Rutgers TPUSA officers slam petition to shut down chapter, ‘Blatantly defamatory’ Alexander Di Filippo accuses Turning Point USA of inciting violence against Antifa handbook author Mark Bray.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

Opinion | When Universities Become Informants A practice from the McCarthy era makes an ugly return.

J Butler: “It is time to resist the injustice now normalized by those who capitulate to powers willing to destroy the basic principles protecting the university’s independence & who imperil the future of critical thought, dissent, and democracy itself.”

Guess how many articles about this topic have been written in 2025, since Trump started demanding political retribution against universities who taught the wrong thing or allowed students to protest the wrong thing

Video of clash over gender-identity content in Texas A&M children’s lit class leads to firings After the video fueled outrage, two college leaders were removed from their administrative roles for approving plans to teach content inconsistent with the course’s published description.

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech.

Moreover, as for stops of those individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

How We Brought Respectful Debate Back to The Harvard Crimson’s Editorial Board

To us, the solution is deceptively simple. Universities should create environments where students with different views must talk to one another routinely and establish ground rules that ensure they do so without distractions or prejudgment. Illiberalism on college campuses isn’t inevitable. At The Crimson, it took only a few months to radically improve.

I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time.

If only western leaders were as enraged about literal kneecaping during a genocide by Zionist psychopaths as they are about a band called Kneecap speaking out against that very same grotesque genocide.

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

So, to be clear:

*Federal employment, which built much of the Black middle class—attacked & slashed

*Cities with Black mayors—targeted

*Black neighborhoods/communities—invaded

*Affirmative action @ colleges—eliminated

*Black history—demonized, erased, & written over

They
are
re-
segregating.

The Democratic Party leadership does not believe in the legitimacy of their own party’s primary for the largest city in the USA because they’re Islamophobic and anti-Arab racists who believe Mamdani is an illegitimate upstart who was not supposed to win. They are anti-democratic, in short.

How fucking dare they?!

“We have had the police knocking on every door,” said a dog walker and resident of Dean, as a helicopter buzzed overhead. “They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.”

Buried in The Observer yesterday was this: UK police knocking on doors demanding details of social media accounts of people, to pass to a foreign government, simply because they happen to live near where a US politician wanted to have a holiday observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
