US Police Crackdown on student's dissent:

 "Authoritarian Americanism"

"Brutal policing and groundless excuses are nothing new, nor is bipartisan support for the crackdowns.

What is new, though, is a most pernicious constellation coming together: 

far-right attacks on education; 

white supremacist police repression, further escalated and enabled since 2020; 

a time of grasping U.S. hegemony abroad; 

Islamophobic and anti-Arab racism sanctioned in public since the war on terror; 

and, crucially, an enfeebled left, at least on the electoral level"
