"This is how it begins.

Tuesday night, Tufts University PhD student #RumeysaOzturk was going out to a restaurant to meet friends when masked federal #ICE agents dressed in street clothes seized her off a public sidewalk and disappeared her. Her apparent crime was co-authoring an op-ed critical of #Trump & #Netanyahu."

She Stepped Onto a Sidewalk in Boston — and Vanished Into Trump’s Shadow State

Masked ICE agents are now snatching dissidents off the streets like a scene from Stalin’s Russia. This isn’t speculative fiction. It’s happening right now, in America…

"Columbia student #MahmoudKhalil remains in the hellhole of a notoriously brutal private prison in #Louisiana for daring to speak out against the #Israeli slaughter of Gazans.

And #Columbia student #YunseoChung, who’s been a legal permanent resident of the #US since she was 7 years old, is in hiding while her lawyers sue to prevent her arrest for also speaking up about the violence #Netanyahu is inflicting on people in #Gaza."

"Neri Alvarado was working as a baker in Dallas, caring for his 15-year-old brother who has #autism. He even got a #tattoo celebrating “autism awareness month” in support of his younger sibling.

So #Trump — with no legal process whatsoever, in complete defiance of our #Constitution and the Bill of Rights — kidnapped him and deported him to one of the world’s most notorious prisons in #ElSalvador, citing the tattoo as justification."

"The goal of this sort of kidnapping and hellish incarceration isn’t to clear the streets of criminals or promote public safety or even prevent immigration: it’s to create #terror. And it’s working.

This is a playbook as ancient as the world’s first kings...

every #tyrant throughout #history has used the threat of arrest and imprisonment as a way to force public compliance with their regime."

"It's not too late to stop this train, although it gets more difficult with every day that goes by, every media outlet that rolls over and pays off, every law firm that grovels before Trump. The key — as it has been throughout history — is to mobilize public opinion...

History suggests that mobilizing 3.5% of the populace of a country is enough to produce change"

@ZhiZhu The longer we take to get moving, the more violent this will get before it's over.
