Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.
That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.
If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.
Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.
But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

I may reconsider stopping on FB. I think this is a valid reason to not.
Also, one of my FB friends said he wasn't leaving because FB has a long history of being a shit show. 🤷♂️

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.
Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.
I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

My 1st real Bluesky post (not counting a shared one). I've been here for a couple months and think I'm figuring it out. So far, it's great.
I deleted Twitter & am figuring out how to leave Meta, although I'll probably keep those accounts active but no longer post/interact on those platforms.
