Most #pharmaceuticals are made at least in part in foreign nations#Trump has been saying for weeks that he plans to impose #tariffs specifically on pharmaceuticals….He has said those levies could be 25% or higher. Drugmakers still expect tariffs targeting them to be announced soon.
“The pharmaceutical companies are going to come roaring back, …to our country because if they don’t, they got a big tax to pay,” Trump said Wed.

"If you are taking photos or videos of people at the protest, be mindful of what you post. If you post photos online where protesters or bystanders’ faces are identifiable, law enforcement or vigilantes might track them down and arrest or harass them. Obscure the faces of anyone in the image. There are a handful of ways to do this:"

"#Harvard has suffered real legal setbacks in recent years, including a major [#SCOTUS] loss on affirmative action, and some stakeholders may be leery of another public fight…But a 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now — with the law squarely on its side — is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good. Filing suit would also enhance Harvard’s legal position going forward, as any retaliation by the administration would be an even clearer violation of the First Amendment."

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do itJenny Kleeman (The Guardian)

New report confirms BlackRock’s big fossil fuel problem
As long as Blackrock is the top investor in fossil fuel development, Larry Fink’s sustainability claims will remain hollow and hypocritical.Audrey Fox (Friends of the Earth)
“President Trump’s team is selectively stripping away the public record, reconstructing his preferred vision of America in the negative space of purged history, archivists and historians said. As data and resources are deleted or altered, something foundational is also at risk: Americans’ ability to access and evaluate their past, and with it, their already shaky trust in facts.“

#ICE is the #Gestapo: "On Friday, (3.7), while on a Zoom call w/an ISSO advisor who continues to reassure me that I was in legal status, ICE came knocking @ my door w/o a warrant. If I had been alone I would have opened the door. My roommate, an American citizen, recognized the knock as that of law enforcement. Given the lack of warrant she refused to let them in & repeatedly asked them to identify themselves; something they refused to do."
