Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."
Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

A lot of this stuff comes as really surprising if youve never heard of french politics
The new rules will ban *all prayers in public.* That's a violation of religious liberty.
The restrictions on face coverings *also* seem to me seriously unjust— and even the paternalist justifications seems self-defeating if it leads to women simply being less able to leave the house.

The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5

Many soldiers raise their hands.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.
