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.

Don't imagine that it's merely incompetence.
There's also fascist method in the madness. Trump et al. know that unleashing total chaos is a useful method of control.
It's too fast, furious, & confusing for anyone to keep up, which helps to control the population & incapacitate resistance.
Heritage began serious planning for Project 2025 during Trump 1.0.
They selected thousands of new staff to start on Jan 20, 2025.

Report: Days before masked immigration agents detained Rumeysa Ozturk, the State Dept said there was no evidence linking her to antisemitic activities or support for a 'terrorist' organization."
Yet she was arrested for engaging “in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization."
Ozturk had co-written an op-ed calling for her university to divest from Israel.

Interview: Trump says he wants to send U.S. citizens to El Salvador's maximum-security prisons, notorious for torture.
Over 300 non-citizens have been disappeared there including at least one, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, by mistake.
Both Trump & Salvadoran President Bukele now say they have no power to bring him back.
"Trump can absolutely bring home Mr. Abrego Garcia. That is well within their power and authority.”

Report: Israel military razed Gaza perimeter land to create ‘kill zone’
Everything in the kilometer-wide area has been destroyed to create ‘a death zone of enormous proportions’.
The area looks like Hiroshima, said one soldier.
Everything was mowed down, including agricultural & industrial areas that could have been vital in post-war reconstruction.

2. Musk was raised in apartheid South Africa, surrounded by fascist ideology.
As the above article shows, Musk wants to expunge human empathy. As did Hitler (see quote in image).
Lack of empathy &, hence, conscience, is the central trait of psychopathy. Also compulsive lying.
Not all psychopaths do harm, but, like Trump, Musk does. In spades.
We must withdraw our support from these fascists - our votes, clicks, & money.

"Musk has argued that empathy is a suicidal trait that is a driving force behind civilizational extinction".
The west should get tough: "bar its doors to immigrants of a certain type & endure temporary hardship so the woke mind virus will die"
Psychopathy is marked by lack of empathy &, hence, conscience

"Tariffs are a tool the president enjoys… He doesn’t have to go through Congress. He can exercise personal power.
"With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years—a kind of control that is ultimately incompatible with both democracy and prosperity."

"Coup at Columbia? School’s Capitulation to Trump"
"It feels like a kind of racial and ethnic cleansing that is happening on our campuses.”
"Students from abroad, even those with green cards & U.S. citizenship, are now terrified of being swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown."

Interview: "Fire the unelected social media dictators: Cory Doctorow on tech and US politics"
"Elon Musk’s rise to power in the United States is emblematic of the expanding power of Big Tech".
Writer, psychologist & educator here to learn & share info on politics, psych, education, history &, especially, structural power. Antifascist, anti-oligarchy, atheist. I boost what I find interesting, regardless of whether I agree with it. Resisting fascism includes countering disinformation with facts. I prefer evidence, not evidence-free opinion.
