Columbia may have signed its own death notice. Word has it that tomorrow Columbia will announce an agreement to formal oversight by Trump. This, if true, will signal the death of Columbia as we knew it - a premier teaching and research institution. I explain it here: youtube.com/shorts/W7Rr7...

The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most extreme threats to free speech in 50 years.
Trump is sending a message that people who speak out will be punished — but we have a message for him, too.

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.
