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...

Stop this. Trump's fascism and Republicans have nothing to do with Muslims or jihad. They are white supremacist Christian zealots. Stop using scary brown men for your analogies. It's scary white Christian men you shoujld focus on. The biggest danger in the U.S. is white and Christian men.

Not to be dismissive of the immense damage Elon Musk and his henchmen are capable of doing, but deleting a website and fucking with payment systems is script-kiddy shit. I have a feeling the amateurs are going to get ratfucked by professional rat-fuckers before too long.

The student intifada lives but the infrastructure so many colleges and universities feverishly erected to violently suppress Palestine organizing on campuses means we in higher ed have effectively handed the state the very tools they need to come after us all.
