That's a page from Putins book.

I think we all (at least, those of us who don't write for the New York Times), understand that this has zero to do with antisemitism and everything to do with attacking a fulcrum of left wing activism.

The "they came for the Gaza protestors and we did nothing…" stage.

They "revoked" at least one student's green card and he is apparently being held in a detention center

Anywho, I’m sure it’s fine that this administration is aggressively going after universities like Columbia because they believe they are hotbeds of “woke,” unpatriotic leftism. https://bsky.app/profile/sethcotlar.bsky.social/post/3ljpwcu4qdc2f

Orthodoxy enforcement is a huge priority for our current fascist regime. And they think that fascist enforcers beating on liberal college students/protesters will be a big win for fascism on the evening news (not just faux).

They are consumed by hubris and abject cruelty.

Universities and for that matter government officials better learn fast the lesson that trying to aquiesce to fascism does not grant you special privileges down the line.

However dangerous they are now, they'll be far more dangerous later if this isn't forcefully opposed.

Reports of them targeting & detaining a Palestinian grad student. He has a green card, his wife is 8 months pregnant, they hung up on his attorney when he demanded to show what they claimed was a warrant.
