"So far, America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely."

Exposing the hypocrisy of the DDS (diehard Duterte supporters)

*Digong is another name for Duterte

#Philippines #Asian #Duterte #ICC #CrimesAgainstHumanity #HumanRights #Hypocrites @pinoy

Text: Silent when Filipino fishermen are harrassed by the Chinese Coast Guard in the Philippines' own exclusive economic zone, but cries about sovereignty when Duterte was arrested. Called god stupid, but now calls for prayer rallies in support of Duterte. Against protest rallies: "Sumunod na lang kayo sa gobyerno." (Translation: Just follow the government.) But now calls for protests everywhere. Says Edsa People Power was fake and the people were brainwashed, but now calls for a new people power to oust Marcos Junior. Says they don't care about human rights and due process, but are now calling for due process and human rights after Duterte's arrest

Trump's only concern w/antisemitism is weaponizing it to promote anti-Arab & anti- Palestinian racism & xenophobia. The ruling elite pardon actual antisemitism while targeting, abducting, & criminalizing Palestinian & Arab individuals for their leadership in liberation movements

DOGE is basically not touching the US military, where there actually is rampant fraud.

Because DOGE is just a scheme to gut social spending.

What is the biggest Pentagon contractor by market valuation? Elon Musk's SpaceX, with $5.6 billion in contracts.

“This is the Trump administration desperate to meet the goals that it’s set to carry out its mass deportation agenda. But he’s having trouble reaching those numbers, because he doesn’t have the manpower and the infrastructure to actually rip away people who have years and years of life in our communities and are deeply entwined.” https://www.texasobserver.org/local-state-police-ice-287g-task-force/

Canada has denied permanent resident status to a former officer of the Philippine National Police for his role in the Duterte administration's bloody war on drugs, citing a law that bars entry and residence to those who have "[violated] human or international rights."

DT & current ICC-War-Crime-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu have reached out to three African governments to discuss the planned forced-relocation of Palestinians to Africa

"Under DT’s plan, Gaza’s more than 2 million people would be permanently sent elsewhere. He has proposed the U.S. would take ownership of the territory, oversee a lengthy cleanup process and develop it as a real estate project."

Members of the #Jewish community have taken over #Trump Tower in solidarity with #MahmoudKhalil, chanting, “We want justice! You say how? Bring Mahmoud home now!” They are also drawing parallels between Trump’s #ICE and #Hitler’s #Gestapo, condemning the intimidation tactics used against people.

Republicans are not Conservatives and have not been for quite a while.

They are insurrectionists, working to overturn democratic government and replace it with rule by a white christo-fascist oligarchy.

It's a coup, class, and anybody who doesn't call it that is collaborating.

Heather Cox Richardson

In 1790, Burke argued that the role of government was not to impose a worldview, but rather to promote stability, and that lawmakers could achieve that stability most effectively by supporting the structures that had proven themselves effective in the past; in his time, that meant social hierarchies, the church, property, and the family. “Conservative” meant, literally, conserving what was already there, without reference to an ideology. Those in charge of government should make changes slowly, according to facts on the ground, in order to keep the country stable, he thought. If it behaved this way, the government, which in his time was usually seen as a negative force in society, could be a positive one.

In 2025 the Republicans in charge of the United States of America are not the conservatives they call themselves; they are the dangerous ideological radicals Burke feared. They are abruptly dismantling a government that has kept the United States relatively prosperous, secure, and healthy for the past 80 years. In its place, they are trying to impose a government based in the idea that a few men should rule.

So Senator Chris Murphy of CT is right: political speech is free speech and detaining or taking someone for it is wrong.

Potus and his people are wrong to have done so, and must stop immediately.

The #Trump admin has abruptly cleared out a 2nd group of migrants it brought to the American military base at #Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, returning to the #UnitedStates 40 men it had flown there in the past few weeks.

The move comes days before a Federal District Court judge in Washington is set to hear a major challenge to aspects of the policy.
A court filing described strip searches & the use of restraint chairs on some of the 290 migrants.

“Given what a support our church has been throughout Ruby’s life, it’s absolutely infuriating to see Republicans in my own state twist our faith to argue that my child does not deserve rights. Christian lawmakers in #Texas, members of my own religion, claim that #trans people are sinful, bad, and broken, but that is anything but the truth.” https://www.texasobserver.org/trans-children-gods-gifts/
