Let's stop using anodyne labels like "the immigration debate" or "controversy over migrants" and start referring to things accurately. "Expelling children who, by law, are entitled to remain in the country" or "imprisoning toddlers in concentration camps" or "pogrom"

It’s really fucked up we told generations of kids they had to take out personal loans in order to improve their lives as we cut funding to schools and when that turned out to be bullshit the general consensus has been “fuck those kids”

Team Trump likes to tout the sky-high number of arrests they are making in DC. But these arrests are often an unconstitutional mess — and DC Courts are the ones who have to clean it up.

This is just a terrible take. Large chunks of the US government have been destroyed and rebuilding is the first order priority to ensure people get the services they need. The second to make sure it never happens again. Efficiency? Nope. We need a Marshall Plan for the US.

In times like these, it’s vital to know who will stand up for democracy and justice and who will cower and capitulate. Students, faculty, alumni and staff are on the right side of history. The Yale president and trustees are collaborators and their names will live in infamy.
