A top #Trump appointee in the #DOJ ordered an aggressive investigation…of #student #protesters at #ColumbiaUniversity, raising anger & alarm among career prosecutors & investigators who saw it as politically motivated & lacking legal merit….

The demand for the inquiry into #students who protested #Israel’s conduct…in #Gaza also prompted pushback from a federal magistrate judge, who believed some of the steps being sought by… #EmilBove were unjustified & might violate the #FirstAmendment.

#Columbia student #MohsenMahdawi is released from detention

Mohsen Mahdawi, a #ColumbiaUniversity student arrested & detained by masked #immigration agents after his naturalization interview in Vermont, has been #released from #detention while his case proceeds.

US District Judge Geoffrey Crawford said Wednesday that Mahdawi's detention for 2 weeks, "so far demonstrates great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime."

To our utter shock and horror, it turns out that #zionists are liars. #breakthroughnews were interviewed by #haaretz about #studentencampments and the “journalist” couldn’t wait trying to twist the conversation over to the inevitable fabricated #antisemitism scare at #columbiauniversity.

If you needed further evidence that the #zionistentity is flailing and circling the drain, this is it 😂

Time and time again Israel's narrative has been exposed as false, and even their most 'liberal' news outlets are having tantrums about it.

"Haaretz presents itself as the liberal, open-minded newspaper in Israeli society, and yet here they are, hanging up on their own interview because they didn't like my answers, going so far as to encourage me to change my answers to get this interview published."

#HarvardUniversity knew they could afford to make a stand. I hope they stick to their guns! #Capitulation by any university WILL be considered weakness (yeah, I'm looking at you, #ColumbiaUniversity, who still haven't received their funding, despite caving)...

#Trump adds new threat after #Harvard rejects demands

Story by Matthew Atungwu, April 16, 2025

"US President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status, demanding an apology from the university, a day after it rejected what it called unlawful demands to overhaul academic programs or lose federal grants."

'Terms like “quislings,” “Thermidor,” “Vichy,” and “submission” have circulated widely in articles denouncing #Columbia’s surrender, zeroing in on betrayal as the proper note to strike. But it is not really betrayal when those committing the action have no investment in the principles betrayed.'
