DHS spokesperson: “Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish national and Tufts University graduate student, granted the privilege to be in this country on a visa. DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege not a right. Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be terminated. This is commonsense security.”

NEW—DHS claims, without citing proof, Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."

Among "activity" Ozturk engaged in was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to heed student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

This is the op-ed she's been disappeared for. These motherfuckers. All of you motherfuckers.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

kind of incredible to me that no one wants to be a john quincy adams

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

tweet from Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice: Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government? WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.

anti-establishment crusader uhhh Susan Rice

republicans hate veterans and want them dead

I am often asked how to defeat fascists. If I had an easy answer, we wouldn't be here! The point of my story is that I do have experience dealing with people who enjoy the anguish of others, and I know how fragile those people's confidence is. When I did a story on a troll harassment campaign against a woman in Montana, I published the audio of the creepy voicemails the trolls had left for her. A couple of my alt-right sources were furious because they felt embarrassed-the voicemails did not sound cool when played to a mass audience. As troll culture has ascended to the highest levels of American governance, it's worth remembering this simple fact: One way to rebalance the power between a billionaire troll and regular people is to make sure everyone sees who they really are.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Too dumb to breathe

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Opinion | Tom Homan’s obsession with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a political miscalculation This could be the opening Democrats need to re-engage Latinos who have been waiting for someone to stand up.

“If President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, thought he could intimidate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…he picked the wrong Latina.”

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Thursday’s front page of the British Daily Star.

Putin’s Poodle

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

“Trump is cutting funding for a search for a cure for cancer so he and a billionaire can make a buck.”

“Trump is bowing down to Putin and letting him rob us blind”

“Trump wants to raise your taxes, let a billionaire take your grandma’s social security, and sell out the country to make a buck.”

“Trump thinks you’re a sucker. Are you?”

I don’t get why House Dems are failing on this. Get a camera. Shout variations of the following DAILY

“Trump says he’s a king. We beat a king 250 years ago, we’ll do it again.”

“Trump and a billionaire are taking meds from 9/11 responders and cancer patients.”

“Trump is firing veterans”

Every way? You could, I don’t know, deny unanimous consent, use quorum calls, and leverage every aspect of Senate rules to slow things down. Just a thought

Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Seeks Access to I.R.S. System With Taxpayers’ Records A White House spokesman said that the initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency needed to review data to fix waste within the agency.

In Musk's America, taxes file you www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

"Based on the fact that you said 'disrupt' and referenced your carnivore diet in the same email, you are, more likely than not, a Silicon Valley follower."

So you're committing to using the budget/debt negotiations to shut down the government if necessary?

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post didn’t want you to see our ad questioning who’s in charge at the White House. We won't stop holding power accountable. thehill.com/media/514849...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.
