Five of the first ten amendments deal with the rights of those accused of a crime. Why? The founders realized that the first thing an abusive government would do is claim someone opposing them was a criminal and then deprive them of basic rights.

Vance's response to ice murdering a woman & attacking a high school was that ice has "absolute immunity", and now he says that ice will begin "door to door investigations to check people's citizenship".

Not even one full year in, we’re taking over foreign countries, stealing their resources, rewriting history on government websites, and now shooting people in the streets. I struggle to find optimism at all for our nation.

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

Another bullet point in a future change vs. continuity essay.

One of the most important websites in America right now.

Healthcare is a human right, and the US system, driven by the profit motive, deprives citizens of that basic right to enrich the few. Competing goals of good care and profit will always lead to care suffering and overall unnecessary human suffering. Public healthcare now.

Bye-bye, creepy Matt!

Trump’s pal Putin—openly a murderer—has struck again.

A tragic, cowardly assassination of exactly the sort Trump would love to start carrying out in America.

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

The disgusting attacks on Delaware’s own Sarah McBride serve to illustrate why her election is so important to so many. Proud of her for handling something she shouldn’t have to with dignity and grace. And a huge f-you to those attacking her. We elected her, and we’re proud of her!

Trump’s planned emergency declaration is beyond scary; it also demonstrates the lack of limits to his power. What else will be an emergency? And who or what can stop it? Really need to find a hobby outside politics lol

So far, enjoying it here. Kept getting crap on my feed on C I didn’t care about and not seeing people I actually followed. Hopefully this continues.

Working on adding all of my folks from the bad place. Realizing how many posts I wasn’t seeing there because the crap had taken over. Wow.

In my three years at @insidehighered.bsky.social, no story has been more widely read than this excellent and timely piece by @knottkatherine.bsky.social about the future of the Education Department under Trump 2.0.
