The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is an important thread for so many reasons. Please read it.
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Looks like the attack on DEI has now reached the diversity of thought. Very sad to see the Washington Post transformed into a propaganda machine. I hope you’ll read the good content over at The Contrarian, where all viewpoints are welcome.

A must-read. This’d be worth creating a Facebook account just to read—and I know what a claim that is to make.
It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.
(This is very much _not_ about me, of course, but I’ll say that if you ever doubted my writing on Musk, this will help.)

I have known Elon Musk at a deep level for 14 years, well before he was a household name. We used to text frequently. He would come to my birthday party and invite me to his parties. He would tell me....

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

SEEN ON TIKTOK…
Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone just for being a woman.
Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for a married woman.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Thanks to our very wise Board of Trustees, one of the courses I normally teach (LGBTQ History), along with 431 others, will no longer count toward the fulfillment of general education requirements. Just another day in the “Free State of Florida.” 🗃️
"The 432 courses that were removed from General Education range from Theories of African American Studies, Critics of Religion and American Multi-Ethnic Literature to Feminism and Globalization, the Evolution of Human Sexuality and LGBTQ History."
FSU board OKs removal of over 400 courses from general education offerings after review
“We’re living through an era of legislature-driven higher education reform,” FSU Provost Jim Clark said.
