That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

The US has roughly 1/4 the population of China and yet our GDP is 1.6 times China's. Maybe tariffs aimed at returning our technologically driven economy, back to a simple manufacturing hub, isn't the best economic move. 🤷♀️

Sociologist Michael Mann’s definition of fascism: “the pursuit of a transcendent and cleansing nation-statism through paramilitarism.”
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I tell my students the 14th Amendment is without a doubt the sexiest Amendment of the 27. Its protections extend to citizens and residents alike, guaranteeing due process to everyone, regardless of status. On American soil, due process of the law is a natural right.

When teaching the collapse of the Soviet Union, I have students read President George H.W. Bush's Address to the Nation (12/26/91). Reviewing it before class today, it held extra meaning.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Mary Beth Tinker (Tinker v. Des Moines) virtually visited my classes today. She talked about free speech and student empowerment, which the world sure could use more of right now. "You're making history either way. By acting, you get to choose which side you want to be on."

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
