The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs is absolutely correct. The pretext that this is being done in the name of Jewish safety is beyond appalling... it's being done in the name of authoritarian domination and we must resist with everything we've got.
If they can target Mahmoud Khalil’s First Amendment rights, they can target yours. The whole point of the First Amendment is that it protects speech – even if it’s unpopular or you don’t like what they have to say.
Judge Furman of the Southern District of New York has ordered that detained Columbia University protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil not be deported and that all parties meet in court on Wednesday in response to Khalil's habeas petition, filed yesterday:

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

The Trump administration wants to "protect Jews" about as earnestly as it wants to "protect women."
What kind of organizing and rhetoric is opposing the right-wing cooptation of antisemitism into a tool for repression and the violation of rights? And how can Jews disavow and denounce this stuff they pretend they're doing for us?
The Ed. Department's Office for Civil Rights sent letters to 60 additional institutions "warning them of potential enforcement actions" for "violations relating to antisemitic harassment and discrimination" including Harvard, Brown, Stanford, Princeton, UNC, and several UC's
