WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism.
Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

I’ve heard the most horrible stories about this, including literally running off life support machines. What’s sad to me is the people losing this aid didn’t matter to most outlets until they could be used as a cudgel against Trump. I’ve been pitching their stories for years and getting nothing back
Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.
Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Important to remember, as history gets re-written in real time to eclipse Biden's border cruelty with Trump's, that CBP1 was a core feature of Biden's asylum ban—Trump's metering by another name.
These people would have already had asylum screening were it not for Biden.

I have been thinking a lot about how becoming more informed and aware over the next four years in a way that’s really useful might mean more books about history and less getting sucked into the daily firehose of bad news which is the present
I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely
The need to do that hasn’t changed
If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

And yet for 16 months people have been in my comments with "free the hostages." It was never about the hostages. It was only ever about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land, as it has been since 1948.
