"Dragged from his car on a January night in 2023 for alleged reckless driving on a dark Memphis road. Five officers beat Nichols mercilessly, fists crashing into his face, boots smashing his ribs, a baton splitting the air and cracking against his skull." slate.com/news-and-pol...

in addition to the fact that america had concentration camps on its own soil well before wwii (the trail of tears being a march of native americans from one internment camp to the next), germany established oranienburg, esterwegen, dachau, and lichtenburg six years before invading poland.

For those who still think this bid to undermine American universities has anything to do with antisemitism, consider the MTA. It's the same story! Blue cities, independent universities, law firms, etc. are guilty—and Trump/Musk perform the accusation by summarily (illegally) slashing federal funds.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

The number of liberals gleefully chiding Arab Americans for their responses to the agonizing dilemma of having two genocidaires to choose between is sickening.

Mass protests in Indiana as hundreds stepped up to stand against tyranny. The demonstrations were sparked after Trump collaborator Gov. Braun signing an executive order, directing law enforcement to aid ICE ethnic cleansing operations. #3E #USprotests #ICE "Who's the criminal? Donald Trump!"

Protests that are useful in this moment involve institutions that have pre-complied because they can be bullied into reversing course. They are good targets of protest.
