24/7 #torture, on US soil, perpetrated by the #TrumpRegime:🚨Detainees recount their time in #AlligatorAuschwitz #detention.

There're💔more mosquitos than water in the showers *seldom allowed to use, open sewage, little water for washing or to drink, when it rains the toilets overflow, when they're escorted -made to walk with their hands on their heads like criminals, with 24 hour lights -can't sleep, hungry: lack of food -it's always cold...

@solomonschuler @torproject that's nit how #MassSurveillance and #DragnetSurveillanve works:

  • Having a #VPN or using it (and leaving a financial palertrail about it) makes one #suspicious.

Not to mention that under the #Trump-Regime we cannot assume that "#RuleOfLaw" and "#DueProcess" is a thing anymore, as he forcibly disappears U.S. citizens in #ConcentrationCamps overseas!

So if you want to pay for a #eMail provider, (which is good cuz all #Freemailer suck!) consider one that doesn't collect any #PII whatsoever and has anonymous payment options for you (i.e. @monocles)...

We're Publishing Our #ICE Reporting In #Spanish

We’ve been covering the technological infrastructure powering Trump’s mass #deportations for months by this point. We believe there is a high public interest in knowing what tech companies are working with #Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), what #surveillance capabilities are being used, and how those may contribute to a lack of due process.

In his telling, his alma mater had devolved into a bastion of bigotry that public money should not underwrite. He said the admin could choose, if it wished, to direct its largess toward other institutions. The case, he argued, was more about money for #Harvard than any profound matters like #FreeSpeech.

Judge Burroughs suggested that Harvard might very well not be such a titan of American academia if the #Trump admin’s cuts stand.

Continued thread

Velchik, himself a #Harvard alumnus, scrambled on Monday to argue that the government was not seeking to decapitate Harvard. Naming a handful of luminaries who had studied at Harvard — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., President John F. Kennedy and even the actor Matt Damon — he insisted that the government was seeking to strengthen and reshape an important American institution that had lost its way.

“What I’m wrestling with is this idea that the executive branch can decide what is discriminatory or racist,” she said, and then make “these ad hoc decisions without any procedure around it.”

She also appeared dismissive of the government’s contention that a different court, one dealing with financial disputes, should be hearing the case instead of her own.

Continued thread

#Harvard, he said, “should have read the fine print.”

Harvard has sharply disputed the idea that it condones discrimination. Steven P. Lehotsky, a lawyer for Harvard, told Judge Burroughs on Monday that the #Trump admin’s quest to punish Harvard was a “blatant, unrepentant violation of the #FirstAmendment.”

He added, “It’s the constitutional third rail, or it should be, for the government to insist it can engage in viewpoint discrimination.”

Continued thread

…Michael Velchik, the #DOJ lawyer at the hearing, asserted on Monday that the #Trump admin had the #power to decide where it spent taxpayer money.

“The choice was that the government does not want to fund research at institutions that fail to address antisemitism to its satisfaction,” he said, arguing that #Harvard’s rejection of the admin’s terms freed the admin to terminate any contracts with the #university.

Continued thread

The judge unleashed a barrage of pointed questions at the lone #DOJ lawyer. She demanded to know, for instance, how the #Trump admin could reasonably tie withdrawal of #medical #research #funding to concerns about the civil rights of Jewish people.

And she appeared bothered by the admin’s hurried approach to attacking #Harvard’s research funding, suggesting there were potentially “staggering” constitutional consequences if the govt could punish a #university without #DueProcess.

A federal judge appeared deeply skeptical on Monday of the #Trump admin’s efforts to strip #HarvardUniversity of billions of dollars in #research #funding, suggesting the school might prevail in its #legal battle against the admin.
Judge Allison D. Burroughs did not issue a ruling…, but she did seem receptive to #Harvard’s arguments, as both the #school & the #DOJ sought to have the case decided in their favor without a trial.

Harvard University is asking a federal judge to order the restoration of billions of dollars in federal funding that the Trump administration has taken away.
