Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail today from his illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration. Good.
In America, you are not supposed to end up in a jail cell for expressing your opinion.
This is a major step forward in the fight against authoritarianism.

I think the angst I have is that in our democracy, the only reliable lever the citizen has is the ballot box, and it will be a long time before we can use it. Protests and vocalization matter little if the politicians aren’t afraid of losing their jobs.
