Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

The Existential Threat of Ultra-Billionaires A handful of rich guys will burn human society to the ground rather than pay a dime in tax.

billionaires pay functionally no taxes. Kamala Harris halfheartedly promised to impose some. in response they spent $2.42 billion to elect a criminal madman president prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Hossam Shabbat smiling

There is a hole in my heart the size of the universe. Hossam Shabbat should have been a senior in journalism school. It was a great honor of my life to correspond with this sensitive young man, who showed us all what journalism can and should be. God have mercy on us all.

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

My x feed reports of field executions carried out by Israeli forces on people in tents

Palestinians being forced to evacuate on foot
Not allowed to use cars reports people were forced off a bus

Images of elderly sick children all forced to walk

Still a blockade on food

Gaza is still being bombed

Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations against other students.

Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

AOC Rips “Tyrannical and Un-American” Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a serious warning about the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist (and U.S. green card holder) Mahmoud Khalil.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move.

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

Mahmoud Khalil's Detention Is A War on Terror Milestone ICE turned a campus activist for Palestine into a political prisoner. Witness a coalescence of several post-9/11 currents that threaten your most basic freedoms

Mahmoud Khalil has become a political prisoner for protesting a US-backed genocide. His detention heralds new vistas of repression made possible by institutions and technological developments begun by the War on Terror.

On Thursday, Columbia issued a revised protocol for how students and school staff should handle agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seeking to enter private school property.

The school said ICE agents without a judicial arrest warrant may be allowed to enter its private property in "exigent circumstances," which it did not specify.

Columbia University is colluding with Nazi terrorists and other fascists to disappear its own students:

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Young men fall into the Tate brothers grift because the Tates offer them a means to excel without doing any of the hard work and introspection. They teach men that being a lonely weirdo is necessary to get ahead, and that you have to be an aggressive misogynist and racist in order to do so.
