#Trump is seeking to #deport another #academic who is legally in the country

Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at #Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a US #citizen w/ #Palestinian heritage.
Hooded #ICE agents snatched the India-born Georgetown postdoc #BadarSuri from Rosslyn street Mon, per the court filing. Like #MahmoudKhalil, Suri was subject to #MarcoRubio’s 'foreign policy' power, atty says.

Continued thread

The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.

“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.

We are at 270,000+ citizens and residents signing the House of Commons petition to strip Canadian citizenship from Musk. Since he doesn't believe we're a "real country" anyway.

edit: Just got a BBC notification about it. 😆

#NoKingsDay #washington #DC 2025-02-17 in a #bigbrother 1984 #orwellian #digital #dictatorship, no one would see anything of this #protests, all the big media conglomerates, search engines would censor it :( question: why did those peaceful protesters not try to turn over the gov and storm congress? (just asking, probably because they are intelligent unlike the january 6 rioters)

BUT if #Trump and #republicans keep ignoring LEGITIMATE grievances of #citizens like higher and higher #food and #fuel prices = imho companies using #inflation as excuse to increase prices without transparency = #corruption of the #middleman: when is #DOGE gonna investigate that???

u gonna have a violent #civilwar like #riot at your hand Mr #TrumpRegime

because #citizens then have nothing to lose and the #FrenchRevolution did not go well for the #King

PLEASE THIS TIME, THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM U WANT AFTER THE #REVOLUTION :)

1. best as possible #education of the masses very important for #democracy to work ask #Socrates infosec.exchange/@Linknation/1

2. no more parties: only proven #competent #truthful #honest people can be candidates voted for highest jobs in government

3. make new innovative #finance systems (can be multiple) the current central bank FIAT money is #fascist and not serving the people (#Fascism = fasces = concentration of power in hands of (unelected?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

4. every #citizen should be given small plot of land for free to grow food and build a house on

5. no more stockmarket, all businesses and banks need to be run by proven #competent #responsible actors democratically elected by their employees

#Trump + #Elonmusk START FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE #POOR + #ECONOMY NOW! with smart new ideas of #finance

or face dire catastrophic #disaster #consequences

I agree rewriting of #history is as old as history itself & the role of #archivists has always been part of #resistance.

Today we have two slightly unique double edged swords.

Never before has being a #citizen #journalist or a citizen archivist been so open & easy for so many.

Both those tearing down and those #preserving have access to the tools, their own respective bully puppets, their own claim on truth.

All who can should think, choose & act wisely & #ethically.
