"Trump administration texted college professors' personal phones to ask if they're Jewish."

As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview.

But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes.
This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over.

Folks, please don’t be so hard on Labour.
It’s not easy laying the foundations for the UK’s upcoming fascist government. (The Democrats should know; it takes dedicated effort.)
They’re working as hard as they can as it is to ensure the UK follows in the footsteps of the US.

"What Donald Trump did on Friday should make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Trump literally fabricated evidence in an effort to keep Abrego Garcia in a prison in El Salvador.

#Trump posted a photo of himself holding up a picture claiming to show #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s tattoos that prove he’s MS-13.
The picture he’s holding has obviously been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.
The source of this BS is a neo-Nazi X user who claims the tattoos are code for “MS-13.”
