Immigration sought to deport 88-year-old. But he already died

Why Trump's "Compact for Academic Excellence" is a devil's bargain and should be rejected in all forms

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

Evangelicals & right-wing Catholics (who are basically just evangelicals anyway) seem shocked by this. But there’s nothing weird about it in Catholic theology. St. Francis of Assisi referred to brother sun & sister moon. Catholic theology recognizes we are a part of nature, not separate from it.

@gelliottmorris.com I know you take your choice of polls seriously, is there a particular reason why RMG always polls consistently 50% or better? It seems like it's always an outlier even among the registered voter polls.

A must-read analysis. There can be no compromise:

"an agreement you and I sign that binds you to do what I want, grants me new leverage over you to demand more in the future, and does very little to bind me"
