We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Carla Hayden is an immense force for good and a civil servant who was truly dedicated to her institution. This is shameful.
A brief joyful moment was interrupted by the fact the President just fired the first black Librarian of Congress who was appointed by Congress to serve a ten year term. Her term expires in 2026.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

One of the most powerful books I’ve ever read.
Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Everyone in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford needs to call about this too. Frankly? Every university member and every citizen nationwide should be flipping the F out. How much clearer does it need to be? It never stops with noncitizens (and even if it did, that would not be okay!)
