Mahmoud Khalil writes from ICE detention: "I write this letter as the sun rises, hoping that the suspension of my rights will raise alarm bells that yours are already in jeopardy." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

A black trans man, to be clear.

Why fire the head of the Federal Election Commission? Would this make it easier for you to hide election manipulation? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u... #VerifyTheVote #TruthMatters
