Altogether, even the lowest estimate comes to a total of at least 10,000 shekels — approximately $3,000 — just to cover the initial phase of displacement. interc.pt/3Kz0q05

But the pressure worked. A professor canceled an Israeli military funded grant after student pressure. “This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence,” one student said. "These ties cannot survive transparency." theintercept.com/2025/09/22/m...

Earlier this year, MIT restricted access to an internal search tool after students used it to publicized the school’s ties to the Israeli military. Students found a loophole and identified other Israeli grants - then the school put up more restrictions & a disciplinary warning

The Department of War said it would forbid reporters from gathering any information that had not been approved for release and would revoke press credentials from any journalists who did not obey. interc.pt/46wyp0J

If you know other cases where DHS/ICE and other agencies demanded data about an activist's online accounts, I'm still digging. My Signal is shawnmusgrave.82

“Perhaps there are so many embarrassing documents... Maybe that’s why the administration is taking a wholesale approach to concealing records that may show wrongdoing, corruption and incompetence,” @seth-stern.bsky.social of @freedom.press told @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/09/21/d...

While the costs associated with these troops are being kept secret, they are expected to skyrocket.

By the time commentators were warning that Kirk’s murder heralded a new wave of violence, extremist activism on the ground was at a multiyear low, according to ACLED. interc.pt/47L3q3e

Three current Pentagon insiders told The Intercept that new Department of War rules are an egregious assault on press freedom.

Hegseth has previously been accused of calling for the death of fellow Americans before his time in office, when he allegedly chanted “Kill all Muslims.”

“It should not be overlooked that since Trump’s first term, all significant efforts to collectively prosecute social justice movements have failed.”

Rep. Brian Mast defended the idea as uncontroversial and said he only dropped it to avoid it becoming a “distraction.”

Trump has taken an expansive view of antifa in the past, once calling a 75-year-old man protesting George Floyd’s murder an “antifa provocateur.”

"I think what they’re doing in part [is] to make it very, very difficult for Democrats to ever beat Republicans."

In his effort to bring the media to heel, Trump could not invent a better ally than FCC Chief Brendan Carr. interc.pt/46zp4VT

My story from Thursday about the post, the subpoena, and challenges filed to block DHS's effort to unmask IG accounts that share info about agents. Last night a judge ordered Meta not to hand over the data for one of the accounts, for now. theintercept.com/2025/09/18/d...

Last night a third activist whose Instagram account was targeted by DHS filed a motion to quash the subpoena sent to Meta. That makes three of the six accounts tagged as "collaborators" in a video post about a particular Border Patrol agent. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71398...

Forced displacement inflicts a staggering emotional toll on families in Gaza. It also brings steep economic costs.

Update: a judge has temporarily blocked Meta from complying with the DHS subpoena, in response to the motion filed by the ACLU of Northern CA on behalf of one of the target Instagram users. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Mark my words: They will be removed,” New York state Sen. Jabari Brisport said. interc.pt/4mvNAx7

Carr’s most pronounced quality is his total fealty to Donald Trump — and he’s been busy weaponizing the FCC for the cause.

The right smells blood in the water after Charlie Kirk’s death, and they’re coming for the left, @ahjohnson.bsky.social of @citationspod.bsky.social told us. Listen to the full podcast episode on Apple: interc.pt/4mu1Er0 Spotify: interc.pt/3Iy8iyr Everywhere else: interc.pt/46db1GH

The same fear, miscalculations, and hostility to free speech that informed coverage of Khalil are now resulting in corporate media censorship of its own on-air personalities.

Trump’s chaotic, maximalist crackdown strategy targets liberals alongside leftists as an imagined whole. There’s no promise that establishment liberal figures & organizations will act with the integrity and solidarity it takes to rebuff such attacks @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/09/19/t...

What an amazing benchslap against Trump's ridiculous legal team in the NYT case.

The president describes a cartoonish fantasy of a George Soros-backed criminal network. If only the left were that good at collective defense.

Companies making drones and camouflage used by the Israeli military operate in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Activists want them out.

I'm at @theintercept.com this morning with an essay on Mahmoud Khalil, Jimmy Kimmel, and the failures of corporate media in Trump's second term.

Trump’s Idea of the Criminal Left Is a Fiction. A Coordinated Defense Against His Fascism Shouldn’t Be... latest @theintercept.com on Trump's RICO threats, antifa "terror designation", etc theintercept.com/2025/09/19/t...

My guest @ahjohnson.bsky.social is brilliant in this latest episode of @theintercept.com podcast. He perfectly explains why all of these institutional pillars, including media, appear to have fallen so quickly in the wake of an obvious smear campaign. theintercept.com/2025/09/19/b...

UPDATE: Last night, the ACLU filed a separate motion to quash for another Instagram account targeted by the same subpoena. Court filings indicate there were six IG accounts total: www.courtlistener.com/docket/71386...

Listen now:

The mainstream media barely made a peep about Trump’s latest attack on Mahmoud Khalil’s free speech rights.

Scoop: DHS is trying to unmask Instagram accounts that named and shamed federal agents. One activist just filed a motion to quash the subpoena which was sent to Meta in early Sept. theintercept.com/2025/09/18/d...

Trump has global civil society directly in the crosshairs.

StopICE[dot]net filed a motion to quash a subpoena about an Instagram video that identified a Border Patrol agent.

In a hearing that formally killed the bill, one lawmaker called it an “attempt to subvert our Constitution’s right to free speech.”

The domestic terror designation might be a flop, but Trump will keep trying to find ways to crush the left.

Utah Was Shifting Away From the Death Penalty. Then Came Trump and Tyler Robinson. Another must-read @theintercept.com by the indomitable @lilianasegura.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/09/18/c...

I know everyone’s like “if you think this is the worst assault on free speech you haven’t been paying attention for 2 years” but the thing is — the entire crackdown on antigenocide protests was premised on the separation of “free speech” from criticism of Israel

Let's get the facts straight.

The immediate calls for the execution of Charlie Kirk’s killer mark a resurgence of pro-death penalty politics in Utah and beyond.
