The Trump administration has instituted all sorts of requirements in its first months to monitor Americans, particularly immigrants.
The big picture: From an undocumented immigrant registry to proof-of-citizenship for voting, President Trump has attempted to create a landscape in which the government can demand to know — and force people to prove — their identity in radical new ways.
Between the lines: The data the administration is pushing for can be weaponized against people.
As part of the Trump administration’s playbook to influence and reorient the priorities of universities, school protest leaders have been targets.
Meanwhile, as the government probes schools over alleged antisemitism, employees at Barnard College received a survey from a federal regulator asking if they were Jewish and whether they practiced Judaism.
“That the government is putting together lists of Jews, ostensibly as part of a campaign to fight antisemitism, is really chilling,” Nara Milanich, a Barnard history professor who is Jewish, told AP. “As a historian, I have to say it feels a little uncomfortable.”
🙄 If that’s not putting it in mild terms… Come on!! That kind of “mild-speak” is what’s allowing this Bullshit Bullying Mafia Don Mangolini attempt at an administration to continue its actions to designate and dehumanize so-called “Others” and deem them unacceptable.
FFS!
