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.

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“
New — All Department of Defense agencies were sent a video of an agitated Pete Hegseth debunking supposedly fake media stories. Today at least one agency called an “emergency” town hall and forced employees to watch the propaganda.

Beyond threat--they are being damaged every damn day now.
Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world:
1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control
2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research
3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest”
All three are under threat.
