SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

NEW—Mahmoud Khalil's wife:
"I was born & raised in the Midwest. My parents came here from Syria…They believed living in the US would bring a sense of safety & stability. But here I am…weeks before I’m due to give birth to our first child…I feel more unsafe & unstable than I have in my entire life."

Big update for those who missed it earlier. Notably, I haven't seen any indication that ICE was planning to remove him without going through normal procedures involving a full removal court hearing, but just in case, this stops them from attempting to do so.

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."

"I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm."

Democrats are already genocidal fascists.

See: Unwavering support for Palestinian genocide
These elected Democrats who want to join Republicans in their genocidal incitement against trans people bc they think it will help them get votes make me sick.

First of all, they're WRONG. And second they're literally joining forces w genocidal fascists and saying "it's just the smart thing to do."

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Maher. Maher is from Gaza City and was displaced from his home and is now living with his wife, mother and brother in a tent. It is not properly secured for the winter and they are having a hard time finding enough food.

i think the democratics party strategy of appealing to no one but the people they’re supposedly running against to defeat while alienating their own base is probably going to work out long term

Am I being lazy and following people here one by one as they post their handle, instead of using a tool to make it easier? Also yes 👍

Yes I've been here a while but no one else was really, yes I follow you on Twitter, and yes what you see here is different than that profile. (and no I will not be elaborating any further 😆)

Another day of rage and grief which I have nowhere to put. Glory to the martyrs and the resistance.
