"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

25 arrested while protesting GOP Medicaid cuts
"You will kill me."
You'll probably see a lot of people post this story in one way or another. And I hope everyone posts it and talks about it.
#AltCitizen behavior on a national stage.
Courageous nonviolent actions in the moment in order to make a strong statement. This is not a fight we will stand down from.

More wise words from President Obama.
"It's up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be somebody who comes and saves us.
The most important office in this democracy is the citizen. The ordinary person who says, no, that's not right."
We should be out every weekend, protesting, peacefully

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.
