As part of the $200 million deal Columbia made with the Trump administration, an outside monitor will assure the school complies. To critics, this represents an unprecedented governmental intrusion into the affairs of a private university.

So freaking messed up … results of our subpar education system and MAGA bubble warped thinking.
A top Trump administration official’s claim that Medicaid recipients could replace farmworkers has been met with pushback from California’s agriculture industry, which faces the loss of its workforce amid federal immigration crackdown.

Done with IDF bombs, weapons the US provided, done with ICE arresting farmworkers and seamstresses, devastating hard-working families, done with the violent hate in this country, a country that rhetorically still tries to pretend it is above all others. We sink lower, lower (Loomer) by the day.

“Every day that Donald Trump is talking about immigration, & not talking about kicking 13 million people off insurance and Medicaid, he knows he is winning,”. “He wants to see people standing on top of burning cars, waving the Mexican flag—that’s the exact imagery that can help.” WSJ

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.
