“There is a young man in jail today for protesting at his college. No charges. No criminal conduct. In dictatorships, they call this ‘a disappearance’.” — Sen. Chris Murphy on the unconstitutional arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil.
14 House Dems Demanded Mahmoud Khalil’s Release. Where Are the Others?

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.
