The difference between doing something big and something small is one of scale; maybe you can only do 1/10th, or 1/100th of what you want to. But the difference between doing something small and doing NOTHING is infinite. That's just math. ∞ Do something, and do infinite times more than nothing.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2):

“It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care.

Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2):

“According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

“As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”

HAPPENING NOW: 1000+ U.S. Jews are outside ICE headquarters in NYC demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil and protest the Trump-Musk deportation agenda. We are Jews for freedom and democracy saying #FreeMahmoud

a large crowd of protestors in a city square holding signs, most prominently a sign saying "JEWS FOR JUSTICE"

speakers gathered on steps in the city square. banners with white on black text read: "Jewish & Palestinian Safety Are Intertwined", "First They Came For Mahmoud", and "Safety In Solidarity, Not Authoritarians". In the foreground, we see press photographers from the back, facing the speakers.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

there is no proof khalil distributed hamas fliers. there is no proof khalil advocates for violence. there is no proof that khalil has a leadership role in cuad. there are only his own words disavowing antisemitism recorded a year ago and the presumption that because he is palestinian he is guilty.

Regardless of your past involvement in any protests, this should be very concerning for anyone who understands what the First Amendment was designed to protect us from. What this government tries to get away with next will be determined by what we allow them to get away with right now.

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement. This is a huge win for workers and unions — and a crucial reminder that Trump is not all-powerful. Keep up the fight.

Straight fire here from Ta-Nehisi Coates about the Democratic Party. "If you can’t stand up against genocide, why should I believe you can stand up for democracy?” (thx @guyoron.net)

Full sentence:
“If you can stand by and ship 2,000 pound bombs to be dropped on hospitals, to be dropped on schools, to watch on your TVs as people hooked up to IVs are burned alive; if you know people are being kidnapped and taken into prisons and raped and tortured; if you are talking about

As a remedy to the existential dread plaguing us all, might I suggest adopting a dog? You will still be sad and anxious but you will now have a cute weird little creature in your house who adores you and depends on you to survive and smells bad and makes you go outside with her several times a day

This is the first economic analysis I’ve read in years that actually attempts to address reality. It obvi doesn’t behoove an economist to speak unfavorably of other economists, but the fact that this article is *just now* being written is such a shameful reflection of how out-of-touch the field is.
