Friend,
Last Saturday, Mahmoud Khalil, a recent
Columbia University graduate student and leading Palestinian student
activist was swept up by the Department of Homeland Security. Khalil was
whisked away from his wife (8 months pregnant and a U.S. citizen) and
is currently incarcerated in an immigrant detention camp in Louisiana.
This is a lethal acceleration of the
Trump regime’s fascist wars on immigrants, on free speech, on the right
of public assembly, on universities and academic freedom, and on the
open political life of all society. RefuseFascism.org has joined in protests of the government's action all week. A hearty SHOUT OUT to Jewish Voice for Peace took over Trump Tower's lobby Thursday:
from RefuseFascism.org:
- FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL NOW
- The DETENTION of MAHMOUD KHALIL is a FASCIST ATTACK on FREE SPEECH and ACADEMIC FREEDOM
RefuseFascism.org demands the
immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. His arrest and detention is an
illegal and immoral attack on basic rights, academic freedom, and the
rule of law. It marks an ominous and vicious escalation in the Trump
regime’s fascist program. It is a dramatic further assault on the rights
of all immigrants and all of society: crushing dissent, neutering academia; forbidding critical thinking and free expression. Everyone who cares about justice needs to stand with Mahmoud Khalil...
The unjust arrest, detention, and
attempted deportation of Mahmoud Khalil is an example of why Refuse
Fascism calls for millions to join us in the streets refusing
to allow business as usual when that business is shoving fascist rule
down our throats. We need MANY VOICES AND BODIES DEMANDING: THE TRUMP
FASCIST REGIME MUST GO! With this we can and must create a political
crisis in which the Trump regime cannot govern and implement their
fascist program or even maintain their hold on power.
The TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST GO!
Refuse Fascism Editorial Board Coco Das shares her appreciation for the Refuse Fascism statement A Call to Conscience…A Call to Act.
"It is a powerful tool to get millions of people in this country urgently oriented and acting to defeat Trump/MAGA fascism before it can consolidate its rule. This statement needs to be spread to every corner of society starting now...
Every week, the fascist Trump regime is making huge leaps in tearing up the rule of law and civil and democratic rights. With the criminally ominous arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, fascism has advanced to the stage of Gestapo-like kidnappings of activists.
