Became a bit obsessed with this gorgeous golden-leafed tree on campus last week. Would normally share on the platforms where my friends and family could see it, but I am getting more and more reluctant to give FB anything I hold dear. #cambridge #autumn #ginkotree #goldenMIT

The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.
The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can.
So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

Trump seems to believe that, if you’re a man, “you can do anything” to women—and that you deserve to get away with it.
The one crime Trump doesn't seem to have a problem with? Domestic violence.
"If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100 percent [reduction in crime]," the president said Monday.

As the nation reels from last week’s horrific school shooting in Minnesota, authorities in Florida seem to be doing everything in their power to re-traumatize a community victimized by a different mass attack.
Amid a wave of mass shootings, Florida cracks down on chalk
An arrest in Orlando is the latest escalation in Republicans' war on rainbow crosswalks.

All assets from Infowars, the website founded and operated by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, must be turned over to a court-ordered receiver, a Texas judge said. That person must then sell them to help pay families who lost children in the Sandy Hook shooting and had sued Jones for defamation.
Judge Orders Liquidation of Infowars to Pay Sandy Hook Families
The order comes after a series of legal setbacks for the families of Sandy Hook victims as they tried to collect money owed to them by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Imagine a president publicly describing their country’s capital city disgusting and dirty? Has there ever been a less intelligent, less noble leader?
President Trump says Washington, D.C., is “unsafe” and “dirty” and “disgusting,” despite falling crime rates. He's also suggested that his background as a New York real estate developer makes him more suited than local authorities to blot out crime and homelessness in the nation’s capital.
For Trump, Cities Like Washington Are Real Estate in Need of Fixing Up
“It’s a natural instinct as a real estate person,” he said in announcing his federal takeover of the capital’s police, despite falling crime.

So Many Amendments Should Have Already Been Made To Our Constitution….

This is terrifying and if anything should make all of us mobilize immediately, it is this.
A facist occupation of our nation’s capital. Does anyone really believe any of us are going to be safe or free in Trump and his puppeteers’ long game?
Today, the president foreshadowed that if these heavy-handed tactics take root in D.C., they will be rolled out to other majority-Black and Brown cities, like Chicago, Oakland and Baltimore, across the country.

That should alarm everyone, not just Washingtonians.

MIT spring blooms. Coupled with the bright faces of prospective students here for campus preview weekend, it is almost giving hope.
Almost makes you believe we can get back to almost normal. This generation deserves better than the future we are looking at right now.

Sad I didn’t get my act together to make it out to today’s Hands Off protest in Boston. Sending love and thanks to all those out there. With you in spirit, will get the body there next time. Be safe!
