We are living in a country where people can be snatched off the streets and disappeared into jails in remote parts of this country, as well as boarded onto planes and banished to El Salvador, South Sudan, and who knows where else. Gone without a trace and with no accountability. --Joan Baez

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”
