humphreys said through tears, holding up her asthma inhaler during a public hearing about the turbines last Friday. “How come I can’t breathe at home and y’all get to breathe at home?”
