Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
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.

It's campus protestors now,
but next it'll be those protesting the climate crisis,
then those protesting abortion bans,
then anti-LGBTQ laws,
then social safety net cuts,
then anyone protesting the rollbacks of our rights.
Their goal is to crush any and all dissent.

We need to start understanding oligopoly control of mass media as a form of antitrust violation: they’re using broad market power to keep people from acting in their best interests.
One of the major problems with billionaires owning major media is that it literally does not matter if they are profitable. They can take a loss on them because the propaganda and narrative control is worth every penny.
Bezos isn't trying to make the Washington Post successful, obviously. He's trying to turn it into his Twitter.

Today it's Palestine, tomorrow it's "gender ideology", the next day it's the Luigi Mangione meme you liked on Instagram
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

That is correct.
Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.
