I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

What do you know, President Trump is lockstep with a foreign dictator on detaining, shackling and deporting Trump’s deportee without any Due Process.

Trump must follow the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of their illegal prisoner.
El Salvador President Bukele says he won't be releasing a Maryland man back to the US
Trump’s top advisers and Nayib Bukele say that they had no basis for the Central American nation to return a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there.

Do you feel it?
Do you feel the momentum shift?
The will of the people is strong.
And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together.
Resist.
Persist.
Standup.
Speak out.
Fight.
We can do this.
We WILL do this.
We ARE doing it.
And we will not stop.

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

Countries, firms, states, universities:

Stop caving on individual points!

It is not about “antisemitism”, “DEI”,“trans athletes” or “wokeness”!

It is about complete submission!

Nothing else will be acceptable!

You cannot win alone!

United we stand a chance, divided we will fall!

“There are two errors we must avoid if we want to get closer to the truth: we shouldn’t believe things that are false, and we shouldn’t discount things that are true.”

Excellent piece on “misinformation” 👇
The big idea: do we worry too much about misinformation?
Seeing falsehoods everywhere is as damaging as believing too much. Our focus should be on helping people interpret information better
