Call Pritzker’s office 3128142122 or the state’s attorney’s office. Their office doesn’t want any national attention suggesting that his office is working with ICE.

Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.

Eman talked about why she was taking the risks involved with attending these protests here.

Thanks @kuow.org for inviting me to chat about Obergefell!

Thanks for chatting yesterday @joanesposito.bsky.social! It was fun—even if it was about seriously questionable Court doctrine. Thanks @washingtonmonthly.com for making it happen!

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

I’m on the Morrison Bridge in Portland where thousands of protesters are marching. The bridge is completely closed to traffic, as people protest President Trump’s administration

Wow.

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting. The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.

I still think this is the reason Trump is tanking the economy.

here in Pittsburgh, even the conservative media is covering the event: triblive.com/news/politic...

A big win for voting rights in a long-running PA case for @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social & @adambonin.bsky.social

For the love of god, please stop using the antisemitism excuse. It has zero to do with that , and everything to do with asserting control over societal institutions that create independent knowledge and promote critical thinking.

An administration filled with antisemites and misogynists loves to use Jews and women as props, pretending it is protecting them.

In California, UC Davis has suspended its Law Student Association and seized its funding in retaliation for the group’s vote backing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel amid its war on Gaza. www.democracynow.org/2025/3/27/he...

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! Today and every day, we call on colleges and universities to be safe and inclusive spaces for trans students, staff, and faculty.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

Sign this and stand up for higher ed

A key step in fighting the Trump admin's attacks on higher education specifically and democracy more broadly is to say as clearly as we can that we share values that are meaningful and that we will not stand by while our institutions are destroyed. You can do that here: bit.ly/DemocracyAndHigherEd
