This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Insane story with insane examples. I can’t believe this is actually happening in America thanks to people like Cruz. You literally couldn’t make this stuff up:

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

It was always obvious that the right-wing moral panic around universities had nothing to do with "free speech". It was about delegitimising critical & dissenting intellectual activity, with a view to suppressing it altogether. Far too many liberals were taken in by this transparent, reactionary scam
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"[x] is a distraction" is the constant refrain of those incapable of reading politics beyond the level of the news cycle. The attack on DEI isn't a comms strategy. Its an agenda to resegregate the workforce. The trade war will also bring severe material harm to real people. All of this is important.

I hate wes streeting with the fire of a thousand suns.
BREAKING - LONG POST: A few weeks ago, a group of mums and dads were given a secret meeting with Wes Streeting. Very hush-hush. They’d written to ask if they could bring their trans kids to speak directly to the Health Minister, so he could hear first hand what banning puberty blockers would mean.

nationalising amenities has been popular for years now. a total fallacy that they’re election losers and insane starmer junked his pro nationalisation platform. the only people who are really against it are the big bosses (and all their mates that own newspapers…)
