I think people are mistaken when they say the chuds are "mistakenly" destroying real research in an attempt to target Marxist cultural anthropologists or whatever. Republicans are trying to destroy **universities** because they sustain communities where Democratic voters live.
Chilling report from Brown University.

Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities.

Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a video posted on social media, “I will never, under any circumstances, turn this doctor over to the state of Louisiana under any extradition requests,” signaling a potential legal battle between the states.

This is how it’s done. Do not comply.

With everything else going on, I realize this may slip through unnoticed by the mass public, but the Trump administration is deleting wide swaths of survey and medical research because it is about disfavored groups such as LGBT people and women.

A number of the J6 prisoners who Trump pardoned or commuted on Monday had been given terrorism enhancements when sentenced. So, Trump is literally letting terrorists free.

Remember that.

“Letting go of questions of deserve.” This part really struck me; it’s how the more “normal” among us get sucked into the fascist’s game. Leave behind this judgement, give generously to all, and watch society transform.
I wrote about the clarifying power of simple declarations of basic truths and decency; how they show us what we stand for, and how they expose what indecent liars stand for.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

It sure feels like some Canadian politicians are putting up a much better opposition to Trump than anyone here at home
Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump.

"So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."
