American Concentration Camps | Chris Hedges
Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps including those in El Salvador it creates a system of detention that eschews due process and disappears citizens into black holes.

The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.
Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1
