No to the City of Miami partnership with ICE. Yes to Matthew 22:39 Love Your Neighbor. 287(g) is harmful and does not reflect Miami’s core values where diversity is our superpower.

Please Commissioner Ralph Rosado, vote NO! I am your constituent. @aclufl.bsky.social

✊🏾 Lead the way, Harvard!
On Friday night, the federal government sent Harvard a five-page fusillade of new demands that would reshape the school’s operations, admissions, hiring, faculty and student life.

It took less than 72 hours for Harvard to say no.
Why Harvard Decided to Fight Trump
The Trump administration will freeze over $2 billion in federal funds because Harvard refused to comply with a list of demands. Harvard leaders believed saying no was worth the risk.

As a cheddar head myself, I cannot believe he had the audacity to wear a cheese head.
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

We MUST do better. Preach!
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This is what academic discourse, exploration that benefits all humanity has come down to. Condolences.
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Honestly? These ugly beasts should have never made it to the road for their unsightly look. Now they’re dangerous too.

I'm fighting so everyone can have a real chance at the American dream. That includes making sure everyone has healthcare, stable housing, and a quality education.

Words matter.
Agencies within the Trump administration have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents. These terms appeared in government memos, in official and unofficial agency guidance and in other documents. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This administration can’t erase women who fight for justice. Learn from surviving Filipino “Comfort Women.” who took to the streets & courts. Never giving up, never silenced, always speaking Truth 2 power. Especially to orange men riddled with fear. To the Lolas & all women warriors. Laban!
