Dr. Rasha Alwieh: An Ivy League Doctor Who Was Deported Despite Court Order

Dr. Rasha Alawieh is an Ivy League Lebanese doctor and legal visa holder was deported by the Trump Administration despite a court order. The New Republic accused the Trump administration in an article of openly defying a court order and deporting the Brown University professor and kidney transplant specialist.
 
Dr. Rasha Alawieh traveled to her native Lebanon to visit relatives last month and was detained on Thursday upon her return to the U.S. A District Court judge in Massachusetts, Leo Sorokin, ordered the government in a Friday evening ruling to give a 48-hour advance notice before deporting Alawieh, but she was put on a flight out of the country the same night anyway. Customs and Border Protection officials basically intentionally defied the initial ruling on purpose, claiming to get the court order two minutes too late.
 
What if Dr. Rasha Alawieh was an escaped fugitive?
 
You can bet the Customs and Border Protection official will order the flight to abort the takeoff.

Imploding Empire news: The US/Israeli slaughter resumes

The Israeli regime supported by the US regime just attacked the people of
Gaza strip killing 304 civilians (reported so far last night to this
morning) and injuring hundreds. Men, women, children are being slaughtered
again in large numbers using US weapons and support. This while not
allowing humanitarian aid (2 million people denied food, medicine, water)).
Is there any group that will intervene to stop the genocide?  How is it
that the whole global order is subservient to Zionist racism with only
Yemen trying to ddo something. Egypt, Jordan, Europe, the UN, the US...
partners in genocide.  No one still believe the Zionist propaganda but
politicians surrender to the Zionist lobbies and blackmail (Jefrey Epstein
was Mossad).

The US regime also just expelled the the South African Ambassador (for his
outspoken rejection of imperialism) and is trying to expell a lawful
permanant resident (Mamoud Kalil) for speaking the truth about an ongoing
genocide. The regime also got rid of Adam Boehler, US envoy who talked to
Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement). The US an Israel break ceasefires they

50/50/one statement in reponse to Trump rescinding Biden’s presidential pardons

Biden at his desk signing something

The United States of America—the 50501 Movement is calling for the immediate impeachment and conviction of President Donald J Trump for the high crime of abuse of power. The 50501 movement will continue to stand up for the Constitution and for American democracy, even when our own government refuses to.

TRUMP’S ABUSE OF POWER
At 12:35 AM ET on March 17th, President Donald Trump made a post on Truth Social “declaring” the reversal and voiding of all pardons made by former President Joe Biden, including four members of the January 6th investigation committee. This action isn’t only an attack on the former president; it is a direct assault on the rule of law in our country and a chilling escalation of political persecution.

So the sun is going down on diversity and inclusion at OSU?

Ohio State sign

Sixty-two years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., ignited America with his dream of what this country could be. Regrettably, that dream turned into a nightmare when Walter Carter, Jr., the president of the Ohio State University, declared that OSU would “sunset the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI)” as well as the Center for Belonging and Social Change (CBSC), effective February 28. So the sun is going down on diversity and inclusion at OSU? Is OSU now a “sundown town?”

For those of you too young to remember such places, they were towns that made it clear that Black people were not welcome there “after sundown,” often displaying these hostile sentiments on large billboards on the way into and out of town. Who is welcome here, and who is now excluded from the OSU community? What ideas and thoughts are welcome here, and which are excluded? Carter could not have made it more clear by leaping to obey legislation that has not even been enacted yet and federal executive orders that do not carry the weight of law.
