Me & @kirkman.bsky.social spent months looking into a new firm called Truehold, now one of the largest real estate investors in #STL.
Its biz model: Buys houses & offers to lease them back to sellers. It's a strategy that's faced scrutiny when used by other firms

I doubt that anyone from America who goes into CECOT will ever come out.
And this is by design.
If indefinite imprisonment with no prospect of release imposed by fiat without due process isn’t the definition of a gulag, then I don’t know what is.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

IF WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS SO RIGHTEOUS WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE YOUR FACES?
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
