To survive the months ahead, your movement needs instant, unstoppable #money.  #Bitcoin is a tool to fight #authoritarians.

It's only going to be a matter of time before Trump and associates will try arresting US citizens for saying something he doesn't like. You know, like "Boycott Tesla". This is not American.

Turkish student at Tufts University is latest Palestinian supporter swept up in US crackdown

A Turkish student ambushed by federal police as she walked on the streets of a Boston suburb is the latest supporter of Palestinian causes to be swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrants who have expressed their political views. U.S.. government lawyers said Thursday that 30-year-old Rumeysa Ozturk, a doctoral student at Tufts University, had been moved out of Massachusetts by the time her lawyer went to court and a judge ordered her to be kept in the state. The lawyers said that Ozturk, who was detained Tuesday, is in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Basile, Louisiana. They said her lawyer spoke with her Wednesday night.
