Henry Bullinger could write in 1541 that "to say the truth, people did not inquire much, as it is no new thing to see men hanged, quartered, or beheaded, for one thing or another.”

RFK Jr. Turns to a Discredited Vaccine Researcher for Autism Study (Gift Article) David Geier has been hired as a senior data analyst at H.H.S. According to several people, he will examine any potential links between vaccines and autism that were debunked long ago.

These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer.

Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

multiple issues here:
-it’s unamerican and unconstitutional for the federal govt—and certainly the executive on its own, arbitrarily and in secret—to create a speech code for visa holders
-even if that was permissible, suddenly accosting her in the street and abducting her is wildly disproportionate

In leaked messages, members of ‘Columbia Alumni for Israel’ group chat work to identify, punish pro-Palestinian protesters <i>Updated on March 5 at 2:37 p.m.</i>

/9 And what of the informants working to undermine American free speech? What of the Canary Missions and the Columbia Alumni for Israel making lists of people to be disappeared?

How should we view the people giving names to the secret police?

/8 In what meaningful way is Israel an ally of the United States, as Israel is presently led?

If a country demands and encourages that secret police sweep up students from the street for writing critical op-eds, how is that country an ally and not an enemy to our basic values?

/7 Despite that, it’s clear that the administration is adopting the policy of Israel’s hard right — that dissent from Israel’s conduct is inherently illegitimate and worthy of sanction.

This leads me to questions.

/6 The Trump administration clearly doesn’t care sincerely for the fate of Israel or Jews. They snuggle with antisemitic bigots on the regular. Their concern is instrumental and transactional, like most of their expressed values.

/5 …criticisms of Israel, frequently conflating antisemitism and calls for violence against Israel with criticisms of Israeli policies and acknowledgements of the humanity of Palestinians.

/4 And her op-ed — as well as her being in support of boycott and divestment from Israel — are certainly what brought her to the attention of Canary Mission, Israel’s volunteer Sicherheitsdienst force here in the United States. Canary Mission eagerly documents…..

/3 . . . In which Marco Rubio has purported to make a unilateral determination that a person’s presence in the U.S. is harmful to our foreign relations and therefore their lawful status should be revoked, since charges were not filed against her.

/2 We don’t know — because the government won’t tell us — whether that op-ed was the deciding factor that led masked and plainclothes secret police to detain her on a street and send her to squalid ICE facilities in Louisiana. But the pattern is similar to other cases . . .

This is the op-ed Rumeysa Ozturk co-wrote in 2024 criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to student demands for action regarding Gaza and Israel. It is unquestionably speech protected by the First Amendment.

this is disgusting.

"freedom seeds" is somehow both cringe and incredibly dystopian

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full.

Typical

ICE detains University of Alabama doctoral student as government's college crackdown continues According to ICE records, Iranian national Alireza Doroudi is currently being held in a "detention facility" after he was recently detained.

ICE has arrested Iranian national Alireza Doroudi, a doctoral candidate studying mechanical engineering at the University of Alabama. He was arrested at home at 5 a.m. Tuesday.
As with some of the others who've been disappeared, unclear why he was detained. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Another reason that the "You're wildly overreacting when you suggest that there's a high risk the 2026/28 elections won't be free & fair" view is so deeply unserious is that, by any serious & actually democratic standard, our current elections are already not even free & fair.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

Doing this in El Salvador with those prisoners as a backdrop is extremely twisted.

They did similar shit back when Trump had his family separation policy in ‘17, several of them grandstanding around the camps to show ‘progress’ and wearing body armor to mislead people about dangers being near the border, etc

I truly haven't even been able to take this in tonight because it is so horrifically appalling.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Krome Immigration Detention Center in Florida which is supposed to hold 400-500 people now has over 4,000 people detained.

They are now intentionally withholding water and food from Latin people who are forced to be there, killing them slowly through dehydration.

This is called TORTURE!!!
