A university called Northwestern should have a compass.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

Full statement from NU below:

It is wild that for 15+ years there was a strong bipartisan consensus in the U.S. that Washington should and could manage the domestic politics of Afghanistan. Completely insane!

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

Nearly all talk of civilization and civilizations is an example of what Auberon Waugh called “dumbing up,” a dumb that is no less dumb for being in its way intellectually ambitious

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

"AIPAC poses the single biggest existential threat to democracy in America out of any group. It spends hundreds of millions to sustain the power structures of a fascist in Israel and goes into predominately communities of color with massive disinformation campaigns.°

Good; don’t
It’s sad that it’s come to this but democracy must be defended

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.

West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC.

Victims of the shooter and the president.

Imagine what kind of evil, apocalyptic nonsense these ICE agents have to tell themselves again and again so they can believe they’re the good guys in all this
ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews

They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs

One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her

This is cruel entrapment
