Former UN official @craigmokhiber.bsky.social questioned him about the genocide in Gaza and Kennedy's recent AIPAC-backed trip to Israel.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.
/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

The Trump administration's outrageous detention of Mahmoud is designed to instill terror in students speaking out for Palestinian freedom and immigrant communities.
This is the fascist playbook. We all must fiercely reject it, and universities must start protecting its students.

The Trump administration is using claims of antisemitism to cripple universities--along w/ independent media--because they are centers of resistance to authoritarian rule. And the ADL is applauding this assault on liberal democracy. What a shameful moment in American Jewish history.

First they came for the visa holders, then the green card holders. Are citizens next? The person in question was a student who participated in last spring's protests.
