It's not about Khalil. It's not about his beliefs. It's about our rights.

These fuckin clowns 🤡

"A 30-day funding freeze enacted by the #Trump administration at #FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has caused an immediate pause to the millions of dollars distributed to help vulnerable #nonprofits, including many #Jewish institutions, meet their #security needs.

#Synagogues, Jewish day schools and other organizations that rely on the FEMA funding dispersed through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program have not received reimbursements allocated to them, according to representatives from the Secure Community Network, an organization that provides security services to Jewish nonprofits."

Why does “founder” simultaneously mean to establish something and to fail utterly?

He’s grabbing more power for himself soon, and putting all immigrant communities at high risk of abuse from ICE and other law enforcement. Be ready to stand up for migrants and for due process. There are very dark clouds ahead.

Jag tror nog att en hel indiansk befolkning skulle vilja ha ett ord om att främmande människor i en båt, som strandade på land någonstans för över 200 år sen, och sa att de äger den....

The Pentagon owns 145 golf courses. As Trump cuts key government services, we found it aims to spend on sand traps and clubhouses.

Judge Orders Thousands of Fired Federal Employees to Be Reinstated Immediately https://truthout.org/articles/judge-orders-thousands-of-fired-federal-employees-to-be-reinstated-immediately/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

You don't have to agree with Khalil's politics, rhetoric, demands, or beliefs. But this isn't about one man. This is about the precedent. This is about Trump's war on free speech, and his noted and documented "shoot them in the legs" disdain for activists.
So far, that hasn't happened.

The Department of Homeland Security, echoing Trump's slurring rhetoric, claimed that Khalil was "aligned with Hamas," a designation offered without evidence but wielded with purpose. This is how repression works.

Students have flooded the streets of New York, demanding Khalil's release. His attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court, where a judge has temporarily blocked his deportation. His case is a flashpoint, a test of how far this administration will go to crush dissent.

Per Meidas, Elon retweeted the following post: ""Hitler Didn't Murder Millions of People... Public Sector Workers Did".
Apparently he's preparing his own defense:
Musk didn't destroy the lives of thousands of honorable Federal workers. . . . DOGE employees did. #Musk #DOGE #GovernmentEmployees #Hitler #Lies

If only Kamala Harris had told everyone one million and one times instead of just one million.

For some reason that freaking idiot who thinks he’s a president thinks that he’s going to bring all this manufacturing back so that people quit paying the tariffs. Does he have the billions of dollars that it’s going to take for one company to open up a manufacturing plant? Steel could be cheaper here and there are defunct plants but the CEO’s take so much of the profits they go under. He’s as dumb as a box of rocks. Biden brought the Chips Act, manufacturing plants are being built here. #uspol

It was never about Transgender Rights or LGBTQIA Rights or Women’s Rights or Veterans Rights or Minority Rights
It has ALWAYS been about distracting US with culture wars while they loot the US Treasury, steal it all for themselves & rob US blind!
