Michigan's #Democratic AG Under Fire After Armed Agents Raid Homes of Palestine Defenders

"We are totally convinced that, but for their viewpoints, these students would not have been targeted," said one attorney.

" Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed their way into the #Michigan homes of pro-#Palestine student organizers on Wednesday in what the state attorney general's office said was a vandalism probe—but critics called an attack on dissent against #Israel's genocidal assault on #Gaza. "

@nullagent
I’ve been watching for this since last year…
When #DanaNessel went after those #UofM protesters.

We townies, have long ago given-up going to…
“The #HashBash “ …closing our eyes & pretending…
The University of Michigan isn’t a shadow of itself.

Now…we head out to protest…check on international students…support vulnerable communities &…
Fight!

#Michigan AG #DanaNessel has joined a coalition of 23 other states to sue the #HHS over its termination of $11B in #PublicHealth grants, including 20 grants in MI totaling $379M.

“The #Trump administration is now terminating millions in grants being used in our state to support #vaccine #clinics for #kids, crisis MentalHealth services, opioid abuse #intervention, & to control #disease spread in healthcare facilities,” said AG Nessel.

Condemning Dana Nessel’s Hypocrisy

"Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel, a self-styled progressive who has attempted to build a reputation opposing Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, now exposes her own hypocrisy by weaponizing the legal system to suppress pro-Palestine protesters.

...

Where was this zeal for “accountability” when white supremacists plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Where is her outrage over “israel’s” US-funded genocide in Gaza, which has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians? Her selective application of justice exposes a dangerous truth: For Nessel, opposing Trump is a political brand, not a commitment to dismantling oppression."

“There are procedures in place to ensure that this does not happen, & that's why it so rarely does. It really took a perfect storm to come together to allow these 4 individuals to double vote, which included voters who were willing to vote twice, the completion of affidavits that were false, poll workers who did not turn them away as they should have & municipal clerks who illegally altered the qualified voting file,” #DanaNessel said during a press conference in Detroit.

#Michigan AG #DanaNessel leveled #criminal charges Fri against 7 individuals who were allegedly involved in a flurry of DOUBLE VOTING in the primary #election in #StClairShores.

Nessel's office alleges that 4 people voted 2X - once in person on Election Day & once through an absentee ballot - & 3 assistant MUNICIPAL CLERKS ALLOWED the double voting to occur “significantly" breaking from rules. [I’d say]

> ... Tlaib’s accusation of anti-Palestinian bias, which is institutionally rampant nationwide, was immediately twisted by Nessel into an alleged antisemitic attack. “Rashida should not use my religion to imply I cannot perform my job fairly as Attorney General. It’s anti-Semitic and wrong,” wrote Nessel on X. Again, Nessel’s religion was not mentioned.

The Intercept · CNN Anchors Won’t Stop Lying About Something Rashida Tlaib Never SaidBy Natasha Lennard

"Tlaib's comment has been criticized by some, including CNN’s Jake Tapper and the Anti-Defamation League, as anti-semitic."

"Claiming anti-semitism is a trick, we always use it. We bring up the Holocaust and call people anti-semitic if they criticize Israel." - Shulamit Aloni, former Israeli minister speaking to Amy Goodman of #DemocracyNow in 2002.
