We saw the Jesse Krimes exhibit today at the Met. He made this while in solitary confinement for drug possession, using prison issued bar soap and playing cards onto which he transferred mug shots using methods he devised himself. It broke me.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you aren’t outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.
