Short and Sweet from UPenn’s @aaup.org chapter on the Trump/Rufo “Higher Ed Compact.”

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

As that famous conservative Grover Norquist once said, "I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where troops patrol the streets of every city, agents personally inspect the genitals of all student athletes, & the government owns a 10% stake in major companies"

The Standards Review Committee of the ABA Legal Ed Council wants what it wants. And what it wants is a substantial increase in the experiential learning credits required of law students to graduate. Despite a flurry of comments objecting to this proposal — a few of which were especially powerful in exposing the lack of any serious evidence supporting …
