You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

When our friends, students, and colleagues can’t travel without fear of detention or deportation, we don’t live in a free society. I’ll never understand the silence of leaders who won’t use their power to say—out loud—that this is wrong. And I won’t soon shut up about it.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no.

They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they *still* refused.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Universities’ overcompliance to anti-DEI sentiments remains one of the wild and yet unsurprising higher ed stories from 2024
#DEI Bans Flourished in 2024. Politicians Aren’t Finished.

Six states passed new anti-DEI laws this year, leading institutions to change hiring practices, close DEI offices and end DEI trainings. Look for more in 2025. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/3VGS0Xf

My friend introduced me as a #writer & #UnsuccessfulComedian, who just happens to be a #professor Monday to Friday to pay the bills— which is hilarious since it doesn’t pay the bills and I work Sunday to Saturday 😭🤣
