💬 Dedicarse conscientemente a desinformar y tergiversar -en contra de toda evidencia- debería estar severamente penado y, sobre todo, debería producirnos a todos el mayor de los rechazos. Es una vergüenza lo que hacen algunos periodistas, algunos políticos y algunos expertos.

These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.

Rubio says he is deporting students for antisemitism, but its a cover for hime to pursue attacks on higher education and immigrant students. The fact that he launders his views with actual antisemites gives the game away. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-attack...

A letter from Jewish Georgetown students, staff and faculty called for release of their colleague, Badar Khan Suri, noting how Trump was also putting them at risk:

President Trump is weaponizing Jewish identity, faith, and fears of antisemitism as a smokescreen for his authoritarian agenda, further damaging the campus climate for everyone. Making Jews the face of this autocratic initiative feeds antisemitic conspiracy theories and is dangerous for Jews, on campuses and beyond.
