Interview: "Judge Blocks Mahmoud Khalil’s Deportation as Trump Vows More Arrests"

Khalil’s unprecedented arrest is to punish antiwar student activists & is part of Trump’s racist & fascist agenda.

~Murad Awawdeh

If the intent was to silence free speech, it's not working.

And, as the US anti-genocide movement is mostly made up of Americans, the administration can't deport its way out of this situation.

Text from article(edited for length): ...DOGE has emerged as the genuine embodiment of the “deep state” we were warned about — except instead of civic-minded career officials, we now have nihilistic power-mad adrenaline junkies running the show. This matters because DOGE isn’t just another example of hypocrisy in action — it represents a fundamental threat to the systems and institutions that actually make government work for people. Of course, DOGE’s defenders claim they’re just “cutting red tape” and “eliminating waste” — as if they discovered government employees whose sole job was to light taxpayer money on fire. In reality, they’re dismantling the systems that protect us from everything from food poisoning to financial collapse. When you replace expertise with ego and public service with personal enrichment, you don’t just get bad policy — you get the systematic dismantling of the infrastructure that supports innovation, protects civil liberties, and maintains the guardrails that keep power in check. The deep state they imagined never existed. The one they’re building is all too real. So here we are: the people who spent years warning us about an imaginary deep state have built an actual one. The people who claimed to fear unaccountable bureaucrats have installed literally unaccountable bureaucrats. The people who insisted they would drain the swamp have filled it with their own particularly toxic sludge. Their accusations weren’t warnings — they were spoilers.

DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy

"DOGE is the #DeepState. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week & I can’t get it out of my mind.

Headline and text from article: Headline: DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy from the every-accusation dept Mon, Mar 10th 2025 03:00pm - Mike Masnick Text: There’s that old saying that every accusation is a confession. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Musk/Trump administration, everything is projection. While claiming to champion free speech and fight government censorship, they’ve become the most aggressively censorial administration in modern history. After years of performative outrage about campus speech restrictions, they’re systematically dismantling academic freedom. They’re “rescuing” what they called a terrible Biden economy (which was actually remarkably strong) by… implementing policies that have economists screaming about an inevitable recession (or worse). But here’s where the projection becomes almost perfectly aligned: DOGE is the deep state. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of unelected bureaucrats controlling the government, which was never actually true, DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously.

#Musk #Coup #USPol #News #US
Text(edited for length): Musk's authoritarian fantasies aren't pipe dreams; he is constructing them, forcing them into being. His social media platform spreads rightwing propaganda, disinformation, and lies, his companies serve political interests... Every statement, every action, every so-called defense of "free speech" is another ham-fisted Muskian attempt to normalize extremism and undermine democratic governance. The man is a Nazi in all but name, a walking, talking, tweeting, sieg-heiling argument against his own master race musings. But he is not alone. Peter Thiel may not stand beside Musk, but he stands aligned, financing a political machine intended to entrench corporate rule and feed humanity into the meat grinder. Thiel has spent decades working to dismantle democracy, viewing it as a roadblock to elite power, himself the elite personified... At the core of this "movement" lurks Curtis Yarvin, whose political ideology - if it can be called such - has provided the intellectual framework for dismantling democracy. His "Dark Enlightenment" philosophy promotes a world where governments serve only the Superior (defined, of course, by Yarvin), a select few inherit power, and the public exists to obey. Considered fringe by anyone who still maintains contact with reality and decency, his masturbatory notions of hyper-fascism now resonate among maladjusted, incellionaire tech executives... a set of men who believe themselves above and better than the concept of democracy.

Headline and text(edited for length): Why Musk Isn’t Reined In In a word, Trump can’t rein him in because Putin doesn’t want him reined in by Mark Mansour Mar 10, 2025 Multiple reports are that virtually all of Trump’s cabinet secretaries are fed up with Musk, his stooges and his wildly careening chainsaw. It is becoming clear that, incompetent as they are, they’ve figured out that their departments cannot function with indiscriminate firings. Musk has offered ALL HHS employees $25,000 to retire. This would prompt a series of public health catastrophes that would exceed COVID in their long term impact. The cabinet secretaries also have figured out that they and not Musk will be blamed for any ensuing disasters... Trump is playing with fire, especially since he is now singing the fraud and abuse song along with Musk. The head of Social Security has resigned and been replaced by a Musk acolyte. We will see more of that. The question the cabinet secretaries will have to face is how they will manage their departments without highly skilled staff and if they will be blamed for what goes wrong. The answer is, short of resignation, they will be blamed, along with Trump. Musk is universally despised... he is a nasty, immature and ignorant man-child. Just the sort of person Putin would foist on Trump to destroy the American government. The fact that it is working, and that Trump is purposefully tanking the economy and making enemies of all of our friends seals the unholy deal.

Headline and text(edited for length): Federal judge calls out Trump administration for mischaracterizing Musk's role Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Theodore Chuang contested the Trump administration’s claim that Musk has no formal role in DOGE. Chuang, who is overseeing a lawsuit from plaintiffs who worked with or for USAID, said the characterization appeared to be “factually inaccurate.” Joshua Gardner, a Justice Dept lawyer defending DOGE in the case, struggled to explain who exactly has been leading DOGE.... Gardner also claimed that USAID had not been shuttered and was instead undergoing “a reorganization in consultation with Congress,” another claim Chuang did not appear to buy. “The wood chipper isn’t usually reorganization,” the judge replied. (Early last month, Musk announced that DOGE was "shutting down USAID.") As for the Trump administration’s continued insistence that Musk is not leading DOGE, the president’s own words were used to refute that argument on Tuesday. "I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Perhaps. Which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight," Trump said during his congressional address. Kelly McClanahan, a public interest lawyer handling a lawsuit challenging the legality of DOGE, filed the remarks in court as “new evidence” of Musk’s leadership role.

Headline and text: Judge orders DOGE member to testify Judge John Bates ruled last week that a member of DOGE must testify in a case challenging the group’s access at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services. A federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Bates said the deposition would be “necessary to determine the contours of the agency actions that plaintiffs challenge.” Musk has repeatedly called for Bates to be impeached, describing him as an “evil judge.” Andy Ogles, a House Republican from Tennessee, heeded Musk’s request, introducing articles of impeachment last month against Bates, whom he described as a “radical LGBTQ activist.”
