Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

This is always a possibility when someone talks about context, to be clear
6. Occasionally, you'll see actual quotes from the Talmud, but with no context, used to lie about what the Talmud teaches.
You might see the word "context" and think "Ah, that's just trying to make excuses." But no joke, sometimes the missing context is "…said one rabbi who no one agrees with!"

The thing about all the Newsom posting is that people are giving themselves negative feelings about the party as a whole based on something at best hypothetical (more likely imaginary) and after the thing doesn’t come to pass, those negative feelings will remain, searching for justification.

Sodom, famously punished for welcoming the stranger
Far-right broadcaster Steve Deace says Trump must "stop trying to be reasonable" and make an example out of Minneapolis: "A community must be made an example out of so it's a cautionary tale, so that everybody still knows what Sodom and Gomorrah means." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Trump is a germophobe (which differs in kind, not degree, from wanting to avoid being infected by pathogens) and he has the same visceral response to foreigners in what he thinks of as the realm over which he reigns
honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

This is actually an ESSENTIAL articulation of this admin’s immigration policy.
Policymaking is about weighing equities. In normal policymaking, the rights of the people you’re going after count as an equity. It appears for all the world that this administration’s decisionmaking simply ignores them.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Absolutely, we *should* be saying "documented" rather than "legal."
(Because no human being is illegal, so calling a human "legal" is redundant)
(Because no human being is illegal, so calling a human "legal" is redundant)
If you are not a "legal immigrant" you are an "illegal immigrant." We use one, why not the other?
We don't say "documented immigrant." This is Orwellian language meant to avoid the problem that a law was broken.

"Undocumented immigrants" is OK or possibly "unauthorized immigrants." Never use "illegal" to refer to people otherwise you'd have illegal doctors, illegal journalists, and illegal engineers, etc. People are not illegal although they may do something illegally.

The reason people aren't retaliating with violence is NOT because they're not just as angry as you are. It's because normal people do not have an organized military with automatic weapons and bombs, and retaliating violently will get their neighbors fucking killed.

This part is particularly important! Don't let assumptions about eligibility stop you!
* The donor eligibility guidelines have changed *considerably* in the last few years due to updated science and many people who weren't eligible now are. In particular, the UK/EU travel ban is completely gone and the blanket ban on MSM has been converted to an all-gender behavioral risk screening.
