Back in 2017 both of them were criticizing colleges for censorship of speech.

Glenn points out that people are free to say whatever they want about LBGT folks, trans,, Muslims, blacks and even that Israel should kill all Palestinians, but you cannot say anything critical about Israel if you are here as a foreign student or even a green card holder.

A Palestinian activist expecting a US citizenship interview is arrested instead by ICE in Vermont

As a student, Mahdawi was an outspoken critic of Israel's military campaign in Gaza and organized campus protests until March 2024. He co-founded the Palestinian Student Union at Columbia with Mahmoud Khalil, another Palestinian permanent resident of the U.S. and graduate student who recently was detained by ICE.

At one of the gatherings someone in the crowd spewed anti semitic insults. Listen to what Mahdawi said when he was on 60 minutes.

Might be a good idea for Trump to watch them so he can understand why people think he’s a wishy washy hypocritical idiot that the world is laughing at.

MAGA bitched when libs said that being mean to trans, ect was dangerous, but now they support kicking out foreigners because their speech is dangerous. Plus they are ignorant about the constitution and who is covered under it.

As the judge says, the constitution covers every person in America. No wonder the PTB dumbed down education system.

America has 3 branches of coequal government powers and federal courts are part of that. But MAGA is upset that courts are ruling against what Trump is doing. They call them activist judges, but then libs do the same when courts rule against a dem president which MAGA cheers. Take the courts ruling against Biden’s student loan forgiveness…

People really need to get over their tribalism where their side can do no wrong.

I only saw orange state being critical of Biden when he kept failing to get his agenda passed, but once they failed one by one they moved on to the next agenda…and after they bitched and moaned…time after time they just moved on and then stopped criticizing anything dems did or didn’t do. But now there are daily diaries about the evil republicans.

And wars are only good when dems are doing them. I remember when OT was against the Afghanistan war until Obama not only continued it, but expanded it by sending more troops.

Oops. Guess I went on a rant. I’m just fed up with tribalism.

Along the same lines, I found this Harvard professor discussing a law suit filed by Harvard professors against the administration compelling, too.

"This is an effort to try to take over the ideological agenda of the country by taking over universities," says Andrew Manuel Crespo, professor at Harvard Law School and general counsel of the Harvard faculty chapter of the American Association of University Professors.

Columbia gave in , but their funding wasn’t restored and the president was pushed out anyway.

5 huge law firms have caved to Trump’s demands.

I haven’t finished this yet.

The People Are Resisting While the Elites Are Surrendering

As Donald Trump rapidly turns America into an autocracy, a striking class divide has emerged. A popular resistance movement is coalescing against Trump made up of ordinary people—even as those with the most wealth and power in society are the quickest to bend the knee to the aspiring despot. As the political scientist Jodi Dean noted in a recent editorial in The Nation, “The institutions of civil society, the organizations and practices that give democracy its substance, are crumbling. The word of the day is capitulation.”

@snoopydawg

on how Trump is just expanding on what Biden started. Another article on Columbia.

https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/trump-attacks-higher-education...

All of this happened under a Democratic president, governor, and mayor, none of whom stood up for the rights of student activists and all of whom were eager to be seen as protecting Jewish students against alleged antisemitism—which has been expansively interpreted by groups like the ADL to mean practically any pro-Palestinian speech. All of it happened before Trump’s election victory and his return to power pledging to criminalize and root out antisemitism on campuses under the same expansive definition.

I’ve seen armed Jews walking in the streets saying that Israel should kill all Palestinians. I bet there were a few Palestinians that felt threatened by the group and yet nary a word was said about it. I haven’t seen one protest where Jews were actually threatened. If they had been it’d be all over social media. Even the corporate media would have covered it.

He told the IRS to do it, but it’s up to them to decide if they will.

I’m not sure that he has the authority to do this, but we’ll see.

The US has officially shut down the government agency that Secretary of State Marco Rubio said was used by the Biden administration to censor Americans.

Former President Joe Biden set up the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) in 2016 to “recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation,” according to its mission statement.

On Wednesday, Rubio announced the closure of the GEC, which had been operating as the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI) office since December.

@humphrey

Bernie Sanders has been repeatedly uttering the phrase “Israel has a right to defend itself” on his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, which in the year 2025 can only be interpreted as blatant genocide apologia.

Israel does not have “a right to defend itself” against an occupied population in a giant concentration camp. Under international law it has a right to end the occupation, and that’s it. “Israel has a right to defend itself” is just a slogan people say when they want to justify supplying an ongoing genocide.

Wow…even orange state is kudoing Bernie for his oligarchy tour. One person who went to it said that the line to get into the event was 2 miles long.

I don’t get why people are listening to him and the AOC since democrats are out of power and they have done all they could to have the oligarchy doing what they are doing.

Bernie finally got to head one of the important committees and just what did he accomplish? No raise in minimum wage. No public option to buy into Medicare. None of the things democrats have been promising for the last 3 decades. In fact I don’t remember him offering any legislation that would help the working class.

But if people want to be herded back into the dem party by Bernie lying to them then who am I to tell them to do something else?

From MoA

This does NOT look like progress in the negotiations:
Trump is extending the ban on ships flying the Russian flag or with other Russian connections in US ports for another year.

This on top of extending the Biden sanctions on Russia for another year. Trump just told Putin to quit dragging his feet on the ceasefire. Witkoff said that Russia just told him what it’d take to end the war. Dummy. Putin has been telling America what it wants to end the war since 2022.

So the peace president didn’t end the war in 24 hours like he said. He’s still allowing Americans to pick targets for Ukraine to bomb Russia and kill Russian civilians.
He’s been bombing Yemen for a month and thinking about hiring AQ and ISIS to invade Yemen.

He got a ceasefire in Gaza so it didn’t ruin his inauguration and then he let Israel continue its genocide and just sent Israel more weapons.

He’s threatening to bomb Iran unless it stops its nuclear program and destroys its weapons that can wipe out Israel.

He continued Biden’s support of the leader of ISIS in Syria.

He’s been bombing Somalia and did so again this week.

He’s putting realID in play which has been a globalist goal for years and he just fast tracked another mRNA vaccine for bird flu which isn’t a threat.

Not to mention his crack down on free speech and deporting green card holders for their speech.

He’s fired hundreds of thousands of people and is making social security basically worthless and now he plans on privatizing the post office.

Is this what MAGA voted for? If they complain at republican events they get tased by the goon squad.

Well as it’s said…no matter who you vote for John McCain gets in.
