We will see this happen again, as OPTs and STEM OPTs get processed, as O1s and H1Bs get processed. As B1s & B2s get processed. We were right to be worried then and we are right to be worried now.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

"I realized then I had no privacy left for them to invade."

Alistair Kitchen, an Australian reporter, recounts his detention and interrogation on the U.S. border. It's really well written and truly harrowing.

(Hate that the NYer doesn't support gift links, but you know what to do: archive.ph)

We were, unfortunately, exactly right.

It's not quite as harmless to the scores of international students who have been living with this exact fear for over a year now, only to be dismissed by the institution administrations, their mental health providers, departments and faculty. We were not worrying for nothing.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

It's official Proposals to pedestrianise Oxford Street will move ahead

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

Trump team pauses new student visa interviews as it weighs expanding social media vetting It’s the latest salvo against universities, many of whom rely heavily on foreign students for funds.

The Trump regime wants to harm universities & block free speech by throwing up barriers to international students. In the end, young people from other countries will fear coming anyway; the US will lose bright minds & talent, our economy will suffer, we'll all suffer. The cruelty - idiocy - shame!

Israeli troops open fire as aid group loses control of distribution centre Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, chosen by Israel, unprepared for thousands of hungry Palestinians, leading staff to abandon posts Israeli troops have opened fire near thousands of hungry Palestinians as a logistics group chosen by Israel to ship food into Gaza lost control of its distribution centre on its second day of operations. An 11-week total siege and a continuing tight Israel blockade mean most people in Gaza are desperately hungry.

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

The echoes are real—but this isn’t a rerun.

Naomi Klein calls it end times fascism:
It´s not just about reclaiming power, but about riding collapse like it’s prophecy.
They’re not planning for the future—they’re hoarding for the aftermath.
Destruction isn’t the cost. It’s the goal.
#EndTimesFascism

Hannah Arendt discusses this phenomenon of sympathetic elite allying themselves with the mob because they took delight in debasing the institutions that rejected them only to later be discarded before the atrocities start.

Her insight into this phenomenon is pure insightful genius.

Can't wait to see this in person!

In Jharkhand’s Godda, 180 workers went on hunger strike outside an Adani power plant.

Why? Because they gave up their land for promised jobs. Instead, they got shuffled through outsourcing firms with backdated contracts and no job security.
