it is truly wild that, as the authors here note, every argument against the plain text reading of the citizenship clause requires twists, turns, contortions and leaps that would make simone biles look like an amateur

DO. NOT. BUY. THE. AI. HYPE. I cannot stress it enough. I know your grad schools are teaching it, I know there are content/tech jobs in it, and I know you're using it. But for the love of fuck, run the opposite direction.

If they can get away with doing this to Mahmoud Khalil, they can do this to literally any of us. No one is protected, no one is safe from this threat. We must all band together to oppose and end it, now!

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

It's bizarre to me to see this as a "test of #MeToo" rather than a complete vindication of the central point of the movement which is that sexual predation is exceedingly common and the perpetrators rarely held accountable.

To understand where they sent Mahmoud Khalil & why, google the Jena 6 They know exactly what they’re doing, there’s a detention center in NJ. They chose that community because of its history.

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.

It is very obvious to me, as a person who knows my own family history, that the reason the government is targeting Palestinians and their advocates is because they would very, very much like to have people blame The Jews for all this instead of blaming the Christian Nationalist fascists.

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

Several things: Anti-semitism, while abhorrent, is not a crime. An EO does not make something illegal. An EO does not usurp the First Amendment. Nor does it set law for legal permanent resident status. And “aligned with Hamas” in this context apparently means protesting genocide...

They also, as I understand it, tried to arrest his US citizen wife. So in addition to arresting and planning to deport a guy with a green card (permanent legal resident) over his free speech rights, they were about to do the same to a US citizen.

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

If the government can disappear US Permanent Residents at will then it can disappear US Citizens at will, too. No one is safe if this happens without serious consequence or a rapid reversal.

Are universities going to start speaking up? Because if they think Trump pulling back federal dollars is an existential threat, they should see what happens when no international students want to come here for fear of ending up in a MAGA concentration camp.

I’m a fan of when art and cartography mix, especially when it challenges contemporary nation/state maps and naming, (renaming things is priority #1 in claiming land), hence SABMI by Sámi artist Hans Ragnar Mathison, is something I like.

the shit the trump admin is doing now is built on shit the biden admin and democratic politicians were doing in 2023-2025. the legislation they passed falsely conflating opposition to genocide as support for terrorism. the surveillance and police violence.

Do you know how EASY it would be for every single Democrat in Congress to pick ONE DAY during their recess to go across their districts in front of bus stops, supermarkets, train stations, post offices, laundromats, public schools distributing two page fliers about what's happening in DC? SO EASY.

NYC Monday 3/10/25 - Release Mahmoud Khalil - US Permanent Resident detained by DHS for exercising free speech

submitted 14 hours ago • 12 comments

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.

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.
