Inspired by the shellacking Democrats gave Republicans in the elections yesterday. A student asked me earlier if Alexander ever faced opposition. Gave me a chance to talk about the Mutiny-that-wasn't (India) plus the real mutiny at Opis, which took ATG by surprise. What caused it + how he responded.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

I just asked the White House if Trump remembers taking the Oath of Office—which requires him to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution”—twice.
Trump admits he's iffy on the whole due process thing
“Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States?” Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked. "I don't know," Trump replied.
Yes. For real. Read/watch - @motherjones.com:

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again.
Trump killed it on day 2.

You are NOT required to give them your device passwords, but biometric data is not protected you can still be forced to unlock via fingerprint. Remember to disable biometric authentication, pressing the power/side button quickly 5 times in succession will do this for most phones.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
