Trump tried to indefinitely detain Mahmoud Khalil for protesting—but a judge just ordered his release on bail.
Meanwhile, Harvard fought back, sued Trump for interfering in its affairs, and the judge ruled in Harvard’s favor.
A perfect reminder: caving to MAGA isn’t necessary. Resistance works.

Leavitt is straight up lying. She says “it’s not true” that just a tattoo & a clothing brand can get you sent to El Salvador.
But here is the document filed in court by Homeland Security. It clearly states that a tattoo (4pts) & dress (4pts) adds up to 8pts needed to be declared a TDA “terrorist”.
