Interview: "The Doxxing-to-Deportation Pipeline”: The Abduction & Jailing of Rümeysa Öztürk

Öztürk was abducted & jailed after co-authoring an opinion piece critical of Tufts U's response to Gaza protests.

Despite there being "no evidence linking her to antisemitic activities or public statements in support of terrorism", an immigration judge declared Öztürk a potential “danger to the community".

Continued thread

The Skinny is a cleaned up collection of my Fediverse blog posts; this time from April 16th to April 19th. Topics explored include Trump's ICE Gestapo, the anti-trans pogrom, signs that a Christian Nationalist purge is brewing in the Trump administration, Broligarchs, and why Seb Gorka just implied half the country are aiding and abetting terrorists by fighting back against the Trump agenda.

The Skinny: Climate of Fear and Indifference

ninaillingworth.com/2025/04/21

"As such, it should absolutely alarm you when Seb Gorka goes on TV to repeat and reinforce the US government’s fact-free claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is literally a “terrorist,” and starts characterizing people who oppose Trump’s illegal “deportation” of Garcia as folks potentially “aiding and abetting” terrorists; because again, for some mysterious reason (they’re all nazis too) the Trump regime gave this disgraced War on Terror-era reject authority over protecting America from whoever the hell the regime says are “terrorists” apparently. How Gorka finds the time to do so amid his typically busy day of doing Islambophia, warmongering, and spreading fascist ideology, remains a mystery."

Analysis: "The State Department Relied on Columbia University’s Mischaracterization of Protests to Arrest Mohsen Mahdawi"

"Columbia University refused to retract its statement calling pro-Palestine protests 'intimidation.'

"Now, the Trump administration is using it against Mohsen Mahdawi."

At the protest in question, Mahdawi had in fact confronted a man who was shouting antisemitic insults.
