When you take a leadership position, that means that when people have complaints, they will lay them at your feet. Calling that “harassment” is an announcement of incompetence and weakness. You want people to populate your site/protocol where people share opinions, Jay …

If you skeet misleading things, AI slop, or plain lies without explanation -- no matter what your intent -- I will block you. I don't want my feed full of (more) nonsense, and you've shown your colors.

Unhappy at being stuck in traffic, masked ICE agents deploy tear gas. An infant was hospitalized because of this. Tell me again that Trump did not openly declare war on Chicago in his Quantico speech.

Trump’s #MassDeportation agenda just killed good-paying jobs for Tennessee. This is a company Gov. Bill Lee recruited! Are we great now, GUV? tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/02/e...

Noem has carefully recruited the most thuggish characters for the Trump secret police. Here one of them commits an unprovoked violent assault, on camera.

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

When you have to wake up at 5am just to focus on something before the deluge of emails start, you gotta question what we're doing here, #AcademicSky.

Hey everybody I’m so excited to be releasing my new album “Diary Of A Showgirl” tomorrow I worked really really hard on it and… wait… I’m being handed a note…

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

"The Border Patrol official said that snipers rappelled down from helicopters on top of the apartment complex, as a precaution from potential violence." "Snipers rappelled from helicopters" It's a 5-story apartment building, not a Las Vegas casino! Gotta make a new sizzle reel, right, CBP?

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Yes, New College is incredibly inefficient but it also dropped 60(!) spots on the US News & World Report rankings. Not easy! Everytime Chris Rufo is introduced as an impt voice in higher ed, remember that the one time he had a hand in running an institution has been a disaster. Competence matters.

This year, more than ever before, it is all of us or none of us. May we all be inscribed in the book of life. G’mar Chatimah Tova.

Some schools will be starved of resources. Other schools will be offered bribes. The end goal is the same. To make the universities an extension of the Trump administration. Shame on any of these institutions willing to take the bribes.

"I have yet to find a single military official who was in the audience today who thought that this was a good presentation." "A ... disbelief that some of them were made to fly from, some of them, Asia, from all over the world ... all the way to Quanico to listen to a "campaign-style stump speech."

Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no. Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ... A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Jürgen is correct. Any historian of Germany in the 30s recognizes this language and approach instantly: the "enemy within" consisted of Social Democrats, Jews, Poles, Gyspies and Gays. Their eradication was sought and to a horrendous extent accomplished.

As someone who taught women’s history for more than 30 years, gender ideology is whatever people think about gender. For example, Pete Hegseth thinks there are only two genders and one should be dominant over the other. Other people have other ideas. Thanks for coming to class.

Man is really on the good shit. He woke up and was like “these tunnels are unconstitutional under the 14th amendment because they’re black”

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

I'm now at the "Wait, did we talk about this already?" point of the semester.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Oh goodie, another Trumpdown.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post. I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing. Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I remember an old edition of Dragon Magazine that had Bugs Bunny's D&D stats -- he had 400 hit points and straight 25 stats, if I remember correctly. A straight up invulnerable god.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I can’t believe how depressing it is to watch Trump crush norms, and institutions and to wonder if people are noticing.
