🧵My Israeli-American husband had a green card before becoming a US citizen. We went to a LOT of anti-occupation protests when he still had that green card. Perhaps the most salient part of this ⬇️ terrible story is: Had it been my Israeli green card-holding husband? It wouldn't have happened.

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?

I want to be very clear: Columbia University has completely failed at achieving the most basic responsibility of protecting its community. The doxxing campaign led by very visible Columbia affiliates is a direct violation of the institution's anti-harassment policies. Students are not safe.

So if you're on bluesky long enough to see multiple migrations from other sites, you notice how many people bring their social media habits here. It's obvious with Maddow's Facebook audience, but it's just as true with those from Twitter who just let the algorithm take them wherever.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move. “If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

This is a flagrant (and impeachable) violation of the First Amendment. And have no doubt: this is a test case. It'll get a lot worse from here if Congress doesn't act.

Public opinion is downstream of politics. You look at public opinion to see how well your messaging is doing. You don’t look at public opinion to see what your stances on issues should be. This is the basic, fundamental failure of establishment democrats.

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

Vivian Wilson reveals on 2025-03-09 that she was sex-selected prenatally by Elon Musk: "My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold." archive.ph/yyKda

You bet your ass I called my reps to take a stand on the extrajudicial disappearance of a green-card-having spouse of an American citizen If you care about me, I hope you’ll do so as well

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Trans people aren't canceling cancer research. Trans people aren't about to cause missed Social Security payments. Trans people aren't betraying Ukraine as it fights for its life. Trans people aren't causing your employer to cut staffing in response to tariffs. They just want to live to get old.

please do NOT come to the US - whether it’s for tourism, conferences, events, business etc… especially if you are non-white. if they’re already detaining white British & German tourists, it is NOT safe for BIPOC or those from marginalized groups.

Reminds me of when someone defended brutalism by saying something along the lines of 'no one should be allowed beauty until the world is not suffering'. Joy is needed to keep going, it's not a reward to earn.

This is a very important story. It is also important to understand that this is how ICE operates. They disappear people. Family members and lawyers often cannot get information from ICE about where inmates are located and they cannot contact them. It has been this way for a long time.

White women, please be on the lookout for this ish, know that we're obligated to be the frontline of shutting it down. Much history of the abuse of Global Majority women comes from defining WW as fragile/delicate/must be protected/ "feminine" & the baseline of womanhood & it's harmful bullshit.

Of all the unspoken assumptions we all thought held down civilization, but are finding out were just sugar plum dreams, one of the most subtly disturbing is that the rich folk in charge valued living luxuriously in a developed society over the simple pleasure of drinking the blood of the poor.
