In addition to everything else that is wrong with this, why aren't these men wearing uniforms? They're dressed like they just came from the skateboard park and half seem to be concealing their faces. These are terror tactics, meant to inspire a penumbra of fear beyond those directly victimized.

The Department of the Navy fired a Navy veteran for responding to Elon Musk's weekly requirement for five bullets with a limerick on St. Patrick's Day

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.

Last night ICE confronted and detained a Tufts grad student, then sent her 1,400 miles away to a detention center in Louisiana. She's here legally on a student visa. Her offense of "anti-Israeli activism" appears to be an op-ed she published in the school newspaper last year in support of BDS.

This is the op-ed that the Tufts student, just arrested by ICE, co-wrote for her student paper last year. It's also the only evidence that Canary Mission, the doxxing site, cites as evidence for her "anti-Israel activism." As op-eds go, it's no big deal. At all. www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

Not that Tesla needs a reason any more for its stock to plummet but sherwood.news/tech/the-man...

A few weeks back, giant shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls had its best trading day ever. It followed President Trump’s state of the union announcement that he intended “to resurrect” the US shipbuilding industry. I noticed something, and did a bit of digging ... sherwood.news/markets/hunt...

We witnessed things like RICO charges being levied at protesters fighting cop city in ATL, mask bans that lock disabled ppl out of public life, students facing federal charges for peaceful protests, all under Democratic leadership. I wrote about how Dems set the stage for Trump's attacks on speech

just reupping this, on the Oscar-winning movie about how life under authoritarianism can feel almost normal until people start getting disappeared.

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."

The intelligence community is spying on student protesters, I reported last year. Today, the Washington Post reports that Homeland Security officials had been "gathering intelligence" on Mahmoud Khalil’s activities www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-intell...
