Trump is attempting to prevent Harvard University from enrolling international students in his latest attack against higher education.

“It's very clear that what they want to do is run the university into the ground,” says Harvard professor Alison Frank Johnson.

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

The Transgender Studies e-book collection, available only to libraries and institutions, represents a relatively new yet vibrant area within gender, sexuality, and women’s studies focusing specifically on trans experiences and perspectives.

Hospitals that are cutting off care to trans people under nineteen are the very definition of "complying in advance"—some, as I report in this story, even claiming, incorrectly, that Trump has "prohibited" gender-affirming care. He has not. They are caving. More here: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens.

First, know your legal rights (in English and Spanish below). 1/

The pardons aren't just a reward for Trump's loyal foot soldiers. They're also a signal to would-be vigilantes that Trump will support people who commit violence for the MAGA cause. This could usher in waves of violence. Vehicular violence against protesters has already been normalized.

A prayer for all of us today. Keep the light on. Know your story. Know your rights. Keep one another close. Keep making art. Keep marching. We got this.
