Interview: "The Doxxing-to-Deportation Pipeline”: The Abduction & Jailing of Rümeysa Öztürk
Öztürk was abducted & jailed after co-authoring an opinion piece critical of Tufts U's response to Gaza protests.

"A year ago, the #ColumbiaPalestineEncampment sparked a national student movement that eventually spread across the globe. As the #Trump administration wages war against university students and the institutions themselves, Francesco Anselmetti argues that in the US, the campus remains a crucial site in the struggle for #PalestinianLiberation."

The Skinny is a cleaned up collection of my Fediverse blog posts; this time from April 16th to April 19th. Topics explored include Trump's ICE Gestapo, the anti-trans pogrom, signs that a Christian Nationalist purge is brewing in the Trump administration, Broligarchs, and why Seb Gorka just implied half the country are aiding and abetting terrorists by fighting back against the Trump agenda.
The Skinny: Climate of Fear and Indifference

"As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV to repeat and reinforce the US government’s fact-free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a “terrorist,” and starts characterizing people who oppose Trump’s illegal “deportation” of Garcia as folks potentially “aiding and abetting” terrorists; because again, for some mysterious reason (they’re all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are “terrorists” apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery."
Analysis: "The State Department Relied on Columbia University’s Mischaracterization of Protests to Arrest Mohsen Mahdawi"
"Columbia University refused to retract its statement calling pro-Palestine protests 'intimidation.'
"Now, the Trump administration is using it against Mohsen Mahdawi."
At the protest in question, Mahdawi had in fact confronted a man who was shouting antisemitic insults.

Interview: Harvard stands up to Trump
"This is an effort to take over the ideological agenda of the country by taking over universities. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”
~Andrew Manuel Crespo, Harvard Law School
Harvard has rejected Trump's demands to eliminate all DEI initiatives & further crack down on student protestors.
