#Tufts University sent an email to alumni on Thursday, detailing what school officials know about #RumeysaOzturk, a Turkish graduate student who was detained by federal authorities.

"The university had no knowledge of this incident in advance, did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event," the email to alumni says.

@GottaLaff
Alas, it requires adblocker disabling, and then tells me I cannot read any more free articles.

I understand that these organizations need money to operate, but this is still a PITA. There's no way I can manage to subscribe to 20 media sources at once.

We could sure use a working #micropayments system so I could seamlessly pay per article from a wide variety of sources. No effin' billionaire techbros are going to build that, of course, but maybe some still-independent news organizations could jointly set up a nonprofit to do that?

🚨"Europe just canceled $25B in US military deals. NATO allies are planning to replace American l'ship. Japan, France & the UK are prepping deployments w/o us. And now Trump says allies only get ‘toned-down’ jets bc ‘someday they’re not our ally.'
News flash: They’re already walking away."

"Trump said legally operating news outlets do things that are "totally illegal"...

#Trump handpicked people to run #DOJ "that will not say no to him," attorney and Temple University law professor Donte Mills said on "NewsNight" Friday. "So, if he says, 'here's what I think should be illegal, go find a way to make it illegal and to punish these people,' it's going to happen."

@w7voa 😢 Thank you for your excellent work, Steve. We hope you’ll find a way to continue sharing news on Mastodon. "It took decades to build this goodwill and an audience of hundreds of millions every week.
