While I am horrified that this guy got nominated, is it maybe good that we're talking about "white culture" in the senate out loud? I'm proud of my senator for pushing him on this.

Thank you SO much for these questions. Thank YOU, a white man, for asking them. he looks like such a moron.

you should be asking for a hell of a lot more. Abolish ICE. Impeach all of them. Every senator who betrayed their oath to the constitution impeached. The Bill of Rights is NOT OPTIONAL. The Republican party has declared war on the American people, including the ones who voted for them.

Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

So is the plan really to take all the money and flee to Mars? I am just so unbelievably angry that no one was able to stop these toddlers who are just breaking things because they can.

Opinion | A.I. Companies Are Eating Higher Education

Glad to see a Columbia administrator speaking the plain sense about AI so many college leaders refuse to contend with. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/o...

Thank you for trying. Standing up for the protections in the bill of rights and fulfilling the oath you all swore to uphold the constitution should be the bare minimum. What is WRONG with your republican colleagues?

YES THANK YOU!!!!! Now convince your colleagues!

Can't you convince any of your Republican colleagues that this has gone far enough? they can't all be insane?

ABOLISH ICE! There's no "reining in" jackbooted thugs. Can't you convince some of your Republican colleagues that living in an authoritarian state is a bad thing?

THERE'S NO REFORM POSSIBLE - ABOLISH ICE NOW! NOT ANOTHER PENNY FOR ANY OF THEM. NO REFORM. ABOLISH!!!!

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from β€” not toward β€” a federal officer when he opened fire.

This comes from the NYT's analysis of all the available video. Put aside whatever you think of NYT; this is extremely valuable, careful, and absolutely damning analysis that literally step by step debunks every lie fascism may manufacture about this murder. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Dialogue and the Democratic Classroom

β€œWhile practicing hope in the classroom may not guarantee that students engage politically, Matesan wants these principles to at least counter the growing sense of despair about the state of the world.” Wesleyan University’s Emy Matesan on empowering students to have difficult discussions #HigherEd

I was just thinking the same. I know everyone needs to pay their rent, but I can think of a million jobs I'd rather do than to violate people's civil rights and the constitution. People in the National Guard didn't sign up to occupy DC. why don't they all just quit?

People in the arts and humanities are resigning rather than oversee their institutions be used in unethical ways. Kinda makes you wonder about the leadership of the national guard........

This is fascinating. I realized the same a few years ago when my cousin from WI came to visit us in CT a few years ago and brought mace, just in case. I grew up in Manhattan, lived on the south side of Chicago and have traveled around the world and it never crossed my mind to buy mace.

there were a surprising number of vegan restaurants in Berlin when I was there too. it's apparently the new thing, which is crazy when you think about traditional German food......
