Summary
Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish student at Tufts University, was detained in Somerville, MA, by masked agents claiming to be police, without charges or transparency.
The Trump administration alleges she supported Hamas, citing unverified intelligence, after her student visa was revoked.
Der Spiegel linked her detention to pro-Palestinian advocacy, including an opinion piece urging divestment from Israel.
The incident sparked outrage, highlighting long-standing surveillance and detainment of Muslim Americans under national security pretenses.
Civil liberties advocates warn of increasing government overreach targeting minority communities.
This is telling people to vote. (for Dems.) Because this is what happens when you vote otherwise.
Yeah, you’re not helping by saying shit like this.
And this is coming from someone who is hated by many on this site for calling out the protest voters/non-voters.
We need to vote against fascism when it’s on the ballot, and this last election it was and in this case, the Democrats were the only choice. But let’s not pretend that they’re a good party.
Me: “vote”.
You: “you’re not helping”
Unbelievable.
No you said that “this is what happens when you don’t vote Dem.” These people have defined their entire personalities around hating the Democratic party. That’s as deep as it goes for most of them. Telling them that just makes it worse.
Maybe just take the criticism and move on? Otherwise it might start to seem like you’re intentionally trying to make the left look bad.
Ditto.
Can you point to the criticism you made so I can take it?
