UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Columbia is welcoming ICE agents into their campus, with or without warrants, and instructing faculty not to interfere with their operations to arrest, harass, or deport students. It is clear now that Columbia will take no action to protect students on visas or with green cards.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.

Today I saw a high level of anger at the massive number of cops that are protecting a Tesla dealership in Chicago. Lots of chants demanding to know why they are protecting Nazis. No one is letting CPD off the hook. This is what cops do - enable and participate in fascism. #Teslatakedown.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

To the folks who were like, "Well, Charlie Kirk does have a point about trans kids and sports," THIS is the road that kind of thinking leads down and why you have to nip that shit in the bud. You do not, under ANY circumstances, have to agree with a Nazi even just a little.

NPR's version of covering the situation in Palestine is to let the US government have its say and to have NPR (pro-Israel) summarize the Hamas position. @npr.org = unethical journalism, corrupt journalism.

This can be an area where scientism obscures more basic political dynamics, e.g. if a progressive wins a primary I would simply act like they are a normie Democrat and give them money instead of preemptively abandoning their races and undermining them behind the scenes.

I desperately hope NYC voters understand ranked choice voting this time around, because the current mayor hates New York City, he's hiring a deputy who hates New York City, and Andrew Cuomo hates New York City. And like Adams, Cuomo doesn't even live here.

How one of my Trump-supporting relatives responded to the layoffs at the VA: "People lose their jobs all the time. Nobody cried for me when I lost my job before." Miserable people who want others to be miserable too and will rationalize away anything.

What happened to congressman John Lewis' good trouble? See that's what happens when democrats coopt radicalism when they're actually not about the business. They had good trouble right in front of them in Al Green. They said, we're good lying down for Trump going by the playbook he tramples on.
