These are people who legally entered this country and now, because of ancestry and a conspiracy theory pushed by an aspiring politician, are being pursued by the government and fitted with special monitoring devices. This should remind of the darkest events in history.

Americans have more confidence in higher education than in big tech companies, and the gap is growing rather than shrinking. The higher ed-doomsday pundits need to get on board with the real vibe shift in public trust that is happening right now.

INTIMIDATION FAILED The FBI showed up at reporters’ homes. During dinner. Demanding they reveal confidential sources. Not because the story was false. Because it embarrassed Trump. Now the DOJ is backing down and withdrawing the subpoenas after getting hammered in court.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

The congressman also has no statement about the acceptability of genocide nor whether he agrees with attacking civilians. Who even knows where he is or what he does.. surely not his job.

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.
Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it: Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.
Dear STEPHEN HELD:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) previously found you eligible for the TSA
PreCheck™ Application program on 12/21/2020. As an individual previously found eligible for
the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program, you are subject to recurrent checks against various
databases, including law enforcement, immigration, regulatory violation, and intelligence
databases for continued eligibility. TSA has made a preliminary determination that you may no
longer be eligible to participate in the TSA PreCheck™ Application Program because you
committed certain violations of security related regulations, described below in greater detail. As
a result, TSA has preliminarily revoked your eligibility for the program.
RESULTS OF TSA'S ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to TSA PreCheck™ eligibility requirements, applicants may be ineligible to participate
due to disqualifying criminal offenses and other factors, which includes determinations that an
applicant does not pose a sufficiently low risk to transportation security. TSA considers your
conduct on or about September 27, 2025, in Terrace, Illinois, involving Assault on Certain
Officers or Employees under U.S. Code 18 USC 111, to be inconsistent with expedited
screening eligibility, which is reserved for persons known to pose a low risk to transportation
security.
This determination is distinct from any criminal or civil enforcement proceedings which may be
brought against you in conjunction with this incident.
You have not yet been disqualified from participation in the TSA PreCheck ™ Application
Program. This letter is an ineligibility determination that notifies you of the preliminary decision
made by TSA. You may inform TSA in writing of your intent to correct any information you
believe is inaccurate. TSA must receive your request to correct any information you believe to be
inaccurate within 60 calendar days of the date of this letter. If you wish to correct this
information, you must provide any…
