US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

Trump obviously covering up a potentially serious health issue is one of the few stories that actually does not bother me

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

“Barely legal” per Megyn R. Kelly
I was 15 when it happened .
I was so traumatized I had to drop out of 10th grade halfway through the year. I finished HS through the mail while I spent my days in intensive outpatient therapy.
I am 42 now & hardly a day goes by I don’t think about it.
So no, it’s not ok to rape 15yr olds. #MeToo

“…the only offer on the table was that I needed to
resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA…If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block 100s of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate.”

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

The Trump admin is in court regularly seeking injunctions as well as stays and other temporary relief. Two leading scholars, Will Baude and Sam Bray, argue in a forthcoming piece that courts should probably rebuff some of these motions under the famous equitable doctrine of "unclean hands." /1

A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
