Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.
Heba Gowayed هبة جويدMy Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
The inhumane cruelty of this administration, steeped in white supremacy, fills me with helpless rage, embarassment, and sadness.
Catherine RampellThe Trump administration launched a plan Tuesday to channel hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers directly into deportation proceedings, a change that some attorneys said could lead to people being removed from the United States without a hearing. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
“Warning: the exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don’t want you to love your country.” New signage coming to the Smithsonian uses language of a gaslighting abuser. We are in an age of American authoritarianism. Excellent piece (gift) by @philipkennicott.bsky.social wapo.st/45t93R6
This is what happens when you replace experts with techbros using AI. It’s insulting, embarrassing, and massively damaging to US reputation capital.
Alt USAID/ USAID ForeverWe can't even. "A senior US State Department official displayed a map of Africa that was completely wrong before high-level officials from African nations, including some whose countries had been mislabelled." open.substack.com/pub/emilysba...
Wow. I have so many questions. What does node size represent? It appears that this is some kind of bespoke layout rather than one that is algorithmically designed. I assume Nvidia would appear to be a central node under a FR layout, or something, but would be nice to see. Is the author taking notes?

I look forward to all the reports & coverage about all of the internal problems & mistakes of all of these other institutions, in the same way that universities are constantly blamed (& blaming themselves) for “declining trust.” “Compared to what?” news.gallup.com/poll/712436/...
Mark Copelovitch“Compared to what?” is always the essential question when asking about critiques of higher education & universities, whether we’re discussing declining trust, freedom of speech, viewpoint diversity, or any of the other things.

an ideologically driven effort to destroy an independent institution and replace its serious and broad-minded approach to american history with MAGA slop
Today, in violations of the rule of law that would be sufficient for impeachment in any other American presidency but aren't in this one because pathological partisan loyalty has rotted the constitutional order:
tony rommNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
Much of what ails US politics stems from dysfunctional political parties and people who feel disconnected from their government. I join more than 500 political scientists in asking Congress to enact a solution: make proportional representation a reality in the US. medium.com/@scholars-re...

Maybe we could take a break from ALWAYS finding a way to criticize Democrats for Republican malfeasance. There is virtually nothing Beshear can do to change this situation. Place the blame where it belongs.
Steven BeschlossThe longer Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear fails to find out what’s happening or what happened with Mitch McConnell—and act—the more Beshear looks utterly incompetent and weak.
