We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.

DOGE rolls in, demands total access without any logging, and exfiltrates unknown data, possibly including whistleblower reports, details on investigations of Musk's companies, and corporate intelligence on competitors. All while using hacker tricks to obscure what they did.

"Once you have replaced the principle of equality before the law with the idea that some people have no rights, you have granted your approval to the idea of an authoritarian government. At that point, all you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you."
