On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

Judge bars deportation of pro-Palestine Georgetown University student

We have been reporting on the case of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian man studying at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, who has been detained by US immigration authorities and is facing deportation for allegedly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda.

US District Judge Patricia Giles in Alexandria, Virginia, has now ordered US President Donald Trump’s administration not to deport Suri until the order is lifted.

Suri’s lawyer welcomed Thursday’s ruling and called it “the first bit of due process Dr Khan Suri has received since he was snatched from his family Monday night” outside his home in Rosslyn, Virginia.

Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, is living in the US on a student visa and is married to an American citizen.

His arrest comes amid the Trump administration’s efforts to deport foreigners accused of taking part in pro-Palestine protests, including Columbia University student and US permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil.

University student suing Trump administration faces deportation

A Cornell University research student suing the Trump administration to stop deportations of pro-Palestinian foreign students has been ordered to surrender to immigration authorities for deportation.

The Guardian news reports that Momodou Taal, a dual citizen of the UK and The Gambia, first became aware he was being targeted for deportation when unidentified law enforcement officers came to his home seeking to detain him.

The visit took place just days after the lawsuit was filed.

In a statement published to social media, Taal’s lawyer, Eric Lee, said the government’s actions were unconstitutional.

“We are outraged, and every American should be too. We urge the population to defend the right to freedom of speech against the urgent threat of dictatorship by exercising that right actively and vigorously,” he said.

Yunseo Chung, a 21-year-old Columbia University student, and former high school valedictorian, is suing the Trump administration over efforts to deport her. Chung, who moved to the U.S. from South Korea at age 7 and holds lawful permanent resident status, participated in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia. Following her involvement in a protest on March 5, ICE agents visited her family’s residence and searched her dorm room, claiming her presence in the U.S. obstructs the administration’s foreign policy goals. Chung’s lawsuit alleges that ICE’s actions infringe upon her freedom of expression and are part of a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists.

One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance.

Upon scanning the catalog I noticed that, while there is a little bit of discussion of lockpicking and physical security bypasses, there is not much talk in securing your identity as you traverse meatspace, so I have brought to you a slew of questions and propositions relating to exactly that.

The main goals of this thread are:
- Especially, to determine the most cost-effective, stealthy means of exterminating threats to your physical anonymity. This can range anywhere from the humble sling and slingshot, to spraypaint, to paintball and BB and water guns, to plastic bags and tape, to ropes and blunt objects, or even to cheap lasers or computer cracking.
- To determine the most efficient way to move from point A to point B while remaining unseen for a contiguous stretch of at least 20% of the journey. This is focused mainly on distances of less than a kilometer.
- To determine how to best conceal the originating point of your route in highly surveilled locations. This may involve wearing draped clothing like a cloak, dipping in and out of backyards, entering a crowded spot from a surveilled point and exiting at a less surveilled point, or just taking as long and roundabout of a route as possible to make it difficult to follow you back in time- etc.

Let us use the United States as a prime example of the prominence of surveillance cameras.
According to this article from The Verge[0], there is one camera for every 4,6 people in the United States, amounting to 70.000.000 cameras.
There are 330.000.000 people in the USA, of which ~270.000.000 have 15+ years of age. If as many as 1 in every 500 of those people were displeased enough to destroy those cameras, each one would have to destroy 207 cameras in order to eliminate them all. While this does not seem infeasible (a fun weekend project, at most), given that the French managed to rile up enough people to destroy 60% of all speed cameras in their country with ease[1], it is likely that the ratio of annoyed citizens to panopticon devices is much more fortunate than 1/500.

If any movement towards a systematic destruction of the surveillance state is to be accomplished, there is one barrier remaining- widespread knowledge of proper OPSEC and effective stragies.

That is to say, when an individual comes to the conclusion that they ought to do something about this problem, they are forced to individually think through the details of moving about the world withoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

Perhaps more self-sabotage than worker sabotage, but I remember in the US post-pandemic strike wave, John Deere hired scabs and one crashed a tractor before the strike even began.

Speaking of scabs and low-risk tactics, Kellogg's also hired scabs that year and the /r/antiwork community raided them with fake job applications. It's a nice example of external sabotage, where sometimes even international comrades can help in their spare time.

Why just about nobody seems to care about risk of strong solar storm on the scale of the carrington event?

Why there are no procedures made, spare transformers produced, emergency food and supplies stored around major cities, etc?

People care about climate change risks slowly damaging civilization over decades, and here we have risk (also scientifically and historically proven) that can just randomly disable worldwide electricity next year (extremely unlikely) or during the next 200 years (LIKELY) and we are doing nothing?

What is the logic in this? "Unlike climate change it will happen randomly, it may happen in 2054 or 2077, we may be already dead, we don't care"?
(No, nobody said that, I'm just trying to imagine reasons needed to ignore the issue).

Do you care about people who are now small children?

"It will PROBABLY not happen during my remaining lifetime, I'm fine with only 10% risk of dying from hunger or disorder among collapsing civilization"?

What is the logic here? What is the plan?

>I don't know, man. Did you see that poll in which they immediately changed their programing about Zelenski? These are basically lizard people in a cult.
I haven't seen that poll so I'm out of context. But in general, there is a type of propaganda echo chamber, that contains the careless opinions. This is about topics people lack any interest or motivation to put any effort into knowing stuff. Zelenski-opinions are for the most part such careless opinions , because it doesn't affect people if what they know about Zelenski is wrong. And for that reason careless opinions are just a type of noise people make where they repeat the same noises they hear in their environment.

Propagandists often celebrate this as brainwashing wins, but careless opinions do not form the bases for anything real. As soon as people have to use information to make decisions, the effect of manipulating careless opinions is almost nonexistent.

So if you can see them flip the narrative about Zelenski, that means people didn't gave a shit in the first place.

It appears that Ukraine isn't even at the bargaining table, it seems to be that the US and Russia are going to decide Ukraine's future.

>Not only they captured some Russian soil,

The Kursk incursion doesn't represent a bargaining chip imho, because the Ukrainians are not able to hold on to it. It's unlikely the Russians would choose to bargain for territory they can recapture. Last i heard about this was when the Russians said they would consider Ukrainian soldier in Kursk as terrorists rather than prisoners of war and the US was bargaining with the Russians to not just liquidate those men.

>but they've also gotten pretty good at hitting targets within Russia without the help of the west.

The Ukrainians did manage to shoot drones and stuff into Russia, but not at a scale where it causes lots of disruptions, so mostly militarily ineffective. I think the intended purpose of those attacks was about torpedoing diplomatic efforts, and to create a false appearance that Ukraine was on the offensive.

From the people that brought you The Great Recession:

Wells Fargo envisions a postal service where the mail is kept as a taxpayer-funded government entity while the package and parcel components, which are more profitable, are “sold or IPOed.” In order for the new private company to earn a decent profit, “USPS would need to raise prices by ~30-140% across its product line.”

A privatized postal system would also take aim at the Universal Service Obligation, which requires mail to be delivered to every address six days a week. Such dedication to equitable service “would be a challenge for a third-party operator to profitably move mail and packages,” the memo complains. This move would also put pressure on the proposed mail-only service, which would likely be financially hobbled, to downgrade from six-day delivery as well.

DOGE’s assault on federal workers has seemingly given Wells Fargo inspiration. Citing “recent DOGE efforts on federal cost control,” it recommends that postal employees be given a “deferred buyout offer to leave or layoffs could ensue.” Taking a page from the UK’s Royal Mail privatization in 2013, it suggests that the government take over all pension liabilities and not offer them to workers at the new private company.

With surprising candor, the memo admits that privatization will cause “less job security amid inevitable loss of union protections, loss of pension benefits, higher healthcare costs and employee/wage restructuring.”

With post offices in every zip code, it’s not surprising that Wells Fargo is also looking at real estate as a major source of profit. The company estimates the real estate value for the USPS to be as much as $88 billion. This includes “smaller post office facilities” Wells Fargo would love to sell off or lease. These post offices serve as critical pieces of public infrastructure, especially in small towns and rural areas.

In this week edition of China lapping everybody else's tech:

BYD's new battery pack can be recharged to half full in 5 minutes, adding 400km or 250miles of range to the car it comes installed in. Which is on paar with refilling a gas tank. Soaking up those electrons at a whopping rate of One Megawatt. To be fair, that's probably not going to be the mode that maxes battery health. And if you want to install a bunch of charging stations you might have to look into small modular nuclear reactors.

I really did not expect big leaps in tech for batteries, batteries are over 200 years old, as such one would expect only incremental improvements. They're approaching hybrid capacitor territory in terms of power density.

I also just realized that this means they have to do 1000 amps at one kV for the charging cable. It's going to be a thick boy, and likely need water cooling. It also likely will vaporize you if you short it out.

If anything, battery advancements have been lagging behind. They should be much more advanced by now, and there's been a longstanding theory that part of the reason they aren't is that if they were massively improved then they'd sell less of them.

>If anything, battery advancements have been lagging behind. They should be much more advanced by now,
Ok i've never heard that perspective before. I guess it's reasonable, batteries have been a weak-spot in many technologies.

>and there's been a longstanding theory that part of the reason they aren't is that if they were massively improved then they'd sell less of them.

I can see the logic, making batteries that wear out quickly, makes for a convenient way to introduce obsolescence. But there are a lot of people who still avoid battery operated devices where ever possible because they do not want to deal with "battery-headaches". If batteries were as robust as a "electricity bucket", they would likely see an overall increase in use. When LEDs had massive improvements adoption increase exponentially. If there really was something like cartel shenanigans, that probably was to their detriment.

I guess we'll see what's what. If they really shelved battery tech because it was too good, the Chinese will likely figure those out and just run with it. And the "tech-shelvers" will have egg on their face for having missed the opportunity to take the industry crown while they had the chance.

>What kind of batteries are they, though?
Don't know. TBH haven't looked into it, i guess we'll have to wait until this gets reverse engineered.

>I won't be impressed by electric vehicles until they can store large amounts of energy in a way that doesn't require enormous amounts of scarce metals. Advancements in pure carbon batteries are what we should be looking towards.

Pure carbon batteries ? I'm having trouble imagining what kind of battery chemistry that would be.

I think you're waiting for sodium(Na) or aluminum batteries ? As far as metals go those are pretty abundant.
I mean Lithium is kinda rare, but it's not that bad. The politics around Lithium are a bigger problem, Lithium deposits are concentrated in certain regions, that creates geo-political struggle. Sodium and Aluminum can be had almost everywhere, so there is less potential for shitfuckery.

Also i think that the future of cars will not be in the form of personal vehicles. They'll become part of the infrastructure, … eventually. In the soon-ish future cars will become mostly rentals that substitute public transport. Once auto-pilots work flawlessly they will eventually shift towards turning into a component of a road network. Big cities will go for fully integrated transport systems that not only drive on auto-pilot but also optimize traffic flows to fix or at least reduce congestion. The org that builds roads, tunnels and bridges will also be the one that furnishes those with cars. I hope people will not start calling those "pods" The point of bringing this up is because in that environment it'll probably be rather easy to optimize away a lot of need for huge battery capacity. Personal vehicles will remain outside of cities, tho.

So the EU is apparently pondering to make a mandatory pedo scanner for software.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2022%2F05%2F11%2Feu-csam-detection-plan%2F

Many people have pointed out that this is just a pretext to attack:
privacy
IT security
and maybe even free open source software.

Many people think it's surveillance organizations them selves that are uploading the CSAM on purpose to push for laws that expand their legal permissions.

And all of the above is undoubtedly true.
Consider that if you invert the assumption of innocence and declare that wanting privacy makes you into a pedo-suspect that means that secret organizations have to be considered pedo-guilty by default, because they can't prove their innocence while keeping their secrets either.

If you argue that effective encryption that can't be broken which is absolutely necessary for the very concept of privacy, has to be undermined for the pedo-scanner. Then that same argument has to be made for proprietary software. Many pieces of proprietary software are in the range of tens or hundreds of gigabytes, and without publicly available source-code it's possible to hide a huge assortment of pedo-content in there. By contrast it's not possible to hide pedo-stuff in open source software.

Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and possible presidential candidate for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), was detained on two separate charges in a police raid on his home early Wednesday morning.

The police-state crackdown sparked mass protests across the country. After hundreds of municipal workers demonstrated in front of the Şişli Municipality, hundreds of students at Istanbul University organized a protest, defying Istanbul Governorship’s four-day ban on all protests.

Police reinforcements were deployed by the police chief to the security directorate in Istanbul where İmamoğlu is being detained, while crowds gathered behind the barricades to protest his detention. Thousands took to the streets in many cities, including Izmir and Ankara.

Police detained İmamoğlu on charges of “leading [a] benefit-oriented criminal organization” along with 106 people, including mayors, municipality officials, journalists and artists. İmamoğlu and seven others, including Şişli and Beylikdüzü mayors and municipal officials, were also detained on charges of “aiding the terrorist organization,” i.e., the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The Sosyalist Eşitlik Grubu (SEG), the Turkish section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, issued a statement on X condemning the Erdoğan regime’s police state repression, which abolishes basic democratic rights, including the right to vote and be elected, and calling for the immediate release of those detained.

UK’s poorest households now worse off than poorest households in Slovenia, analysis shows

At Scawthorpe Community Playgroup in Doncaster, a group of toddlers hurl themselves at a formidable collection of plastic toys.

The children have been born in the sixth largest economy on the planet.

Britain is a rich nation, but its wealth is unevenly shared and life on a low income is hard.

“By the time you’ve paid all your bills, you’ve got nothing left,” Gabbi Lumsden said.

Gabbi is sitting with Becky Hall.

The two of them have been friends since primary school.

Between them they have six children, five of whom tumble around the community hall while we chat.

Yeah Blair getting into Labor, kinda wrecked it. I think the neolibs think in terms of power-brokers, meaning they seek out positions in organizations and society at large in order to sell out. I bet you they think that is what everybody is doing. From the perspective of social democrats this was hostile infiltration.

I sometimes wonder if the left could have done something like this too. Except, you know, the other way around. You know in the 70s when neo-liberalism began to spread the rot. To be fair i don't really have a clue how to invert the power-broaker dynamic.

No I don't. I've tried to kill myself at least 5 times. It was my primary motivator and the desire on which I based my actions for years. My last job I only got because I had spent all my money before a previous (failed) attempt and I needed money to buy a shotgun since that's a more reliable method than my previous one was. I wanted to die more than anything. No amount of stupid entertainment or hedonism or escapism changed that, it was all fake and meaningless and empty. Nothing felt good.

That didn't change. What changed is that I realized that there are people at the top levels of government who are even worse people than I am. The hate I feel for myself drove me previously to do all kinds of things in pursuit of ending my enemy, my self. I destroyed my life to die, and every day I lived on was an insult, a reminder of the humiliating times I failed even at dying. I hated myself more than I liked anything, needed to end it more than I needed anything. My life had no purpose but to end, and I realized that, from my perspective, life is mostly just pain and misery and the best anyone can hope for is a painless exit. The only thing which changed my perspective at all was seeing the US gov't fully back a genocide, because as much as I hated myself, I realized that those people doing that were much worse.

US credit card defaults at highest level since Great Recession

Credit card defaults in the US reached their highest level since the 2008 financial crash during the first nine months of 2024, according to figures compiled by BankRegData and cited in a recent Financial Times article. Credit card lenders were also forced to write off $46 billion in seriously delinquent debt balances through September 2024, up 50 percent from the same period the year before, and the highest level in 14 years.

These figures reveal widespread social distress and economic insecurity in America’s supposedly booming economy. With rising expenses and stagnant wages, tens of millions of workers and lower middle class people have been forced to rely on their credit cards to pay for food, gas, medicine, clothing and other living costs. Hit by elevated interest rates, they have not been able to make their credit card payments.

“High-income households are fine, but the bottom third of US consumers are tapped out,” said Mark Zandi, the head of Moody’s Analytics, told the Financial Times. “Their savings rate right now is zero.”

After government stimulus checks allowed borrowers to pay down their credit card debts in 2020 and 2021, credit card debt has risen by a combined $270 billion in 2022 and 2023, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It surpassed the $1 trillion mark in mid-2023 and reached $1.66 trillion in the third quarter of 2024. The average American household credit card debt was $10,757 in the third quarter, according to personal finance web site Wallet Hub.

“Nearly half of Americans still have debt from the holidays from last year,” said WalletHub writer and analyst Chip Lupo, adding that a third of respondents to his organization’s survey reported they would spend less this year on holiday shopping.

Unable to pay off their balances in full, borrowers sent the credit card companies $170 billion in interest payments in 2024. As of last Friday, the average credit card interest rate was 20.35 percent, according to Bankrate.

These loan shark rates have allowed the biggest credit card lenders—Visa, Mastercard and Capital One—to reap record profits. Visa, the largest, booked $19.7 billion in 2024 profits (up 16 percent from FY 2023) and enjoyed a 55 percent profit margin (up from 52 percent in FY 2023); 2024 revenues shot up 10 percent to $35.9 billion.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

Syria accuses Hezbollah of abducting, killing three soldiers

The Syrian Defence Ministry said that Hezbollah had abducted the three soldiers from inside Syria, taken them to Lebanon, and then killed them.

The ministry said that the abduction happened near the Zeita Dam, on the Syrian-Lebanese border in Homs province.

“A group from the Hezbollah militia … kidnapped three members of the Syrian army on the Syrian-Lebanese border… before taking them to Lebanese territory and eliminating them,” the Syrian state news agency SANA quoted the Defence Ministry as saying.

Al Jazeera Arabic earlier reported that clashes had taken place on the Syrian-Lebanese border. Hezbollah has, however, denied any involvement in the incident.

Astute observers with a great memory will recall that Israel bombed Damascus two days ago. For some reason, these HTS guys (formerly Al Qaeda) are only focusing on attacking Alawites, Christians, and Lebanon, though.
