So I’ve mostly ignored this person, because obviously you wanna get on this app and say that matty et al are persecuted, you clearly have a humiliation thing going, and I don’t need to participate in that. But I do want to say something about this.

It's as American as chattel slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, and Indian Boarding Schools. Project 2025 really isn't relying on any other history than America's. I need y'all to tap into what has been happening here all along.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

This is also totally false; multiple people who definitely never had their email “provided” by someone with humanitarian parole got the email. It’s clear DOGE used the wrong dataset.

Sobering analysis by @nature.com on the Trump administration's NIH cuts. ~ 800 research projects have been terminated with research on HIV/AIDS, health disparities, transgender health, vaccines and COVID-19 being hit hardest, with some labs forced to close entirely. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There was a poll of South Carolina republicans in 2016 that said 40% support overturning the 13th amendment. It’s not a secret. It’s just that we can’t coexist with these people and violence is scary but we’re the nonviolence party so we gotta just disassociate until the first shots are fired.

One of the hallmarks of Trump, his admin, and abusers in general is they do a whole bunch of immoral/unethical/illegal stuff, which they escalate into something so egregious that people call for the most egregious crime to end, but become more lax and permissive around the other stuff.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Two grad students at my institution have had visas revoked, no info on UGs. The administration reports that these incidents are random and, nationally, they are NOT following a particular pattern. This appears to be random rather than targeting only activists or students from particular countries.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?
