Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him.
Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

When I first read this I really appreciated Brooks' description of what it feels like to let go of the hyper-rationalist fixation on making sense of the world through reason alone, because I've been lucky enough to go through something similar. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/o...

The word “faith” implies the possession of something, whereas I experience faith as a yearning for something beautiful that I can sense but not fully grasp.

Wes Streeting is gay. He claims to have spoken to young trans people; claims that he wants to improve their health care; claims that as a gay man, he empathizes with them. He also claims that this decision was “based on the evidence and advice of clinicians, not politics or political pressure.”
