Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University anti-genocide activist recently kidnapped in a Trump fascist raid, separated from his family, and transported from New York City to a concentration camp in the onetime slave state of Louisiana
We truly are "gradually" losing our freedom of speech. This is truly Anti-Constitutional and it makes my brain "scream" when our (supposed) leader says that he believes in "Freedom of Speech" this isn't true! It's only true for people like him that spew lies all the time! Truth doesn't even come into the picture anymore. It's not good for all it's only good for "him."
"Back in the day" (1970) students all across the country responded to that time's incarnation of fascism--arguably milder than today's--with the nationwide student strike. I wonder whether something like that will materialize today?
Thank you to Robert Kolkebeck for catching a few mistakes!

A probable mistake: in about the 4th paragraph the word "been" seems to have been left out of the first sentence.

Goodness, someone is cranky today...
