🧵Trump's masked thugs shot a 24-year-old US citizen last Thurs in Ontario, Calif.
He had just left his home and saw a bunch of ICE agents surrounding a car.
He stopped and simply told them, "Hey, there's a bunch of kids about to be across the street because they're going to school."

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

In housing markets, new construction soaks up high end demand, thereby keeping existing more affordable homes available at those more affordable prices.
The problem with blocking expensive new “luxury” housing is that (a) it does nothing help poor people get homes, and (b) the rich people don’t disappear when the fancy condo building isn’t built—they just buy and renovate the best available existing homes.
"no one should make a profit building necessary housing" is one of those things that sounds based and radical... for like half a second, before you finish thinking it through

Thank you @katrinacallsen.com and @creighdeeds.bsky.social for demanding UVA Interim President Mahoney reverse this decision.
Virginians, if you haven't voted in the state-wide election already, do it!!! Then we can replace this BOV, which has irretrievably lost the UVA community's confidence.

Our state colleges are not owned by Trump and they aren’t for sale.
UVA is a world renowned public university. Our principles should guide our actions, not politically motivated guidance and illegal threats from the DOJ.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.
The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

UVA's president and board were engaging in secret negotiations with Trump's DOJ even as they publicly rejected the Compact for Academic Excellence. We'll be reporting to them quarterly. I'm not sure what this means for us but I can imagine it's all that good. federalinfo.virginia.edu/sites/federa...

WashU in STL just announced, in a university-wide email, that we will NOT be signing The Compact.
This statement, I believe, exists thanks to the tremendous energy generated w/in our community by, among others, the Faculty Senate, the revived AAUP, and student journalists. I'm proud of everybody.
