Military should not be deployed against US residents. Full stop. Period. No more discussion. OBVIOUSLY.

Why is this so hard?

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

Might also help deter some of these abuses in at least some cases.

Lots of folks are acting like history ended and that we'll have Trumpist rule forever. But history doesn't work that way and it's long past time to remind folks.

A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”
The Crisis of the University Started Long Before Trump
The University of Chicago is in crisis. Under extraordinary financial strain, it has diminished its faculty-student ratio and hired hundreds of “lecturers”: teachers whom it pays little and whom it do...

I'm not saying there won't be other progressives. but pritzker has a big platform to fight trump right now; he's also broadly acceptable to mainstream Ds. he's someone who could really win, and progressives getting behind him could give him a real advantage...and put him in debt to progressives.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

Asked about Trump's deployment of military and other federal authorities to DC, Hakeem Jeffries touts the "strong letter" issued by the DC Attorney General.

The UCLA Faculty Association has filed a California Public Records Act request for the DOJ ransom letter sent to UCLA, after it was learned yesterday that the UC and the Regents and UCLA administration has no intention of sharing it with faculty.

Every person who said 'states rights' wanted Black people excluded from public life. Every person who thought it was reasonable sounding and did not know that was being fooled.

When they say "no trans athletes" they are setting the stage for no trans people everywhere. It's already playing out.

CUNY presidents had a presentation about this on Wednesday, and there will be more information shared soon, I talked a bit to the CN! director about it. Definitely something to amplify.

@cuny.edu is providing consultation with an attorney for all current students and employees who need help with immigration issues!

This is an amazing resource and other colleges should do the same. Good for CUNY for stepping up to the plate in this way.

My new article in @theconversation.com today explains what's going on at the vaccine court under RFK, Jr.'s HHS leadership.

Yes, it's alarming, but it's also complicated.
RFK Jr.’s plans to overhaul ‘vaccine court’ system would face legal and scientific challenges
The 40-year-old ‘vaccine court’ relies on scientific evidence to determine whether a person experienced harm from a routine vaccination.

Something about how they need to harshly criminalize the throwing of a sandwich at a fascist precisely because it's the kind of expressive act that goes past liberalism's expression as "communicate your ideas" into the articulation of a desire, warning, and even a threat

People often act as if bad faith is a mass disbelief problem, but it needs to be seen as an elite pathology, for which they need to be held accountable

there's "charitable interpretation" and there's "being a mark" and the inability or refusal to distinguish between the two is practically a credential in some circles

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.
