How Has Education Enriched Your Life?

6 days ago | americaamerica.news | Steven Beschloss

I've been lingering over the hopeful words this week of conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig that Harvard University's refusal to capitulate to Trump is of "momentous significance" and should be "the turning point"-empowering universities, law firms and other institutions to push back against the vengeful regime.
The Dead End of Capitulation

1 week ago | americaamerica.news | Steven Beschloss

I'll never get over the sickening sight on Inauguration Day as the billionaires stood behind Donald Trump falsely mouthing his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. There was Jeff Bezos of Amazon. There was Mark Zuckerberg of Meta. There was Tim Cook of Apple and Sundar Pichai of Google. Maybe they believed their kowtowing in advance would ensure the security of their fortunes and the well-being of their companies.
Harvard's Fierce Act of Defiance

1 week ago | americaamerica.news | Steven Beschloss

Many of us ask every day, what can I do to oppose Donald Trump and his fascist regime? Well, yesterday, Harvard University stood up and showed what they could do when the dictatorial Trump tried to make Harvard capitulate to his hostile, anti-American demands. It was an act of courage-putting at risk over $2 billion in federal funding-and sorely needed after Trump's heinous plot revealed in our Oval Office yesterday to illegally deport American citizens to El Salvador's gulag.
"Home-Growns Are Next"

The President of El Salvador, who conspired with the President of the United States to kidnap a Maryland resident and hold him hostage in a horrific El Salvador prison, did not hesitate when asked if he would help return him. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?" President Nayib Bukele chillingly asked in our Oval Office today in response to reporters.
Taking It to the People

There's a lot to appreciate about 83-year-old Sen. Bernie Sanders these days. After several months of " Fighting Oligarchy " rallies with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders spoke to an estimated 36,000 people in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon, then showed up at the Coachella music festival later that night. He had come to deliver a warning and a request from the youthful crowd of music lovers.
Whose America Is This Anyway?

This has been a tough week for those who believe that diversity is our strength, immigration built America, we should take pride in our capacity for generosity and decency, and free speech and due process are at the heart of our commitment to democracy and justice. The Trump regime continues to prove that cruelty and the desecration of these basic principles and rights is its purpose.
Donald Trump Is Not Invincible

It was just eight days ago when Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appeared on CNN to display maximum sycophancy to a man whose companies have gone bankrupt six times, including three casinos (for crying out loud). This was the morning after Trump stood next to a list of planned tariffs based on fabricated numbers meant to prove that America is "being ripped off." And what happened on that Thursday when suck-up Lutnick said we should all trust Donald Trump to run the global economy?
Law Firms and Universities Must Act with Courage, Not Cowardice

2 weeks ago | americaamerica.news | Steven Beschloss

This short On-Target video by Mark Jacob and me looks at a New York Times editorial (gift link here) calling on universities and law firms to refuse to surrender to Trump's intimidation campaign. To say the least, The Times has a checkered record in its reporting on the rise of MAGA fascism, but it's on solid ground here. Trump's control over universities and law firms is not inevitable. In fact, courageous, principled people can fight back and win. This is a time for solidarity.
How to Write About Politics Without Losing Your Mind

Thank you to the more than 1,100 of you who joined me yesterday afternoon for my live conversation with -part of the Narratively Academy's seminar series. We chatted about how to be fearless in your writing, how to cultivate an engaged audience, how to avoid feeling overwhelmed, why we cannot give in to doubt and despair-and much more.
The Resistance Must Be Loud and Clear

2 weeks ago | americaamerica.news | Steven Beschloss

On Saturday, a million or more Americans -including many of you-proved we are not about to let a despotic minority of self-serving oligarchs and kleptocrats, miscreants and sycophants determine our future without a fight. The "Hands Off!" protests in every state and hundreds of cities and towns across America were both an opportunity to express our anger and demonstrate the beauty of coming together to stand up and speak out.
