In America, the rule of law is king.
For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other. -Thomas Paine

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.
Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes.

At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

The logic of filling in public swimming pools with dirt or cement instead of racially integrating them, applied to the whole country
A Black man won the presidency and they decided to burn the entire country to the ground so it won’t be something worth winning anymore.

Thank you for taking a stand! This is just the beginning. 💪🇺🇸🔥
I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Absolutely chilling. None of us are safe.
NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

Who’s going to tell him about Ulbricht, the Tate bros, and his boss’s felony convictions? Not to mention the insurrection he supported. Oh, and the 1500 J6ers he pardoned. Don’t talk about the criminals and rapists, JD… we know exactly who (and where) they are. Proven in a court of law, no less!

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech.

Elon Musk shared a post to his 219 million followers that Hitler didn't murder millions of people. Will the Trump administration search his home, shut down his government contracts, arrest and deport him back to South Africa the way they're going after college students and universities?
Musk Retweets ‘Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions’ Message Amid Ongoing Nazi Controversy
Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.
