Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

the TSA went from security theater to Schutzstaffel spies in one easy step
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Not *nearly* enough noise is being made over the federal government (bipartisanly!) passing the first discrimination/segregation law since 1996 last night.

"[T]oo often, people who are targeted for repression in moments of mass activation wind up being forgotten ... and that's a norm we need to break. We have to support our people, and remember that its not over until [all] — including all of our target neighbors and all of our resistors — are free."
“The best way to respond to fear and intimidation tactics is to just show we’re not afraid. We’re going to keep showing up. We’re going to keep speaking out,” says musician Jocelyn Walsh, who is facing federal charges for protesting ICE activity in Chicagoland.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

When I did my MS at Columbia in 2011-12 anti-Zionist activists were constantly harassed with no consequences. Columbia’s bias has always been evident, but now it is being formalized in the curriculum. My children will never attend that cesspit.
Columbia's Task Force on Antisemitism has dropped its final report. They're advocating what seems to be affirmative action for Zionist scholarship (resonant with "viewpoint diversity" push for e.g. pro-racism scholarship from anti-higher ed activists)
