Judith Butler is being targeted by the US government. We must stand up | Joel Swanson

Judith Butler, a prominent Jewish intellectual, is facing alarming scrutiny from the US government under the guise of combating antisemitism. The University of California, Berkeley, has reportedly provided the Trump administration with a list of 160 individuals, including faculty and students, raising concerns about academic freedom and the targeting of dissenting voices. This situation is significant as it highlights the tension between free expression and political agendas, prompting a broader discussion about the implications for scholars and activists.
