Car salesman at a local Hyundai dealership today, after I asked him about the tariffs:
"It's terrible. The price of every vehicle is going to go up five or six thousand dollars... And here's the thing, even after they go away, think about it, they're not going to come back down again."

A recent trend at international academic conferences is that some American participants use burner phones or minimalist laptops. Their devices often run only browsers and basic software. This resembles the security measures travelers took 15 years ago when visiting China.

US academics, fearing persecution by their own government, are becoming ideological refugees. Europe, and Britain, must offer them sanctuary

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous.

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.
The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, and many others severely underestimated the level of dystopia we would achieve, and how fast we would get here.
This is why we need to stop threats to the 1st Amendment because these books will disappear.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
