The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Plus, any clips you have shown do not show the entire interaction.

ALL of these people simply refused to cooperate and the interaction escalated.


Back from running some errands.

Found the material about the snatch from several months ago, that I referenced previously.

Rümeysa Öztürk co-wrote an op-ed piece in the Tufts University student newspaper, criticizing the university's position regarding Israel's conduct in Gaza. The regime has defined any, repeat, any, criticism of Israel as "terrorism". Her student visa was revoked, without notifying her. Days later, ICE agents, in no recognizable official uniform, grabbed her, while she was walking, alone, down the street. She did not resist. She was put into the ICE vehicle, then flown to a prison in Louisiana, where she sat for six weeks, before a judge ordered her release. All for expressing her opinion, peacefully.

Here's the video of her being grabbed off the street.

Judge releases Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk who was detained by ICE

U.S. District Judge William Sessions in Burlington released Rumeysa Ozturk pending a final decision on her claim that she's been illegally detained following an op-ed she co-wrote last year that criticized the school's response to Israel's war in Gaza.

Ozturk was one of four students who wrote an op-ed in the campus newspaper, The Tufts Daily, last year criticizing the university's response to student activists demanding that Tufts "acknowledge the Palestinian genocide," disclose its investments and divest from companies with ties to Israel.

A State Department memo said Ozturk's visa was revoked following an assessment that her actions "'may undermine U.S. foreign policy by creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and indicating support for a designated terrorist organization' including co-authoring an op-ed that found common cause with an organization that was later temporarily banned from campus."

If they could do it to her, they can do it to you.
