GIVE HAITI THEIR MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Macron also announced the creation of a joint French-Haitian historical commission to ‘’examine our shared past’’ and assess relations, but did not directly address longstanding Haitian demands for reparations."

France's president says making Haiti pay for its independence was unjust
Emmanuel Macron's statement comes 200 years after King Charles X recognized Haiti’s independence and imposed a massive debt on the country to compensate France for the loss of slave labor.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

I did update the figure a bit and added labels, but it probably works better as sequential slides in a presentation. If you want the code and the pptx just drop me a dm and I’ll send it all your way.

People will argue that we should be willing to defy the law in the name of justice while also treating criminalized people as disposable. It's incoherent.

Wisconsin's farmers have been the backbone of our state for generations, and Trump's whiplash on reckless tariff taxes and trade wars are going to crush them. I'm urging Republicans in Congress to stand up for Wisconsin farmers and put an end to the chaos.

1) Just having the meeting and opening it up to the public was so valuable. Rutgers President Holloway was there, and so were folks from other Big 10 and beyond institutions, including me.

My latest. On the way antisemitism has become redefined as support for Palestinian life. And how that has led to the supposed fight against antisemitism becoming bigotry itself.
And how that, then, has led to the failure to fight actual antisemitism in our midst, endangering Jews along the way.

We Can’t Fight Antisemitism Without Fighting Anti-Palestinian Hate
Antisemitism is the main tool the Trump administration is using to stifle dissent and target Palestinians. It’s rooted in bigotry. And it’s harming the fight against antisemitism itself.

One aspect of Trump’s antisemitism fig leaf I haven’t seen discussed: if you’re a Jewish student who DOES experience antisemitism, but doesn’t want to blow up your college or get your classmates deported, you basically have no choice but to stay quiet and suffer in silence.
