Rep. Jacob Rosecrants is in touch with State Rep. Jared Deck (Norman) and Rep. Tom Cole (Repub). The office of U.S. Sen. James Lankford (Repub) has been made aware.

They can't find Dr. Abedini's location. Important for several reasons including filing habeas corpus docs.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

In Guatemala, a country routinely ranked as one of the hemisphere’s most corrupt, idealistic young people using TikTok had boosted a reformer to the presidency.

Nearly two-thirds of the nation’s 17 million citizens were under 30.
How TikTokers and Swifties became political power brokers in Guatemala
They helped get an anti-corruption reformer elected president. But with weeks still to go before the inauguration, some of them are getting arrested.

“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”
ICE released this Mass. mom with no phone, 30 miles from home in the rain after detainment for a sealed marijuana conviction
Federal authorities refused to tell the Canton woman's husband or lawyer on what grounds she was being detained until shortly before her release.

The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.
