Democrats need to go as hard branding protest as patriotism as Republicans are labeling it all insurrection.

From Harvard & UConn researchers on the June 14th No Kings Day protests. (report came out in August)

THIS is why MAGA is so spooked by the upcoming (Oct 18th) peaceful protests.

New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/new-...
New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history
The historic number of No Kings protesters and their expansive geographic spread are signs of a growing and durable pro-democracy movement.

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

The admin has singled out 9 specific schools and said they can have preferential access or risk no access at all. This is not about merit, then, or ensuring all universities adhere to an imagined set of principles. It’s a divide & conquer strategy to put some schools under the administration’s thumb

This is an op-ed from one of the framers of the Trump administration’s compact with universities. Regardless of whether one believes the litany of accusations the beginning, the idea of the compact and its mechanics are completely bad faith: [1/2]

Incredible dinner and breakfast at our Aizuwakamatsu inn, which specialises in traditional cuisine. That first picture is not remotely the full meal!
Beautiful array of dishes in more of different crockery, so many different colours and textures of food Beautiful breakfast with a large round dish of rice topped with salmon and egg and several other small dishes in pretty crockery

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
