French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated. Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Trump and Musk are going after Columbia for "antisemitism" and Hopkins for "DEI" and Penn for "trans spts". Why those issues? Because this is the start of an authoritarian soft takeover of ALL universities. Those issues are just politically convenient because they draw some support from Dems. 1/

One of the hardest things about being a progressive in 2025 is not realizing that certain people you love would have been Nazis in the 1940s, but that they would have been one of the German citizens who had to be dragged to the concentration camps before they believed the Nazis had been that bad.

Fascinating that someone as single-mindedly power hungry as Gavin Newsom was incapable of recognizing that he COULD have become an extremely powerful anti-Trump warlord almost instantly if he’d gone hard in that direction. Instead, he irretrievably shot himself in the dick by starting a podcast.

That is exactly the right take. Advocating for things like Universal Healthcare (aka, everyone getting to benefit from our labor) is critical to regain public trust in our guild.

Universities need to treat the Trump administration's hostage lists as organizing lists. A large majority of the universities on these lists should issue a JOINT public response making clear that they won't give in and why they're right not to. That creates space for the rest of the sector to join.

This is 24 hours apart. Never forget this. They are liars. Their resistance is fake. They want to be powerless so they can reap the rewards of pretending to resist while risking nothing and attempting nothing. They are the reason the country is where it is and we won't be safe until they're gone.

It is time to get creative in torturing US Senators. They presumably go to restaurants, get on planes, go in and out of cars, and other tasks that leave them publicly available. Every minute of that (yes, even with their families) should be the greatest misery anyone has ever known without violence.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

in the runup to the Ukraine war, US conservatives were jacking themselves off to footage of Russian VDV guys doing hand to hand combat. Then 90% of those guys were wiped out in the first day of the war because it turns out hand to hand combat isn't very important if they shoot your helicopter down

I can well understand wanting to out-group horrible people who you would otherwise identify with. Nobody wants that stank on them, after all. But the whole underlying concept that the in-group are automatically virtuous is one of the most toxic and destructive ideas that humans ever came up with.
