The #FarRight Group Building a List of Pro-Palestine Activists to Deport

#BetarUS said it has shared with the Trump administration a list of the “names of hundreds of terror supporters.”

"This conflation of speech critical to #Israel with #antisemitism or support of Hamas will do little to protect Jews in the United States from hate, said #JonahRubin, with #JewishVoiceForPeace, a progressive #JewishAmerican group that advocates for #Palestinian #HumanRights."

Jonah Valdez

"The premise behind Trump’s more recent order is rooted in #ProjectEsther: a treatise by the authors of #Project2025. The document was billed as 'a blueprint to counter antisemitism' and offered strategies to target and silence critics of Israel, including deportation. A fact sheet about the executive order related by the Trump administration mirrored language from Project Esther and laid bare the order’s intent to 'cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses,' vowing to deport 'all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests.'

"Such ideas are increasingly gaining purchase in conservative discourse. Pledges to deport supporters of Palestinian rights were a key part of the Republican Party’s platform. A congressional bill introduced last May called for similar measures.

"#Academia is a key focus of Project Esther and Trump’s executive orders. While the most recent order instructs all agencies within the executive branch to take part in the crackdown, it encourages #surveillance in specific areas, such as #universities and even K-12 schools, where administrators are being told to monitor and report #InternationalStudents for possible deportation.

"On Monday, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights launched investigations into five schools — #ColumbiaUniversity; #UCLABerkley; #NorthwesternUniversity; #UniversityOfMinnesota, Twin Cities; and #PortlandStateUniversity — for #antisemitism, the first use of the executive order.

"'Americans and college students that visit the United States should be able to protest the #Israeli government’s human rights violations in the same way that the United United Nations, the International Criminal Court [#ICC], #AmnestyInternational, #HumanRightsWatch, and other respected institutions have for the past several years, without fear of retaliation,' said Robert McCaw, a leader with the Council on American-Islamic Relations who heads the government affairs department. He decried the order’s fact sheet of peddling anti-Muslim terms such as 'pro-Jihad.'"

"Trump’s efforts have inspired a grassroots campaign to identify possible targets for deportation. On #SocialMedia, groups such as #MothersAgainstCollegeAntisemitism and the #ChicagoJewishAlliance have shared links to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line and called on people to report 'foreign students and faculty who support Hamas' and 'students on visas who are suspected of engaging in pro-terror activities,' respectively."

Hail to Purple, hail to White! #puzzle #NorthwesternUniversity

Spent last Apr & May in Chicago after a performance at NU's Block Cinema. One of many screenings I attended while there was “Adwa: An African Victory” w/Haile Gerima in-person, which drew many Black activists and artists. Found myself sitting next to travis of ONO; told him I had photos of their Lakefill gig where he was playing on the hood of an old Impala. Finally scanned the negs.

Most likely 20 May 1984.

This is crazy. Peaceful and legal protests are possible, as #NorthwesternUniversity's example shows.

I'm excited to announce that Lilli Carré's exquisite animated sequence "Chicago, Illinois, 1953," which is narrated by Lili Taylor and appears in my film ROY'S WORLD, will be part of the NU Animation Jam next Tuesday, November 14. The event is *free* and will include a whole bunch of other cool shorts, and I'll be participating in the Q & A. Hope you can make it!

I remember the day #KurtCobain died so clearly. It was April 5, 1994; I was a senior at #NorthwesternUniversity.

I had no classes that day. I woke up, showered, and put on combat boots, brown linen pants, black t shirt & my #SocialDistortion Skelly hat.

(Why I recall my outfit I have no idea.)

I heard on the radio that they ‘found a body' in Cobain's house & didn't think much of it. I figured somebody had OD'd and maybe it was him - but prolly not because he should be happy with his phenomenal success, no?

I walked over to a friends' apartment. We were hanging out & drinking MGD when the real news came out. We were stunned.

I have no recollection what the rest of the day was like, what we talked about or anything. I wish he'd gotten the help he needed.
