MAGA is completely aligned with Nazi philosophy in nearly all respects, including its support for Israel. They would make it unsafe for Jews to live anywhere else, and once Israel has no allies left, abandon them there.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal

When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity
Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

criminalization is the mechanism by which the state/cops/people in power can harm and disappear Black, brown, trans and queer, poor, etc. people—and the reality is that who and what is is considered “criminal” is constructed, and can always shift.

we need to be saying again and again and again that even if 100% of these people had a criminal record none of this would be okay. people who are criminalized are humans and deserve human rights. people are systematically criminalized based solely on the color of their skin, poverty, language etc

A basic red line for defending academic freedom would be not turning over faculty data because they signed an open letter.
The University of California is actively cooperating with the government witch hunt against some 850 faculty members.

People don’t realize spiders can supplement their diet with pollen. Eggs and Sanders (2013) found juvenile orb-weavers get up to 38 percent from it. Meadows matter. Flowers are tiny gas pumps for murder machines. #science #arachnology🧪
