There’s a reason why my people banned you from our homelands. That is our homeland security against settler fascists like you.
I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW. If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison.

It's simply untrue that, compared to 2017 mass resistance, we are seeing mass quiescence. February '25 saw 2x as many protests as Feb '17. This data doesn't include Bernie 'fighting oligarchy' huge rallies, or the disruptions at GOP & Dem town halls. But there are differences 1/3

The next targets are feminist studies, Black studies, ethnic studies. People cheering for government interference in higher education, unis that stepped on the 1st amendment & student protest, "radical" professors who remained silent: your actions made everyone more vulnerable
You will never appease facists. Never. Columbia has worked overtime to appease them: using facial recognition tech to monitor us, firing deans, closing the gates, and for what? Students are miserable. Campus is a panopticon. And their funding was still cut.

This is a straight up violation of academic freedom. It is overtly homophobic and racist. It should ultimately be found unconstitutional but people have to fight the damage in the meantime. It discredits the NIH's reason for existing. link below

This public humiliation of an American proxy is extraordinary to watch. But remember, as he so often does, Trump is just laying out openly what the relationship between the American master and its foreign puppets has always been – albeit kept usually behind closed doors
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇺🇦 President Trump and VP Vance slam Zelensky for being disrespectful. "Do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?"
