UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech.

Prepare to see AI re-spun as a tool to empower women/POC/LGBT.

It's clear Chuck Schumer is not cut out to lead the senate Democrats. There needs to be a vote of no confidence and he needs to be replaced with someone willing to fight. Trump and Elon are dismantling democracy while Schumer whines and capitulates.

Chuck Schumer is 74 years old. Nancy Pelosi is 84.
The median age of the US Senate is 64 years old.
US retirement age is 67, US life expectancy is 79.
Imagine leaders who literally, viscerally do not give a single shit about what happens in 10 years because they won't live that long.

This is all illegal. It should also terrify you. These are police state tactics. Where is due process? What's the definition of "supporting Hamas?" Does it mean being pro-Palestinian? Anti-Israel? Anti-genocide? Using slogans the admin doesn't like? Who will they target next?

UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
