This decision from the 3d Circuit is a travesty for Mahmoud and his family. If it sticks (which there are ways to challenge and delay), it will lead to ICE re-detaining him. And they may try to re-detain him now, even though that'd be illegal.

The title of this week’s episode says it all really: “You’ll Never Be White Enough to Escape Fascism”
We discuss Renee Good’s public execution and the equally harrowing aftermath. To give a heavy time some levity, we also talk about the meteoric rise of Corrie Storrie and Hudson Williams.

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope."
