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The Trump administration alleges she supported Hamas, citing unverified intelligence, after her student visa was revoked.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.

    Go check the vote counts; the leftists justifiably calling Biden “genocide Joe” remained the same as it always has, excluding Obama, (as did the Republicans’ vote counts also did). the Democrat vote counts took a sizeable dip in this election.

    Democrats aren’t even coalition building w their fellow Democrats anymore and blue-maga takes like these explain why and it’s going to keep getting worse until you stop drinking the Kool aid.

      the Democrat vote counts took a sizeable dip in this election.

      You know that most leftists are registered as democrats, right?

      And the irony of a .ml telling someone to stop drinking kool aid is not lost on me at all. lol

        Democrats are overwhelmingly made up of liberals and I said vote counts, not registered voters; nice spin to redirect the point btw.

        I wish it were irony that another .world liberal would conflate liberals w leftists and try to bend reality to suit their narrative, but it’s only sadly indicative of how little they pay attention and of how much ignorance they willfully maintain.
