"fell silent" as in "hiding out somewhere else because they do not want to be deported by the modern day gestapo"

remember when the nyt couldnt shut the fuck up about pro israel students being deadly afraid of entering campus? Turns out those are the only students whose fear matters. The ones being arrested without charge and deported are fine i guess

"International students fall silent" fucking international students are literally hiding out in people's apartments because ICE is turning over the dorms. They're not silent they are hiding from the SS in a crawlspace for fuck's sake. There are literally men with guns who want to send them to camps.

It’s because most Americans have NO idea what a precious gift it is. NO IDEA AT ALL.
My mother -who has lived here for over over 50 years- still marvels wherever she watches SNL make fun of US presidents. It’s still unbelievable to her, after all these years.

Sounds like the situation in every other Western society I know, in fact. Generally, I think American media is more deferential toward people in power than that in many other Western countries.

I was talking w an artist/art professor last nite and there’s a chill on campus. We talked 🏳️‍⚧️ life a lot. And the students are hesitant/scared to express themself fully

Yeah, if he can do this to green card holders he absolutely will do it to US Citizens too

transmutedmala.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s up for US citizens to step up. There is NO safety in allowing fascists to takeover without a fight

It’s hard to ask them to be on the frontline of potentially being sent to a US black site.

The eerie sound of silence

Too many regular people either don’t know this is happening or don’t care.

hazelazureus.bsky.social•9 days ago

is this skeet implying it is the obligation of the victims of targeted arrests to draw attention to themselves and their cause?

ileolai.bsky.social•9 days ago
