I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Dear Dems: Polling shows only generalized approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only help Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...

It’s comical watching TV news anchor say stuff like “he was a game changer” about Pope Francis. Our vocabulary is so minimal, no wonder we can’t understand the world.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Best Pope of my lifetime. Made me feel better about the Church I grew up in, a Church that gave me a foundation for living AND Cardinal Bernard Law, a true villain.

Dems and their allies have to get over their fear of setting off a backlash. Do the right thing, demonstrate passion unconstrained by calculations about public opinion, which is not immutable and can be changed. We have ample evidence that pulling punches does not work at all in the age of Trump.

Something interesting is happening in Paris: transit ridership is back to pre-pandemic levels, and return-to-office is up – but the trend is the inverse of what Americans assume: workers are going back to the office because transit is affordable, reliable and frequent fortune.com/europe/2024/...

BOSTON MA: On this 6th night of Passover, over 300 Jews have gathered to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk and the passage of the Dignity Not Deportations Act. As authoritarianism encroaches on our city & across the US, we fight for freedom — not only for ourselves, but for all who are oppressed.
