Still struggling with just how avoidable this was, and how the years of warnings were ignored. At this point it feels as it will still get much worse before it gets better, so a key challenge now is to imagine then work towards a world beyond the horror of the present. That’s my aim, at least.

They are targeting US greencard holders who have explicitly stood up to and challenged anti-semitism with both words and actions. This is not about anti-semitism, which indeed has no space in our movements. This is about ensuring that there is zero space for Palestine advocacy.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

I know why yall are saying it but I don’t think it’s right to continuously write or say “he’s not with us” across the internet if it’s not confirmed. He has a family here working to get his safe return and millions of people concerned over his status. Imagine you were in his families shoes please.

aside: a stunning comment from David Baker, UW professor who won the Nobel Prize in 2024. Now 15 lab members are looking for positions overseas. “There’s so many amazing people who want to come in, & we can’t take them. The Nobel Prize was just a little blip. But things have gotten quite bleak.”

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Trump wants to send citizens merely accused of crimes to foreign prisons where he can claim the U.S. has no jurisdiction to bring you back, even after the judiciary orders it. Once that happens even a single time, nothing will stop ICE from doing the same thing to you that they did to Abrego Garcia

I do wish that more stories about the El Salvador prison where Trump disappeared people would note that it’s only different from US prisons in that it’s in another country, not because of the conditions. People are tortured and put in grave danger on American soil every day in our prisons.

One of the reasons I’m struggling to inhabit the current historical era is that I along with many others have been saying that US prisons are torture chambers for decades and most people don’t mind this in the least. I’m not sure who will be moved to close prisons now.
