Lots of eyes rightly turned to my alma mater these days, and as good a time as any to remind folks that independent student journalism is vital and, in this era, cannot succeed without support. I love The Sun — consider making a donation: www.cornellsun.com/page/donate

So 56,000 Greenlanders who may not even want to be part of the U.S. would get statehood, but 700,000 D.C. residents who are already Americans but don’t enjoy the same democratic rights as all others won’t get it?

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

I would also mention the lawless disappearances of innocent people by masked agents of the state

Genuinely pondering what Americans are getting these days for upholding their end of the Lockeian social contract — if your electeds are this callous about letting you drop dead, what is a government even for?

Bracketing for a moment how awful this story is, what a stunning abuse of passive voice. Noor Abdalla is not only unnamed but unmentioned in the headline & lede about her own labor. Instead, it says “son arrives,” giving a baby boy more agency in his birth than the grown woman who delivered him.

Disgusted that @nationals.com is choosing to put on a concert featuring known abuser Chris Brown this summer. Do better.

So I just deleted my Twitter account and because I had made a “developer” profile to use the API for research years ago, they emailed me that profile would be deactivated. The weird thing is it’s all still Twitter branded — name, logo, etc. “X” only appears once at the bottom. It’s kind of eerie…

Every single one of the 200+ comments is begging Peters to pick up the phone & vote no on cloture. Astounding how unresponsive you can apparently be to constituents if you’re not running for reelection. There isn’t a single one of Peters’ 8 office phone lines where we can currently leave a message.

Buttigieg’s name ID and fundraising advantages were freezing the Democratic field in Michigan. With him ruling out a bid, the floodgates could open. Keep an eye on: -state Sen. Mallory McMorrow -Rep. Haley Stevens -Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed

Hey, @peters.senate.gov, why are my calls being dropped? I’ve tried your offices in DC, Lansing, and Detroit 5 times this morning and not been able to even leave a message. Pretty uncool way to treat constituents the day of an extremely consequential vote. P.S. vote no on cloture.

They sent her home to die because her pregnancy voided her humanity. The duty of care doesn’t exist for women if it can evaporate like this.

Dare I say this is possibly the best moment for a democrat discussing abortion on the debate stage this cycle The force and humanity with which she delivers “it’s not a talking point for women — it’s our lives.” “Do not trust him.” I can’t wait to vote for her.

The degree of voter literacy required for most opposition voters to understand that they have to decline the referenda ballot (not just leave it blank!) is staggering. In a record-turnout election, only ~40 percent of voters accepted the ballot. Polish case can teach us all a lesson.
