The DOJ just forced out UVAs president. Its time to take a stand.
Its sad, and dangerous, that the Trump administration took this step.

Regarding The Posts June 27 online news article U-Va. president tells board hell resign amid Trump administration pressure:
It is hard for me to tell whether I am more disturbed by the Trump administrations decision to pressure James E. Ryan to resign as president of the University of Virginia to punish the school for Ryans dedication to the values of diversity, equity and inclusion or by Ryans resignation.
As head of the executive branch of our government, President Donald Trump has the right to set policies of organizations that he controls. And if DEI is deemed to be damaging to these agencies, he can demand its cessation such efforts have been a hallmark of Pete Hegseths tenure as secretary of defense. Trump and his Justice Department should not have the ability to ask a university president to resign because he may or may not have complied with a decision by the universitys Board of Visitors.
The fact that the University of Virginias governing body is largely composed of appointees installed by a highly partisan Republican governor is a factor in the boards decision. But this is another sad reminder of how our president has sought to remake educational institutions, no matter how esteemed and valuable they may be and no matter how well they have governed themselves and educated generations of students.

Bill Moyers: A Lifetime Preserved at the Library of Congress
June 27, 2025, Posted by:
Bill Moyers, who died yesterday at the age of 91, to mark the preservation of more than 1,000 of his public television programs in , a collaboration between the Library and the Boston public media producer GBH.
His relationship with the Library went back to the summer of 1954, he told the packed auditorium, when he was a 19-year-old from a little town in Texas, in D.C. for a summer internship with U.S. Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson.

On his first day, Johnsons top aide took him to the Librarys as the place to do his background work for Johnsons policies and work on Capitol Hill.
I came over and I was shown what they do, its incredible, Moyers told the crowd, 69 years later. All summer, I was much smarter than anyone knew I was because it was coming from the Congressional Research Service Ive been a fan of the research office and the process here and the Library all my life.
The night was a crowning moment to one of the most influential careers in American media. The AAPB collection , an invaluable look at American history as it was happening.
The collection will allow viewers for generations to come to see what mattered to us over the years, he told the Library, and how we covered our times through the stories of contemporary democracy and its struggle to survive and thrive as well as the perceptions of many of our societys foremost thinkers and creators.
Moyers, born during the Depression in Hugo, Oklahoma, became an ordained Baptist minister and picked up a journalism degree from the University of Texas after his internship with Johnson. He worked for the Peace Corps and then returned to work for Johnson after he became president, eventually serving as his press secretary from 1965 to 1967.

Il nuovo piano fiscale di Trump scatena le critiche di Musk: Folle e distruttivo, eliminer milioni di posti di lavoro

Letters from an American June 27,2025 -Heather Cox Richardson

Letters from an American, June 27, 2025
By Heather Cox Richardson
After the Supreme Court today decided the case of Trump v. CASA, limiting the power of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions, President Donald Trump claimed the decision was a huge victory that would permit him to end birthright citizenship, that is, the principle that anyone born in the United States, with very limited exceptions, is a U.S. citizen. To reporters, he claimed: If you look at the end of the Civil Warthe 1800s, it was a very turbulent time. If you take the end daywas it 1869 Or whatever. But you take that exact day, thats when the case was filed. And the case ended shortly thereafter. This had to do with the babies of slaves, very obviously.
This is a great example of a politician rooting a current policy in a made-up history. There is nothing in Trumps statement that is true, except perhaps that the 1800s were a turbulent time. Every era is.
The Fourteenth Amendment that established birthright citizenship came out of a very specific moment and addressed a specific problem. After the Civil War ended in 1865, former Confederates in the American South denied their Black neighbors basic rights. To try to remedy the problem, the Republican Congress passed a civil rights bill in 1866 establishing that all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians, not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States and such citizens of every race and colorshall have the same rights in every State and Territory in the United States.
But President Andrew Johnson, who was a southern Democrat elected in 1864 on a union ticket with President Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, vetoed the 1866 Civil Rights Bill. While the Republican Party organized in the 1850s to fight the idea that there should be different classes of Americans based on race, Democrats tended to support racial discrimination. In that era, not only Black Americans, but also Irish, Chinese, Mexican, and Indigenous Americans, faced discriminatory state laws.
In contrast to the Democrats, Republicans stated explicitly in their 1860 platform that they were opposed to any change in our naturalization laws or any state legislation by which the rights of citizens hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad.

Supreme Court ruling expands Trumps power and he intends to use it BBC News

Supreme Court ruling expands Trumps power and he intends to use it
1 day ago, by Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent
Video on article
The Supreme Court on Friday handed a significant victory to Donald Trump and future American presidents when curbing lower courts power to block executive orders.
President Trump was beaming as he addressed reporters at the White House briefing room podium, calling it a big, amazing decision which the administration is very happy about.
He said it was a monumental victory for the constitution, the separation of powers and the rule of law.
The courts decision not only impacts Trumps birthright citizenship order, but also emboldens him to enact many of his other policy actions that have been temporarily thwarted by similar injunctions.
Impact on birthright citizenship
The Supreme Court has opened the door for the Trump administration to no longer grant automatic citizenship to everyone born on American soil at least for the moment. Now the White House will have to implement its plan, which will be no easy task.
On Friday, the nations highest court allowed Donald Trumps executive order to end birthright citizenship to go into effect in a months time, while leaving room for lower courts to curb the impact on those who have standing to sue.
States traditionally handle processing birth certificates, and many do not record the citizenship of the parents. Democratic-run state governments will be in no rush to do so, no matter what the Trump administration may desire.
And Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, left the door open for states to make the case that a more broad block on Trumps birthright citizenship action is necessary.
Video on article
That sets up big legal battles to come.
As the States see it, their harms financial injuries and the administrative burdens flowing from citizen-dependent benefits programs cannot be remedied without a blanket ban on the enforcement of the Executive Order, Barrett wrote.
The lower courts should determine whether a narrower injunction is appropriate, so we leave it to them to consider these and any related arguments.
President Trump described the courts decision on Friday as a giant win.
He added that the birthright citizenship hoax has been indirectly, hit hard and that the decision would prevent scamming of our immigration process.
Trumps Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday that the Supreme Court will decide whether the US will end birthright citizenship in October during its next session.
