"The town of 1,300 people [of whom apx 1000 protested] has just one school for all children K-12... It’s an affluent and idyllic-looking town on the shores of Lake Ontario in a county that voted 61% for #Trump in 2024. And when #protesters marched down the streets in solidarity with their stolen neighbors, they made sure to pass by the home of one community member in particular: #TomHoman, Trump’s Border Czar."

Text from article: The town of 1,300 people has just one school for all children K-12 where they graduate approximately 40 students each year. It’s an affluent and idyllic-looking town on the shores of Lake Ontario in a county that voted 61% for Trump in 2024. And when protesters marched down the streets in solidarity with their stolen neighbors, they made sure to pass by the home of one community member in particular: Tom Homan, Trump’s Border Czar. Homan grew up nearby and still has his primary residence in Sackets Harbor, presumably splitting time in DC to spearhead Trump’s campaign of terrorizing immigrants. “This isn't like a situation where a politician has multiple houses,” Cook told me. “Tom Homan lives in Sackets Harbor. I believe that in the hours when this was unfolding, he was receiving a lot of calls on his personal cell phone.” In anticipation of Saturday’s march, the Mayor of Sackets Harbor declared a state of emergency. Law enforcement officials from the village police department, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, state police, and state park police were all called to the gathering to remind protesters of what they would face if they put a toe out of line.

Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular #Spying

Today's #protests are not a one off so we must make sure we are watching out for counter activity against #protesters

CSS (also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower

Rayhunter uses a cheap cell hotspot you can flash to detect this happening.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular SpyingRayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

"The head of the nation’s leading organization fighting #antisemitism questioned the #Trump administration’s aggressive effort to find and deport foreign students who have protested on behalf of #Palestinians, suggesting that the administration is betraying #American values, denying due process and punishing people for their views rather than their actions.

In pulling #student #visas and seeking to #deport #protesters who hold #greencards, the administration has failed to ensure due process that is central to America’s justice system, wrote Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive and national director of the #AntiDefamationLeague [#ADL]."

The push to ID masked #protesters using #FacialRecognition & turn them in is blurring the line between #public #law enforcement & #private groups.And the efforts have stirred anxiety among foreign #students worried that #activism could jeopardize their legal status.

“We don’t know who these individuals are or what they’re doing with this information,”said Abed Ayoub, natl exec dir of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Cmte. “Essentially the administration is outsourcing surveillance.”

Private groups work to identify & report #student #protesters for possible #deportation

When a protester was caught on video in January at a NY rally against #Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask & headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along w/her name & employer, were circulated online.

Boo hiss...! Jury Finds #Greenpeace at Fault, Awards #Pipeline Developer Hundreds of Millions

By Mary Steurer, North Dakota Monitor, via #CensoredNews

"Breaking news from the courtroom
A Morton County jury on Wednesday ordered Greenpeace to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the developer of the #DakotaAccessPipeline, finding that the #environmental group incited illegal
behavior by anti-pipeline #protesters and defamed the company in the late 2010s.

"During closing arguments on Monday, the lead attorney representing #EnergyTransfer told jurors that Greenpeace’s actions caused between $265 million and $340 million in damages to the company. He asked the jury to award Energy Transfer that amount plus additional punitive damages.

"The nine-person jury delivered a verdict in favor of Energy Transfer on most counts. The verdict brought to a close a more than three-week trial in Mandan.

"The jury began deliberating Monday afternoon after hearing testimony from dozens of witnesses, including current and former Greenpeace employees, #IndigenousActivists, Energy Transfer representatives and law enforcement.

"This story will be updated.

"Thank you to the non-profit media #NorthDakotaMonitor for sharing their coverage with other media."

After Columbia Revokes #ProPalestine #Protesters' Degrees, Alumna Says Time to Burn Our Diplomas | Common Dreams

by Jennifer Scarlott, March 16, 2025

"In May of 1986, I received a master’s degree from #ColumbiaUniversity’s School of International and Public Affairs. That degree has been a proud part of my resume in the many years since.

As Columbia rushes to appease the Trump administration by expelling, suspending, and revoking the degrees of a growing number of students accused of peaceful protest and exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, I unequivocally renounce my degree and any affiliation with the university. I charge Columbia with complicity in the #genocide in #Gaza and the #WestBank and with terrorizing its anti-genocide, pro-#Palestine students, faculty, and staff. I charge Columbia with appeasement of and partnership with #fascist governments (Biden and Trump) in Washington.

"The shameless #capitulation of Columbia to government pressure is reflective of the corporate, neoliberal selling-out of academia. #Academia, exemplified by Columbia University, has surrendered its proclaimed mission of intellectual independence and endeavor, and the academic pursuit of knowledge and social advancement."
