Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The only way forward, that I can see, requires both courage and collective action. If we’re not going to fight for our students and our scholarship, then what the hell are we doing anyway?
University presidents, the time is now! Unshackle the general counsel's office! File all the lawsuits! Release the faculty upon the op-ed sections! Write to your alumni, parents, and donors!

What other classified info is Hegseth sharing on Signal chats? Clearly, he can't be trusted to keep our military secrets—or our troops—safe.

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC:
I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment.
Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that.
No plan, no donation.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

BREAKING: President Biden and his team have brokered a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas.
