Please watch Jonathan Randall's video. I've reached out to Randall and he has confirmed that this is REAL. Not staged. Randall was booked to perform a set on the 28th, only to be told AN HOUR BEFORE his show that he was canceled because he supported Palestine. And on top of that, one of the bouncers for the Fear City Comedy Club assaulted him in the street. In NYC.

This is nothing less than SA/brownshirt tactics.

Private groups work to identify & report #student #protesters for possible #deportation

When a protester was caught on video in January at a NY rally against #Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask & headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along w/her name & employer, were circulated online.

#Trump takes aim at foreign-born college students, with 300 visas revoked

Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning

By Daniella Silva, Chloe Atkins, Julia Ainsley and Abigail Williams, March 27, 2025

"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more #StudentVisas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be #activism.

"Rubio warned that the administration was looking out for 'these lunatics.' Around the country, #scholars have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in #DetentionCenters, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained.

"'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.

"Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation.

"And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus #protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.

"The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to #FreeSpeech and to assemble, experts and advocates said."

Other countries take the Marco Rubio approach to foreigners engaging in politics.

Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution:

Los extranjeros no podrán de ninguna manera inmiscuirse en los asuntos políticos del país.
--
Foreigners may not interfere in the country's political affairs under any circumstances.

I usually respect the #media but here is a recent example of media stupidity:
Dan Pfeiffer wrote: "The White House press corps has finally coalesced around a collective action to respond to the authoritarian attacks on the Freedom of the Press, and they landed on: wearing a pin."

"Beyond cracking down on protest on campus, Columbia has essentially ended its status as an independent intellectual institution."

Here is just one more reason why anyone that is anti-fascist and truly for free speech should be using Lemmy, Mbin and Kbin instead of Reddit:

Screen shot of article from The Verge with byline "Elon Musk pressured Reddit's CEO on content moderation / Reddit took action after Musk messaged CEO Steve Huffman about users blocking X links and threatening DOGE staffers."


Trump so far has not imposed censorship on online media.

Though his kidnappings of university anti-genocide activists is disguised censorship.

Musk's XTwitter has done censorship frequently while Elon pretends to be in favour of unrestricted free speech.

Google has done censorship with Youtube.

Wondering if/when anti-#Genocide in #Gaza videos on YT will be blocked. And if/when similar will occur on XTwitter.

Today in Labor History March 23, 1918: 101 IWW members went on trial in Chicago for opposing World War I and for violating the Espionage Act. In September, 1917, 165 IWW leaders were arrested for conspiring to subvert the draft and encourage desertion. Their trial lasted five months, the longest criminal trial in American history up to that time. The jury found them all guilty. The judge sentenced Big Bill Haywood and 14 others to 20 years in prison. 33 others were given 10 years each. They were also fined a total of $2,500,000. The trial virtually destroyed the IWW. Haywood jumped bail and fled to the USSR, where he remained until his death 10 years later.

"A Statement by Members of the Teachers College, #Columbia #University Faculty

The Attack on American #Education, ..

The intention of the Trump administration is clear. By gutting important systems of education, they can shape our thoughts and words, creating a new generation without the skills required to actively participate in our #democracy ...

We call on university leaders, on our #campus and beyond, to use all of the tools at their disposal, including collective efforts across the sector and litigation, to stand for academic #freedom, and for First Amendment rights of #freespeech, inquiry, and debate, and thus to stand for our democracy."

re: "It would be a waste of time and energy."

um... what do you think they so urgently need to be doing with their time and energy, that's more important than fighting like hell to stop a totalitarian fascist tyrant from consolidating power?

In April 2024, a mob attacked a pro-#Palestinians #studentintifada encampment at #UCLA... The #LAPD and #UCSecurity stood by and watched the assault for nearly five hours before intervening... The lawsuit, filed Thursday in LA Superior Court, comes as the US government deploys all of its might to restrict speech on @palestine in the name of eradicating #antisemitism..."

Another example of a #CRIMINALACT by #ICE, @LATimes. #FreeSpeech DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PROMOTE #CriminalActivity by ANYONE, including your #NAZIs regime in power currently, bitches.

Members of the Jewish community have taken over Trump Tower in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, chanting, “We want justice! You say how? Bring Mahmoud home now!” They are also drawing parallels between Trump’s ICE and Hitler’s Gestapo, condemning the intimidation tactics used against people.

“Donald Trump's free speech plans are going extremely well...for those who support genocide...”

by Laura and Normal Island News on Substack

“Mahmoud Khalil is a Palestinian Hamas-loving terrorist who is guilty of speaking while being brown. Among his monstrous crimes was distributing leaflets at Columbia University. This is clearly unforgivable”

A great piece from Dave Milner. On the madness that is the casual acceptance (and censorship) of colonialism, genocide and oppression.

"Now, again, why am I writing such a basic, supposedly uncontroversial account of the roots of the Israel Palestine conflict in 2025? Because I am concerned that one day soon I might not be able to do so. And I am concerned about this, again, because of historic patterns."

"Trump's disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil should be a warning for us all. If Trump has his way, Kahlil will be just the first of many. …

This episode is the latest in what the left warned would be Trump’s anti-democratic crusade were he to be re-elected. What New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg calls the 'Greatest Threat to Free Speech Since the Red Scare.'”

"WASHINGTON— (After) authorities seize(d) the man’s property and detain him in an undisclosed location, FBI director Kash Patel announced (they) had uncovered 43 terabytes of free speech from local protestor Andrew Wyman’s residence. “Every American should be chilled to the core by the overwhelming display of constitutionally protected speech we found on this deviant’s computer and phone,” Patel said"
