The battle over Harvard will not be solely about education but the actual existence of all civil society institutions. If Trump can get away with arbitrarily defunding Harvard and revoking its nonprofit status, he can do it to any organization from universities to the ACLU to Catholic Charities.

While this statement is not in and if itself admissible to court, it can be used as a basis for further discovery!

Fascism is here. Due process is dead. The Supreme Court is a hollow husk.

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.

Trump suggests stripping Harvard's 501(c)3 status as political retribution for standing up to him. It will not stop with Harvard, the goal is to do this to all civil society organizations that oppose him, including orgs like the ACLU. He's trying to destroy all political opposition.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Mahmoud Khalil was a breaking point, the vertex of so many contradictions. Now, Mohsen Mahdawi presents one more chance for all of us in this country to look at each other, and to know this is not what we choose to be part of. There is nothing to be done in this moment except everything.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

one of the more blatant, in your face fascistic moments trumps 2nd term has had yet, and that’s saying something. they are telling us they love that they are openly doing crimes against humanity. if the world doesn’t prosecute every single person involved in this, it will be a failure of humanity

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

The White House is refusing to answer questions from reporters with preferred pronouns in email signatures. Several officials have cited policy in doing so, but it’s unclear if that is personal or official. Reporters from The New York Times and other outlets have experienced the snubs.

She stood up to extremists and won – helping to flip the chamber blue for the first time in 40 years. She’s helped save lives by passing a law to allow for the removal of guns from someone in the midst of a mental health crisis, raising wages, and getting rid of the state’s abortion ban.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.
