“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Yep. Latest report from @calliefin.bsky.social was that they were having conversations with Cheyenne Parker-Tyus. Also tried to make a run at Brittney Griner.

Don’t matter. I’d rather sound like a crank and be wrong, than say nothing and watch it happen.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

Take Note: ARRESTS seem to have emerged as the early datapoint that Trump’s ICE wants everyone to focus on. It’s a relevant datapoint. I’m watching it closely. But remember: ARRESTS ≠ DEPORTATIONS

Bingo. Peep the NYT article to witness how misleading and flat out wrong headlines can be. Read the whole article and see how NYT gets it wrong. Gustavo got Trump to agree to humanitarian transport, so who really backed down from whom?

Your post is misleading, I mean WRONG. It’s not the tariff fight that led to the change by Gustavo and he didn’t back down, Trump did. Gustavo objected to the treatment of the migrants on military planes. Trump relented by ensuring compassionate transport. Stop reinforcing Trump’s false bravado.

Breaking News: Colombia’s president said the country wouldn’t allow deportation flights from the U.S. until President Trump provides a process that treats migrants with “dignity and respect.”

The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

I can guess the “reasonable belief” on which ICE agents in AZ are relying to make these arrests. Absolutely atrocious and completely illegal. Reports of Navajo people being detained in immigration sweeps sparks concern from tribal leaders azmirror.com/2025/01/24/r...

Interesting that just two days after Trump issues that invasion proclamation citing “threats to public health” as justification for suspending asylum rights, he rescinds the USCIS policy requiring that those seeking admission to the U.S. be vaccinated against COVID.
