Mister Rogers “often said that anything human is mentionable, & anything mentionable is manageable. That is an especially helpful reminder in moments I know are designed to provoke fear. The abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk is such a moment.”—From here, @daultradio.bsky.social pivots to…Gilles Deleuze? 🤔

The contempt they have for disabled children is rooted in a mistaken belief that there aren't too many of them. Estimates show that between 1-in-8 and 1-in-5 students in America have some kind of learning disability. There are an awful lot of SPED families out here, and we will fight this shit.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

In the space of one week, the Trump administration has claimed that: - attack plans of an air strike are not state secrets - the details of the kidnapping and rendition of some 300 people to a private prison in El Salvador without due process absolutely are state secrets Think about that.

The instruction to surrender was conveyed by defendants’ (DOJ) lawyers. They ordered his deportation because he filed this suit.

LA Times argues green card holders do not get Constitutional rights because they aren't citizens This is the same fascist logic used to lock up Japanese Americans, deny Jewish refugees, & commit genocide against Black & Indigenous peoples. I debunk with receipts www.qasimrashid.com/p/debunking-...

I hope someone has the good sense to scuttle the US nuclear arsenal, because at this point, it is no longer under civilian control. https://youtu.be/ZlLv_EIL9OE?si=qItLtpbi4V9mbC5g

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

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 If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails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.

This is what criminalization does - the scope has simply expanded - and why we all need to be putting refusal and resistance to criminalization at the center of our anti authoritarian/antifascist struggles.

If a university where I lived/worked/studied as an international student allowed ICE to come onto campus to kidnap a student with a green card, I would never feel safe ever coming back to said campus. Ever.

It’s hard to reconcile the “they’ll go after ideologies they don’t like next” talk with the fact they’ve been openly targeting a whole suite of them associated with Black scholarship already. They’ve already threatened to defund any university teaching critical race theory. Why doesn’t that count?

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

This case is about showing everyone that political protest and speech the government dislikes can get you arrested and kicked out of the country. It’s blatant authoritarianism.

This can not be shouted loud enough. Now is the crucial time for us to fight back, to not just call these things out but to hit the streets. Universities MUST say no to fascist intimidation and violence.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
