For instance, it seems to me that if Columbia holds events, now is a good time to refuse to participate in them.

The President of the United States is vowing to disappear students from college campuses who say things the government doesn't like. There are not enough alarms for this.

@BernieSanders - as he has been for 40 years - is right - the best way to understand what’s happening - Trump and his plundering oligarchs Musk Bezos Zuckerberg and others - the best frame for this madness is addiction - greed - These people are stone cold junkies - totally out of control

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."

Free Mahmoud Khalil!

Prem might be the most important journalist in America right now, the only person covering this story with the urgency it needs. Absurd that there isn't wall to wall coverage of this.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Trump just honored Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor. He also effectively proposed cutting NIH funding for cancer research. DJ was treated by doctors affiliated with Baylor, one of the top NIH-funded universities in Texas. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

If this doesn't feel like fascism to you because things are still mostly normal at work and school and the vacation is still planned, congratulations you've just learned what fascism is like. It is insidious. It will initially target only the most vulnerable — people who probably aren't like you.

This miserable fucker.

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

Staying the obvious here, but…👇 Is anyone really surprised?!

www.yahoo.com/news/nationa... More “Radical Transparency” from RFK Jr I see…

www.yahoo.com/news/trump-2... You can’t claim “Radical Transparency” while at the same time eliminate public comment!

Free Mahmoud Khalil!

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.

Being an asshole has consequences.

LRS: the reason you’re seeing so many authors have big feelings about Amazon today is that royalties just posted. If you stop buying indie books from Amazon, if you don’t make an effort to buy them elsewhere, we get stuck in this fun vortex where we don’t get to write new books.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

Scholars around the world who depend on State Department funding to participate in long-established programs like Fulbright say their payments have been abruptly cut off after getting a notice that officials were reviewing their activities.

Just let this sink in-

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

Every single Democratic Senator voted for Marco Rubio as Sec of State!

The king has decreed we shall not talk about the price of eggs and that it's ok if we suffer.

Amen to that

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man". What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

I’m looking forward to the day when this is a list of who is going to jail for treason:
