It is simply accurate to call this regime segregationist.

After Donald Trump's address to military leaders today, "senior U.S. officers have to wonder who will shield them from the impulses of the person they just saw onstage," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

75% of Labor Department workers are furloughed during Trump’s shutdown. That means millions of workers will have fewer watchdogs on the beat to ensure job safety, crack down on wage theft, and enforce labor protections. And the so-called “pro-worker president” is to blame.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Not paying people remains one of the biggest through-lines of Trump's career. That plus corruption, racism, and sexual assault. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

So according to SCOTUS it would seem that states have the right to ban gender affirmative care that professional organizations support but do not have the right to ban conversion therapy that professional organizations condemn. Professional expertise literally has no legitimacy anymore.

The head of the U.N. refugee agency suggested Monday that President Donald Trump’s America has carried out deportation practices that violate international law, and criticized a wider “backlash” in some countries against migrants and refugees. https://to.pbs.org/4q4MtYo

"I’m very excited for these Democrats to face criminal probes for their real crimes.… Justice is coming — and justice is best served cold.” Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Trump offers universities funding in exchange for segregation. That’s the clearer way to talk about his “deal.“

Apple removes ICE tracking apps after pressure by Trump administration reut.rs/4mIfztt

The Trump regime has ordered nine top universities to agree to its demands or lose access to federal funds. Reminder for any school dealing with Trump's extortion: You can't appease a tyrant.

This is such an absolutely disgusting response to the proposed 'compact'. A board of regents/governors that acts this way is operating against the spirit of higher education.

Just finished The Dope by Benjamin T. Smith—an eye-opening dive into the history of the Mexican drug trade. Illuminating in how it weaves politics, violence, and survival, showing the deep roots behind what too often gets reduced to headlines. #Reading #Book

Just to take stock: the first claim was that there was an entire literature supporting the anti-birthright position. Then, *after* that claim, scholars emerged to post drafts on SSRN. And *now* the government points to a "growing body of modern scholarship" all drafted after the initial claim.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

The new reality that is emerging in Texas is that certain topics or ideas are simply off the table in the classroom. The censorship of academic speech and entire fields of knowledge in service to an ideology poses an unprecedented danger to the future of higher education. #AcademicFreedom

Uganda is one of the countries that's greatly affected by the reduction of U.S. foreign aid. Here's how the health care system is responding — with trepidation, innovation and resilience.

I recognize the healthcare system is broken and shaped by a profit-driven model. Still, when did doctors begin charging just to complete pre-authorization forms for treatment? #Healthcare #Capitalism #PatientCare

Trump’s shakeup of the CDC is threatening Mississippi’s fight against its rising infant mortality rate, which is so high it’s a public health emergency. In particular: Mississippi has stopped collecting data for a key database on maternal and infant health. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

All of this coming to your community, as public health funds dry up, certain states make harm-reduction (syringe exchanges, test strips, etc) unavailable, and policy shifts from outreach (was never enough) to criminalizing/encampment sweeps- happening even in blue cities like Minneapolis.

what the FUCK that is SO HIGH

OK folks. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting on Friday to discuss Covid vaccines. If it is possible, I do recommend getting a Covid vaccine before then. I know due to out of pocket costs and prescription requirements in some states it is easier said then done.
