The resident dean who was fired was given only ten days to vacate his housing. @harvard.edu is putting a Black family — with a newborn baby — out on the street because of comments opposing white supremacy.

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.
Just shooting people

In 1771, Edmund Burke warned that abuse isn't an anomaly—it’s the predictable consequence of unchecked power.

The children always suffer most.
School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

“Disney princess ears” is a pretty good line
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

By acting with impunity, the U.S. signals that power, not law or morality, decides the fate of nations.
This reckless precedent doesn’t just target Venezuela, it implicitly hands Ukraine to Putin and Taiwan to China.
It’s a dangerous lesson and the consequences will be felt beyond this moment.
