Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

A host of the Can't Be Censored podcast told Pierre Poilievre that he was never allowed to interview him when he worked for the CBC. I take apart his claim, the defense of channelling all leader invus towards Rosemarie Barton and ask why choose to lick boot?

DeSantis gave it a right-wing overhaul in 2023. Since then, ~40% of the faculty has resigned. It spends more than 10x per student what the other schools do & ranking fell from 76th to 135th.

Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida

Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 6d

Chris Rufo's disastrous takeover of New College in Florida shows what universities would become if they sign the Trump regime's extortionary "compact."

New College was supposed to model the anti-woke conservative higher-ed Americans crave. Instead, it showed the opposite, and serves as a warning.

News coverage of the Trump administration's proposed "compact" with universities has been, so far, shockingly bad.

I hate to pick on NPR reporter Elissa Nadworny, who's usually a solid reporter, but almost every important thing I heard her say this morning about the proposed "compact" was false.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Canada's losing a great deal by not having Axworthy-ish thinking inside the Carney government.

Lloyd Axworthy isn't impressed by Mark Carney. He's big on Wab Kinew though

The Treasury Department is developing a one-dollar commemorative coin, bearing the image of President Trump, for the nation’s 250th birthday. But it’s not clear that a coin could legally feature an image of Trump; an 1866 act established that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency.

Treasury Plans to Mint $1 Commemorative Trump Coin

The coin, bearing President Trump’s face, would honor the 250th birthday of the United States.
