Despite ICE's efforts to keep them apart, Mahmoud Khalil was finally allowed to hold his newborn son for the first time, two months after he was detained for his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights. We celebrate this moment, but Mahmoud should never have been detained in the first place.

After public outcry, a provision has been removed from the House tax bill that would've essentially given the executive branch free rein to shut down non-profits and stifle dissent. This is a big win, but we must keep up the pressure to make sure this dangerous proposal stays dead.

SCOOP: Emails reveal the Trump admin is forcing schools to report students for vague things like protests or "antisemitic actions." It's pushing schools to target students the same way they went after Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — and possibly threatening schools if they don't go along with it.

NEW footage of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest shows the Trump admin is lying. First they said they had a warrant. Then they admitted they didn't—saying they didn't need one, because Mahmoud wasn't cooperating & was going to flee. They said he was a "flight risk." But video shows that's not true either.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

I'm digging around on the "Homeland Security Task Forces" referenced in several Presidential executive orders. The most recent one orders DoD to start sending military equipment to local cops, using the HSTF as the mechanism. I've spoken to DHS now, and local leaders. In Georgia, it doesn't exist.
