Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Tomorrow, March 26, at 6 PM Eastern, Shawn Musgrave, newsroom counsel and reporter, will be doing an AMA on r/fednews (www.reddit.com/r/fednews/) about our lawsuit and all things FOIA.

Anyone can file a FOIA btw, so come learn how to do it!
“The Trump administration is trying to keep secret the actions of Elon Musk and DOGE. Americans have a right to know what they’re up to,” said Ben Muessig, our editor-in-chief. interc.pt/4j0eID4

the fact that republicans don’t seem to be concerned with getting reelected is a huge red flag right now. either they are convinced Musk will steal the next election for them (again!) or they know the plan is martial law and no elections

Lots of reporting suggested that, this time around, Trump and his lawyers would avoid the sloppy legal work that plagued his first administration so they’d fare better in the courts. I see no evidence of that in this round of executive orders. This is poor, slipshod work obviously assisted by AI.

"security" inmates held by Israel:
Jan 2023: 4,658
Jan 2024: 8,600
Jan 2025: 10,221

It's clear Israel accelerated its mass incarceration policy in anticipation of an eventual exchange. In other words, Israel took (even more) Palestinians hostage to use as bargaining chips. Many of them are children
