Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

A great thread about Christians and Christian nationalism from Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg.
As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.
Nope.
Christian friends. 1/x 🧵
This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

The next step in restoring meritocracy is to reject the theory that proportionate outcomes equal fairness.

Harvard Divinity School punished students for having a PRAYER-IN last semester. I absolutely understand why students have decided to change tactics.
When you tell people to stop protesting genocide, it absolutely impacts how they respond to your shouts about fascism. Everything is connected.

Some people laughed at the Professor Watchlist as if it couldn’t hurt them. I felt the hurt and a wimp for feeling so. And here we are.
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

This piece published yesterday and the "chaos menu" of government keeps churning. But the sentiment remains.
"A true land of opportunity and security depends on a baseline of public goods, which Trump's recent actions are already undermining."

Hey there, if your journey to leftist politics isn’t rooted in love for other people, you’re only gonna recreate what you hate somewhere else.
It’s not about airing grievances. It’s about creating a space where those who are marginalized can exist without fear.
Zoom out.

I am trying to collect responses to the EO from Wed. on K-12 education. I found one from the CA DOE but struggling to find others. Please post links here if you know of any official statements. States, advocacy groups, unions, academic orgs…anything helps!

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze has led the National Parks Service to cancel job offers for seasonal employees. We are concerned this could leave our parks understaffed during the busy summer season, which sees over 100 million visitors annually.
