You probably know about the Reichstag fire and how Hitler used the suspension of fundamental rights to seize full power. But have you ever heard of Plan Zeta in Chile? The suspension of habeas corpus can lead to a crisis that lasts more than a decade. We must defend this right that dictators hate.

So many ppl don't get this. They think that trans ppl have never done anything for them, but 1) only in the sense that people in Jasper, Wyoming have never done anything for me, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have rights, and 2) It is the ones with the least to lose that fight the hardest.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

It was more than a bit disconcerting this afternoon to be walking the streets of Berlin, listening to an audio tour that at that moment was covering the Berlin memorials to Jews & others killed by the Nazis, and then to see an anti-AFD march coming the other way. Historical whiplash.
