F*** these evil MF’ers
Lots of heartbreaking, enraging, cortisol-dump-inducing images coming out of Minneapolis, but I'm stuck on this one, of a five-year-old in his preschool backpack just before being bundled into an ICE van and disappeared from his mother and brother and community.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

The American-led world order established harmony among the great powers within it, and left those outside it relatively isolated and insecure, Robert Kagan argues—and all of that is now ending.
Every Nation for Itself
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

This article ends with ADL regional director Scott Richman praising NYU for withholding the degree of student Logan Rozos.
It's both a crackdown on Rozos' speech and a way to further escalate the situation, to move the decision about how to punish this student up from administrators to trustees.

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

Part of me still thinks when I see these horror stories there must be something we don’t know, but the other part realizes it’s just getting this bad, this fast.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.
