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.

I talked to an investigator who helped compile the UN's recent report on gender-based violence, including reproductive violence & other genocidal acts, committed by Israel across Palestine: “It can only be described as systematic, at this point."
In Gaza, the Gender-Based Violence Against Palestinians 'Can Only Be Described as Systematic’
UN investigator Chris Sidoti told Jezebel that the targeted attacks are "about humiliation and inflicting pain, denying Palestinians, as a people, all dignity.”

So Justin Trudeau is now saying the tariffs have been paused for 30 days as they implement a new border plan.
Basically, after the markets freaked, Trump backed off of the threats while Mexico and Canada essentially promised to do things that they were already doing.
