The Trump administration is escalating its attacks on students and immigrants. DHS just arrested Columbia student activist Mahmoud Khalil — a lawful permanent resident — inside his own building. His wife is eight months pregnant. DHS and Trump do NOT have the power to revoke a green card. 🧵
Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism.
Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.
The district plans to restrict student enrollment in newcomer programs to a maximum of one year.
A leaked memo reveals that DOGE's next target is the VA, with plans to fire more than 80,000 agency workers who provide critical services to veterans and their families.

Abortion care is a non-negotiable right, and those who provide it are on the frontlines of a fight for justice.

Montana lawmakers took one look at voters overwhelmingly protecting abortion rights and said, "Nah, we’re doing fascism anyway." A newly-proposed bill would make it a crime to CARRY YOUR OWN PREGNANCY IN YOUR OWN BODY across state lines for an abortion. buff.ly/3Xhlo7m

A news article screenshot from WGNO ABC with the headline: "Louisiana seeks extradition of New York doctor accused of mailing abortion pills across state lines." The byline credits Emma Simmons and Allison Bruhl, with a timestamp of February 12, 2025, at 4:45 PM CST. The article mentions Louisiana’s attorney general approving an extradition request for a New York doctor indicted for allegedly prescribing abortion pills to a minor. The Ten Years AAF logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Louisiana AG Liz Murrill, aka the Interstate Dogcatcher, is calling for the extradition of a New York abortion provider for prescribing medication to someone in Louisiana. Murill knows damn well that NY state has a shield law to protect docs from this, but LISTEN UP –here is how far she goes.
An edited image of Count von Count from Sesame Street, smiling with a large orange number "5" in the background. Bold orange text reads: "THE NUMBER OF STATES PROPOSING MURDER CHARGES FOR HAVING AN ABORTION." Below, a purple banner lists five states: "SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH DAKOTA, OKLAHOMA, INDIANA, IDAHO," with another large orange "5" to the left.
So it’s a herd of cattle, a gaggle of geese, and with this latest fuckery, let’s say, it’s a murder of bros. Why? Because the number of states- all with bro governors, that have proposed charging folks who have abortions with 1st degree homicide, has just climbed to FIVE.
