"The university was also told to begin the process of placing Columbia's world-renowned Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership. This process requires an outside chair, who could be appointed by the government, to run the department for five years. "
"Other demands listed by the White House include a mask ban on campus, giving "full law enforcement authority" to campus security by allowing them to "arrest and remove agitators", and reforming the admissions process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. "

“Saudi Arabia’s economic power rests on its vast oil reserves, and Mr. Trump has embraced a parallel approach — championing ‘drill, baby, drill’…”
Trump’s AI generated video of a casino-led Gaza Strip “is the embodiment of the shared Gulf state dream: autocratic technocapitalism in glitz and glass.”

Please boost.
"....other countries keep asking why Americans aren't protesting, but we are & have been - the media isn't covering it...."
Protesters! Keep posting everything to social media. Over and over. Everyone, on every platform should be boosting it to help. Hopefully media from other countries will pick it up and we'll hear about it.

@dabertime They just didn’t understand what they were voting for! They voted for saving money FROM the U.S. economy. It will solve a lot of their problems permanently when they can’t eat.

Something I’ve been thinking about - and it’s morbid, but we live in weird times.
As this administration continues to threaten other countries, I wonder - do they think these countries can’t or won’t martial up resources and networks to bring guerrilla warfare right to our streets? Possibly with the help of US citizens?
We know foreign intel agencies are trying to recruit folks - I wonder how many have voluntarily signed on, because fuck it, the admin declared war on all of us?
