SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

Periodic reminder that ICE administrative warrants do NOT give ICE (or anyone else) legal authority to enter your home (or anywhere not open to the public) without your consent. Unless law enforcement has a JUDICIAL WARRANT, signed by a judge, they do not have a legal right to nonconsensual entry.

I hate this fake world. They dug a deep hole in Rafah and threw children, women and men into it naked without clothes. They shot them and buried them alive, hungry and fasting in Ramadan.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

An important article! Siccing the cops on someone suing the admin is a dangerous escalation in cracking down on dissent, and a clear end-run around the judiciary.

PhD student Momodou Taal filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of two of Trump’s executive orders. Trump sent police to arrest or intimidate him. This is an outrageous violation of the rule of law and a move toward dictatorship. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

It really doesn’t matter what you thought about 10/7. If you support this kind of McCarthyism for the benefit of, and at the behest of, another nation, then just buy a fucking MAGA hat now, you’re already there

Great piece. The theme that runs through this piece and others is that the system is failing, and everyone is waiting for someone else to “do something.” We are in an interregnum between the old order and something new to come. Waiting for the bullets to fly, the calm before the storm.

Extremely concerning: A French scientist traveling to the US for a conference was detained, his phone and computer searched. He was reproached for condemning Trump's policies in personal communications, his belongings were confiscated, and he was sent home. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/n... Notice that it was her social media “likes” that caused her to come to the admin’s attn. It’s not clear what platform she used, but the owner of one platform is in the WH and the owner of another (FB) is real chummy with the WH. Avoid them at all cost.
