Immigration court arrests are likely going to continue this week, with dozens of people around the country each day who were doing exactly what the government asked being arrested and thrown in detention and stripped of their right to a hearing because ICE wants to juice the numbers.
A Bronx high schooler showed up for a routine immigration court date. ICE was waiting.

The very first US strike in Yemen under the new Trump administration, carried out on the evening of 15 March (and the subject of *that* Signal group chat), hit Al Jaraf in the north of the capital, killing at least 13 civilians and injuring nine.
One week of US strikes in Yemen under the Trump administration killed at least 25 civilians, including 4 children. 55% of strikes hit civilian sites. Targets bombed included: medical storage facility, medical centre, school, wedding hall, residential areas & Bedouin tents

One reason the Democrats are not inspiring much confidence as an “opposition party” is that their leader supports a fascist crackdown by his own political opponents because it aligns with his personal support for an apartheid foreign government.
Chuck Schumer is very clear that he and the Democratic Party are not going to come to the aid of higher education against Trump’s assault. He agrees with it. Quibbles on details but supports forcing universities to crack down harder against alleged antisemitism.

The level of antisemitism like actual antisemitism against Jews that people are willing to tolerate for the sake of Israel is truly extraordinary.
And I'm not even addressing the racism against Palestinians here.
