They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.
They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.
And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

The same place Mahmoud Khalil was taken to.

This is the most powerful video showing masked plain clothes agents of our interior ministry putting a student into an unmarked van and driving away.
My heart goes out to the Tufts community tonight. I'm a proud Tufts alum, and will be working tirelessly to shine a light on this profound injustice.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
