#US will abandon #Ukraine peace efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made, #Rubio warns
The #UnitedStates could end its efforts on ending the Ukrainian conflict within “days” if there are no signs of progress, US Secy of #State #MarcoRubio warned Friday.
I’m old enough to remember that #Trump claimed he would end the war in 24 hours if he got elected.

In 2013, then-Sen. #MarcoRubio underscored the importance of these audits, saying they shed light on "foreign governments' failure to respect" citizens' fundamental rights … from the #SexualExploitation of #women & #children to the denial of #PoliticalRights to *#minorities*."
He said the reports show that "the #UnitedStates will stand with #freedom-seeking people around the world."

Turns out I'm still a writer. New today on NIDC:
Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American Dictatorship
"Step by step the Christian Nationalist Trump regime has followed a playbook that transforms fascist propaganda into administrative reality, while purposely fracturing the rule of law to liberate itself from judicial oversight. If the United States was a Middle Eastern oil-producing nation full of Muslims, our government would be openly advocating for an invasion to “liberate” the American people and stop “tyranny.” Of course, maybe none of that matters anyway because unless someone stops him, there will be no law in this country except Trump’s word, and no America to save, except what Trump wills America to be."

#Palestinian Student Leader Was Called In for Citizenship Interview — Then Arrested by #ICE
A green card holder, #ColumbiaUniversity protest leader #MohsenMahdawi faced attacks from pro-#Israel activists.
By Akela Lacy, April 14, 2025
"Mohsen K. Mahdawi arrived at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in #ColchesterVT, on Monday. A Palestinian student at Columbia University, he hoped that, after 10 years in the U.S., he would pass the test to become a naturalized citizen.
Instead, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him and began the process to deport him to the occupied West Bank. #Mahdawi, a leader of the campus protest movement against Israel’s war on Gaza, became yet another green card holder arrested and facing removal.
"'#MohsenMahdawi was unlawfully detained today for no reason other than his Palestinian identity,' Mahdawi’s attorney Luna Droubi said in a statement to The Intercept. 'He came to this country hoping to be free to speak out about the atrocities he has witnessed, only to be punished for such speech.'
"Mahdawi’s lawyers filed a habeas corpus petition on Monday morning challenging the legality of his detention, alleging the government was violating his statutory and #DueProcess rights by punishing him for speech related to Palestine and Israel. The filing said it appears that Mahdawi was facing deportation under the obscure provision used in other recent cases that gives Secretary of State #MarcoRubio the right to unilaterally declare immigrants as threats to American foreign policy."

The New Republic · State Department Memo on Abducted Tufts Student Exposes Rubio’s LiesHere’s the truth about the evidence against Tufts University student Rümeysa Öztürk.
Continued thread
In a sign that the Trump regime plans to continue its fascist repression of student protestors legally in the US and dissent in general, even as its authority to do so is being challenged in court, ICE has kidnapped another Columbia University anti-genocide protest leader. Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian who has legally been studying in the United States for the past 10 years, was arrested by ICE as he arrived for a citizenship test; now the regime seems intent on deporting him under the familiar Calvinball argument that Marco Rubio can deport anyone he deems "detrimental to U.S. foreign policy interests" on a whim; a tactic the administration has used to justify prior attempts to deport political prisoners Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk, among others:

Palestinian Student Leader Was Called In for Citizenship Interview — Then Arrested by ICE
"Even before his friend and fellow Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by immigration authorities, Mahdawi asked university administrators to help him find a safe place to live so he would not be taken by ICE agents, according to emails reviewed by The Intercept. The school did nothing in response, Mahdawi said.
After ICE abducted Khalil last month, Mahdawi sheltered in place for more than three weeks for fear of being picked up himself.
Instead of taking him off the street, however, immigration authorities scheduled the citizenship test at the Colchester USCIS office and took Mahdawi into custody when he arrived.
Now, Mahdawi is facing an order to deport him to the occupied West Bank, where escalating attacks from both the Israeli military and Jewish settlers have led to increased casualties among Palestinians.
“It’s kind of a death sentence,” Mahdawi said. “Because my people are being killed unjustly in an indiscriminate way.”
Please also note that a number of other kidnapping targets taken by ICE, Mahdawi was previously marked out for reprisal by pro-Zionist smear group Canary Mission, and Betar, a far right hate group that's widely considered a fascist organization even in Israel; because apparently US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now taking foreign policy and national security advice from ultra-Zionist extremist hate groups that openly advocate for violence against Palestinians and protestors. Like all of the other anti-genocide protestors the regime has kidnapped, there is no evidence that Mahdawi is a "terrorist" or committed any serious crimes, except of course the Trump administration's argument that protesting a genocide is in and of itself, domestic terrorism.
