If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too. Anyone – left, right, or center – who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.

Mahmoud Khalil is Trump’s first political prisoner. They charged him with the “crime” of being antisemitic. There is no such crime. In America, you’re allowed to think or say anything you like. And they have no evidence he was antisemitic. He was arrested for criticizing Israel.

That’s against their interests. They want obedient workers. The want people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively except all theses increasingly shittier jobs… And now they are coming for your social security money”

The Department of Education does little to set curriculum.

The reason Trump wants to dismantle it is the department is tasked with protecting students against discrimination and enforcing equal access to education.
