NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it.
Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago.
Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

This is what the media does. They'll cover something that endorses a wholesale stripping of all rights for trans people but then report it as being only about sports. It's working to obfuscate what is being done to us by our government and our leaders.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.
