Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band was killed when he lost control of his motorcycle on a Macon, Georgia street while trying to swerve to avoid a tractor-trailer. He was three weeks shy of his 25th birthday.🎸

If you work in academia, this will ruin your Saturday.

The Trump administration is forcing nine top universities to sign a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”. The Compact imposes Trump’s ideological dominance over America’s top universities.

A Deal That Would End Universities’ Independence
The free-speech provisions of the so-called compact are an exercise in contradiction.

📣We woke up this morning to find Israel has cut off the main road into Gaza City—nothing can get in as of today. They also bombed the water truck, and we all know what comes next: death and destruction.

An inspiring vision of a new opposition movement that will rebuild democracy after we are finally free of Trump rule.

Where is my place in the movement? I see room for lawyers, maybe economists. A successful opposition has to engage all who want to rebuild the country.

We need to build a new opposition movement. In this video, I lay out the challenge ahead and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

The White House is planning to change how universities are awarded research grants, giving a competitive edge to schools that pledge to adhere to the values of the Trump administration.

Which values would that be? Racism? Xenophobia? Fascism? Disdain for the rule of law? Cruelty?

White House considers funding advantage for colleges that align with Trump policies
The proposal has the potential to transform the government’s vast research funding operation, which has long awarded university grants based on scientific merit.

Ron Brownstein: “Do we want to live in a country where the president can, in effect, order the Justice Department to find a crime for someone who he dislikes or disfavors? It was the Head of Stalin’s Secret Police who famously said: ‘Give me the man and I will find the crime.’”

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!
