Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett never argued a case in court either. 😒
Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)

🧊✈️ CHARLOTTE 🤨

👉 Saturday night, an Eastern 737 (tail: N625SW) on ICE charter stopped in Charlotte to load human cargo. Arrived 7:26pm, departed 9:45pm.

This plane made another stop in Jacksonville before returning to the ICE hub in Alexandria, Louisiana after Midnight 👀

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

DHS agents in Chicago achieve an unprecedented record: causing car accidents all over the city through the reckless operation of motor vehicles. They appear to do this because they are assured of complete impunity for all acts undertaken while out on operations. Insurance companies are nonplussed.
Tear gas, car crashes, chokeholds: Risky tactics have driven Trump’s Chicago deportation ‘blitz’
Law enforcement experts say federal agents have displayed a lack of training and restraint. “They’re out of control,” ex-police Supt. Garry McCarthy says.

The use of the rubric of state-sponsored terrorism to understand Trump's military operations in cities that voted against him is not only appropriate, it helps us better understand his objectives and his tactics. bsky.app/profile/news...
"... please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. It is not law enforcement; it is terror.”

The biggest names in Chicago broadcast news condemn the violent attack on the city they love. I talked to the author, Phil Ponce.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

And what he finds broadly fits the picture that I've seen revealed in my reporting over the last year—"AI" is not broadly replacing jobs across the economy, but bosses and corporations very much are trying to use it to cut what labor costs they can; that means on art, words, and image production.
