The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.

But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Since my post was removed from Facebook, I shall lay it down right here for those of you who haven’t seen. This is CeCot, Ángulo, El Salvador on Google maps. Zooming in, you can see where contractors said they built the “veterinary crematorium “. That’s not red wine, folks.
