Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Call your Members of Congress (Senators and Reps) NOW to ask for loud and repeated statements demanding for the resignation of everybody in the Signal chat who was so careless with our #NationalSecurity

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

It’s amazing how Trump manages to pull this same “maybe I’ll be nice to you if you shine my shoes” thing over and over again and people fall for it every single time

In the NYT right now, from a Justice Dept lawyer: “I will tell you right now that Columbia has not in my opinion — and the opinion of the Department of Justice — has not cleaned up their act,” Mr. Terrell said. “They’re not even close, not even close to having those funds unfrozen.”

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social take note that complying with a dictator’s demands will forever harm your institution. #resist

News that Columbia is considering ceding to the Trump admin’s demands that it change how it regulate speech on campus and teaches students in order to continue to receive federal funds made me think of this passage from a speech that UChicago President William Rainey Harper gave in 1900

"When for any reason in a university on private foundation or in a university supported by public money the administration of the institution or the instruction in any one of its departments is changed by an influence from without; when an effort is made to dislodge an officer or a professor because the political sentiment or the religious sentiment of the majority has undergone a change, at that moment the institution has ceased to be a university, and it cannot again take its place in the rank of universities so long as there continues to exist to any appreciable extent the factor of coercion."

NO ONE IS SAFE IF…
science funding is delayed
Medicare/medicaid is cut
federal employees resign
vaccine meetings are cancelled
trans rights are trampled
free speech is curtailed
climate change is denied
public education is slashed
DEI is blamed

NO ONE IS SAFE.
