solidarity

Holy shit. Apparently, it’s the United States of Isra-hell now—where those protesting against genocide and war crimes and speaking up for Palestinian rights are being unlawfully detained and deported, even if they are lawful permanent residents. 

I read that a federal judge blocked the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, but this sets an insanely dangerous precedent. I wonder when they’ll start arresting people for speaking out against Russian war crimes 😤 

I stand in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil.

One edge the USA and Europe still had over China was the illusion of freedom of expression (yes I think even the illusion of it is better than not having any of it).

The ability to protest was important, even if the institutions were set up in a way that these anti-establishment opinions would never surface in the media, and power would never "trickle down" to the majority through corporate-paid elections.

As with everything else under Trump, mask is fully coming off on freedom of expression now.

Power consolidation=evil.

I’ve said it before, Trump’s goal is give people all the worst elements of China or the Stalinist USSR with none of the upsides. It will be a testament to how much Americans detached real valid critique from their tribalist creationism and as such, how little they learned from history.
