Yale’s Office of Public Affairs banned reporters from Yale’s campus today. It’s corroborated by Francie Diep in her story for the @chronicle.com. This was an attempt to squelch press coverage today of the rally protesting Yale’s attacks on freedom of expression, their pending deal with Trump. 1/

Save this view! Trump wants to bulldoze Hains Point and has already started chopping down cherry trees. An alliance of park users and conservationists is fighting him in court. Tell your member of Congress to do their job and check the Mad King.

The Trump administration has made unprecedented direct equity investments in a range of U.S. companies across critical industries such as semiconductors, critical minerals, steel, and advanced manufacturing. THAT is communism.

Trump takes a break from fear-mongering about communism to brag about seizing the means of production: "We had a problem with Intel. And we settled the problem. They gave us 10% of the company. That was worth $12 billion."

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com
Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.

The economics of this are highly suspect. If you sell your home you keep at least 80% of the sale price, likely much more given the 500k capital gains exemption for married couples. And then you can invest the proceeds to spin off income - plus no upkeep expenses.

“The efforts show the blurring of the lines between public service and private profit-seeking during Mr. Trump’s second term.” It’s not blurring of lines. There are no lines - they are using public service as a means for private profit seeking.
