New — Donald Trump celebrates the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, calls him "a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student," and says "This is the first arrest of many to come."
The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.
They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.
Your door could be next.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community.
More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came *after* the attack.
It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.
A powerful artist and activist. Just everything about this woman and her poetry was good and clean and straight truth. She pushed us. She’d cut you and then smile to show that she’d done it with love.

A women-led team of 20, working remotely, is showing up a trillion dollar megacorp. Truly inspiring.
When non-Jews picture Jewish law, they often think about being bogged down in details, being clueless about the big picture, what really matters.
But we have a principle, “going beyond the letter of the law,” that informs our deep ethics & can be crucial for everyone during this new, terrible era:
