The malicious compliance aspect of this is that students can apparently now submit a complaint against every professor in the university and shut the whole place down indefinitely.
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

Terrific investigation into Greg Bovino's roots. Lots of interesting details, including:

"Here’s how the Bovinos managed to get around the new quotas that limited how many Italians and others deemed to be “undesirables” could end up in the United States."

As a boy, the Hollywood movie “The Border" set the course for his life. He couldn’t believe the Border Patrol agents in the movie were the bad guys. Now that he’s in charge of deportation efforts caus...

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Cuts only hurt veterans who need care. This is a disgrace.
Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.

The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

Not a novel observation, but I'm going to run it through my students next month so I'm trying out my student-level explanation here first:

The vesting clause theory of presidential monarchism (uh, "the unitary executive") is in tension with no less than Marbury v. Madison.

I'll explain. 🧵

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.

I had a good conversation with a patient yesterday. After 20 min, I think i convinced her to vaccinate her newest baby. She's already vaccinated the others but said, "she's just so confused now with all the information out there". This is the legacy of RFK,it will result in disabilities &deaths.
I will never forgive RFK Jr. for what he’s done… never.

The layers of hell he has unleashed in many different areas — not just healthcare — over the past two decades have caused so much damage, it’s overwhelming.

He is one of the greatest villains of the 21st century.

Some clarity for the above; as the Embassy’s post says, this policy is currently only for dependents of H-1Bs, student visas, and exchange/researcher visas.

It’s not currently being applied to tourist visas or other visas, to my knowledge, yet.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

The challenge is, it centers around Charlie Kirk and so liberals and progressives initially say they don’t care.

But it’s not going to impact Erika Kirk or Turning Point USA staff directly.

American Jews will pay the price.
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are radicalizing ordinary Americans against Jews in a startling effective way.

Not against Israel — but against Jews.

Normie moms and homeschool moms who would never have cared about American Jewry are invested now thanks to Candace and Tucker who is aiding her.
