I will not celebrate his death. But I will call for justice to all those who suffered at the hands of his hateful ideology.

When you take one aspect of a person’s identity and make it the explanation for their worst behaviour, but ignore that same aspect when others act violently, you are not seeking truth. You are enforcing prejudice.
Resist it in yourself and call it out in others.

Too many dismiss Alligator Alcatraz by saying, “It’s not as bad as Auschwitz!” That logic excuses harm. That’s how denial becomes complicity. We must name and confront injustice before it grows beyond what people will dare to stop.
Every atrocity was once “not that bad”.
Until it was.

This is historic for all the wrong reasons. I am not prone to hyperbole, but the truth is barely distinguishable from it at this point.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Boulder attack was terror, not justice. Antisemitism betrays us all. Our liberation, including Palestinian liberation, means nothing if built on someone else’s harm.
Free Palestine.
End Antisemitism.

Never tell the oppressed, who demand liberation, that they should be grateful for less oppression.

If we’re debating the fine print of what qualifies as genocide or a concentration camp, something has already gone terribly wrong. The fact that such a debate is even necessary means we've gone too far. #palestine

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.

Normalizing authoritarianism.
Governing by ideological fiat.
Deconstruction of democracy.
Creating a "new" America.
Replacing dissent with loyalty.
Replacing complexity with singular truth.
Replacing pluralism with cultural uniformity.

The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil signals a dangerous escalation in criminalizing dissent. Targeting pro-Palestinian activists with vague claims & detaining a lawful resident without charges threatens free speech, academic freedom & due process, setting a precedent that endangers everyone.
