This Rümeysa Öztürk hearing is radicalizing.
I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom.
Dark, dark stuff.

Rümeysa Öztürk suffers an asthma attack during her own hearing, must excuse herself from the room where she’s appearing virtually, just as an asthma expert is testifying about her condition and symptoms.
We’re in hell.
In any event: I’m not live-skeeting, but do follow Adam, who is.

Federal appeals court, in a joint panel opinion, denies the Trump administration's request to essentially re-arrest Mohsen Mahdawi.
"Individual liberty substantially outweighs the government’s weak assertions of administrative and logistical costs."
Federal judge orders Rümeysa Öztürk's released immediately, finds she has made a "substantial claim" her constitutional rights were violated.
"The reason she has been detained is simply and purely the expression that she made in the op-ed in violation of her First Amendment rights."
Political prisoners must not be allowed to be held indefinitely by this administration any longer.
"Her continued detention potentially chills the speech of the millions and millions of individuals in this country who are not citizens. Any one of them may now avoid exercising their First Amendment rights for fear of being whisked away to a detention center."
It’s only a matter of time before Trump and his minions come after U.S. citizens.
So must it be for all.
Is she in the courtroom?
They aggressively go after Israel critics to silence criticism of Israel.
She's definitely there
Isn't Bari Weiss a free speech warrior?
I think she's writing a blog post about this
We're doing it again, fam.
Ah, took me a minute... Journalist not stenographer.
This is scary.
Project Homecoming is the public face of an operational schema that has been under construction for decades—woven through legal theory, Christian nationalist theology, libertarian anti-federalism, and white grievance politics.

Yes indeed. It's fucking alarming. And it's becoming common in the Nazi States of America.
Needed to present the wickedness of #Trump’s agenda.
once upon a time it was just lies, now it's theater.
