The time has come for Chuck #Schumer to go. His lack of resolve is going to enable Elon the #oligarch and the president that he purchased complete their takeover of the federal government. We need to let every #Democratic senator know that they should vote against this #Republican bill that cedes the powers of Congress to the executive branch.

"What led to the arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a prominent pro-#Palestine activist at #ColumbiaUniversity? Although he is a United States permanent resident, Khalil is facing deportation. The #Trump administration says it's part of a broader effort to combat anti-Semitism, but critics see a chilling attack on political speech..."

Members of the government are now saying the US has to be “profitable.” One of the ways these tech and hedge fund guys make companies profitable is through layoffs. How do you “lay off” citizens? I guess we’re going to find out. #uspol #uspolitics

If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .

Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"

The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.

actionnetwork.orgDemand Mahmoud Khalil’s immediate release from DHS custody This week, Rashida Tlaib led 13 of her colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to send a letter to the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding Mahmoud Khali’s immediate release from DHS custody. The Congressional signers are, in alphabetical order: Andre Carson, Jasmine Crockett, Al Green, Summer Lee, James P. McGovern, Gwen S. Moore, Ilhan Omar, Mark Pocan, Ayanna Pressley, Delia Ramirez, Lateefah Simon, Rashida Tlaib, Nydia M. Valázquez, and Nikema Williams. Mahmoud, a legal permanent resident of the United States who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, has constitutional rights to free speech and due process—rights which the Trump administration has violated in actions that the American Civil Liberties Union calls “unprecedented.” Criminalizing protest is not only intended to silence the U.S. solidarity movement with Palestine, but is also a threat to democracy and to all Americans who dare to speak out against our government. In a New York Times article titled, “This is the greatest threat to free speech since the Red Scare,” Michelle Goldberg writes: "a government this willing to disregard the First Amendment is a danger to us all." We must speak up and resist this authoritarian, lawless abuse of power together. Please add your name to join Rashida Tlaib and her colleagues in Congress demanding the immediate release of political prisoner Mahmoud Khalil. He should be back home safely with his wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant with their child.

White House says immigration officials are seeking more pro-Palestinian protesters

The #WhiteHouse is defending the arrest of pro- #Palestinian protest leader and #ColumbiaUniversity graduate student #MahmoudKhalil, and says the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity plans to arrest more protesters moving forward.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the decision to arrest Khalil, a green card holder who is of Palestinian descent, fell in line with President #Trump's recent executive order aimed at cracking down on antisemitism on U.S. campuses. The order allows the administration to revoke visas and deport international students if they're determined to be "pro-jihadist" or "#Hamas sympathizers."
