Ripping a student from their home, challenging their immigration status, and detaining them solely based on political viewpoint will chill student speech and advocacy across campuses nationwide.

Political speech should never be a basis of punishment or lead to deportation.

The Trump administration’s detention of Mahmoud Khalil — a green card holder studying in this country legally — is targeted, retaliatory, and an extreme attack on his First Amendment rights.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE.

DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Words from UMN president "we have not rolled back diversity, equity and inclusion at the University of Minnesota, and we are not making any preemptive changes to our existing programs" do not match the action "postponing" (aka cancelling) Implicit Bias Workshop that was scheduled for today.

Looking into corporate DEI shenanigans & changing where I shop. For Aldi, DEI mentions removed from US public website, but for now there is still a DEI program on the internal website, and DEI is on public webpage in other countries. Something to keep an eye on. www.hr-brew.com/stories/2025...
Aldi US quietly removes DE&I language from its careers page
The company had previously boasted about its employee inclusion groups, DE&I education, and internships.
