every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

And what do we call that, friends? That's right: resilience targeting. It's an attack and should be treated as such

Well everybody, you cannot say you weren't warned.
Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

I'm sure the Free Speech Warriors are all over this. Oh wait sorry I was huffing paint, I forgot for three seconds that they are craven grifters with less intellectual consistency than Charles Manson getting offered a record deal.

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker

Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition.

If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

this is such an obvious game of bullshit and it makes me insane that anyone falls for it. weird how schools are no longer "meritocratic" when they are trying to attract more black and hispanic students, but are perfectly meritocratic when they're not.
like, this is one of those things that actually drives me a little crazy. dipshits will say that we want to return to the era when merit was what mattered. but when, exactly, was that? the 1970s? the 1980s? UVA only *became* meritocratic when it became a school for all Virginians.

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.
