Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks the Trump administration from cutting off funds for "direct legal representation services to unaccompanied children." Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, a Biden appointee, issues the injunction, addressing congressionally-funded Office of Refugee Resettlement programs.

JESUS GRETCH. Gov. Whitmer and her family had to live under FBI protection for a YEAR because 13 people tried to MURDER her and her family on Trump’s orders. Yall are so PUSSY.

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Here was this past weekend:

The horrors are not aberrations. This is the Trump administration's plan.

This is their plan. But the plan is just that — a plan. It can and must be stopped.

Gardening question 🌱 This volunteer sunflower has the same problem all my sunflowers have had for years...if you notice, all the bottom leaves brown and decaying. What's the most likely culprit? Neem oil hasn't helped in the past.

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

ICE says they will bring charges against the two Immigration Rapid Response Hotline volunteers who demanded that agents show their badges before seizing two men from the Charlottesville courthouse. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Nobody knows what an external revenue service fucking is. But we all will be fighting about it soon cuz trump posted about it and now will have his machine hitting hard on it.

Figured I'd make a little thread with things people may not know about the cruelty of U.S. jails and prisons. 1. In California, guards force detainees into "gladiator fights" for their own amusement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

California charges 30 officers over ‘gladiator fights’ at juvenile facility

Staff at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall alleged to have allowed or encouraged nearly 70 fights involving young detainees

I do wish that more stories about the El Salvador prison where Trump disappeared people would note that it’s only different from US prisons in that it’s in another country, not because of the conditions. People are tortured and put in grave danger on American soil every day in our prisons.

Per his attorneys, Mahmoud Khalil asked to address the court at his immigration hearing today, where a judge gave the green light to the Trump admin to deport him. “This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me to this court, 1,000 miles away from my family.”

Khalil can raise his constitutional arguments both in his habeas petition (still pending in federal court in New Jersey), and once he is able to challenge the immigration judge’s ruling in the Fifth Circuit. It sucks that he can’t raise them before the IJ, but that’s (unfortunately) not unusual.

Please help if you can 💗

I REALLY loved Uzo Aduba in The Residence (Netflix). It's such a fun mystery series - I haven't watched a good whodunnit in a long time.
