If nobody knows where he is, he has been disappeared.
And as of about 15 minutes ago, it has been over 24 hours.
This is true even if the **government** knows where he is, if the family and lawyers do not.
If/when Khalil is located, I will move him from the category of "disappeared" to "politically detained".
We get here how we get here, and I think it blesses the memory of those who came before to think of them as we act.
It only applies to rich White people.
If I am correct, outside counsel is sometimes allowed access, but they are prevented from discussing or revealing what they learn there, which means that while they might be "outside" technically, all the info is still kept inside the system.
I think bluesky needs to do its thing. I’m gonna send my message now and I hope everybody else does.
