Mahmoud Khalil's rights should be defended for their own sake, and for his unborn child's sake, but they should also be defended on principle and for all of our sakes. The slope is slippery; the rights are crucial.
if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for Trump's destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now

@houlahan.house.gov decided to side with MAGA and censure @algreen.house.gov for speaking out against Trump’s lies at his joint address. Pathetic.

As clear a sign as any that congressional Dems either don’t fully grasp or are incapable of confronting the constitutional crisis.

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.
That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.
This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today.
This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers.
According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.
