“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, “———-Supreme Court clears deportations to conflict-ridden South Sudan www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The Supreme Court on Thursday reinforced its order allowing the Trump administration to deport migrants to countries other than their own without a “meaningful opportunity” to raise fear-based claims of torture.
The court’s action clears the way for the deportation of eight men being held in a makeshift detention center at a U.S. naval base in East Africa to conflict-ridden South Sudan. Their fate was unclear after the justices initially gave the go-ahead in late June for Trump officials to deport immigrants to t

state troopers and police in general overwhelmingly support Trump and back these policies. the cops are not going to save you or anyone from the cops.

Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

Harvard has dismissed the faculty leaders of its Center for Middle Eastern Studies due to the specious claim of ‘antisemitism’ for a ‘failure to represent [genocidal] Israeli perspectives.’

www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
Interim Harvard Dean of Social Science David M. Cutler ’87 dismissed the faculty leaders of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies on Wednesday, according to a faculty member familiar with the situation — a dramatic shakeup at a center that has come under fire for its programming on Israel and Palestine. The CMES’ director, professor of Turkish Studies Cemal Kafadar, and its associate director, History professor Rosie Bsheer, were both forced to leave their posts, according to the faculty member. Global Health professor Salmaan A. Keshavjee — the center’s interim director while Kafadar was on leave — will continue to hold his post. The departures come after the CMES has repeatedly faced public criticism from Harvard affiliates who have alleged that some of the center’s programming has been antisemitic and has failed to represent Israeli perspectives.

Columbia University’s Board of Trustee co-chair and new Acting President Claire Shipman appeared on stage at AIPAC’s 2018 conference.

(And look who Sen. Coons — who appeared with Shipman — led a bill with to send more aid to Israel):
Tweet from Sen. Chris Coons (1) Great to appear on the @AIPAC 2018 Policy Conference main stage w/ Claire Shipman on why the U.S. needs to protect its democratic ally in the Middle East, Israel. Together, we must enhance our strong military deterrent in the face of threats from Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, & ISIL. (2) .@marcorubio and I introduced S.2497, the U.S. Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act, which will authorize $3.3 billion in security assistance for Israel, extend access to war reserve stockpiles, and extend loan guarantees to Israel.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will.
