Immigration judge orders Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria β€œIt is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech," Khalil, a former Columbia University grad student, said in a statement.

If Trump can successfully fabricate this staggeringly ridiculous pretext for stripping permanent residence from Khalil, they can do it to me or anyone they don’t like. How the federal judge responds will have broad implications for whether even green card holders may speak freely in this country

If you’re a journalist writing about the Kirk murder and you don’t know what the Groyper Wars are, I beg you to find someone who knows what the Groyper Wars are before you write your article

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.

Chris Smalls has been live reporting on IG -- they are being surrounded by drones and unidentified vessels. He says that it should not go unnoticed that the drones likely operate on Amazon Web Services, and that most US unions are fully complicit while calling out US politicians who vote for this...

Two vessels approaching the Handala "at high speeds," rn per stream, they expect to be illegally intercepted in international waters shortly. If kidnapped and imprisoned those upon the Handala have agreed to go on hunger strike in protest of Israel's starvation of Gaza
