Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.

When we laugh about Tesla’s stock price crashing, that’s evil.

But when Elon Musk guts the US government, opposes his workers’ attempts to unionize, sexually harasses his employees, backs neo-Nazi parties, and says his trans daughter is dead, that’s just normal cool guy stuff.
Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?

Reminder from 2020 of what all the "Cancel Culture" grifters, who are almost unanimously silent as ICE continues to kidnap people, were angling for: A police state.

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts.

This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana.

If you were across the street from this, would you think the six people in masks and hoodies were law enforcement? Or would you think you were witnessing a fucking kidnapping?

Six ICE officers. For someone who wrote an op-ed.
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.

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

The Jewish president of Mexico is obviously an antisemite, it seems.
Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

The amount energy invested to have us abandon everything quaint and human is so depressing. Why are you/we/anyone even here if not to create?!

This is part of a wider move to make humanity seem disposable. Reject it like you would a free cybertruck.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

The larger picture, as others have pointed out, is that the Biden administration and now the Trump administration have cast anyone who defends Palestine as "pro-Hamas" and anyone who defends the rights of the people saying it as "Hamas sympathizers" which makes it much easier to justify persecution.
My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL!!!!!
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
