Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions.
"Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

What is important here is that Rubio makes no allegation that the student did anything wrong beyond being "part of a movement" that engaged in protest or rioting. By that measure, are all Republicans guilt of the January 6 riot?
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Rubio's operating standard is that being in any way associated with a protest movement is grounds for deportation. He makes no effort to suggest the student has done anything more specific or is a real danger. It is a direct assault on free speech, including for permanent residents.

Whenever I post about climate, skeptical folks inevitable respond with this graph. So I decided to do something radical: actually read the underling scientific paper and ask the authors.

Tens of thousands of boaters will now take to the waters to wave their MAGA flags only to be caught in rough water, dangerous winds and surprise storms. #NOAA is the most dependable source of weather info and gutting it will be just one of the small ways people’s lives get worse.
