When Ozturk was first arrested, friends mentioned she was nervous because she had been doxxed by Canary Mission after writing her op-ed, and now the government is admitting they used the site to target her.
"That's really scary to think that law enforcement is using this secret organization's blacklist to target not only international students, but U.S. citizens, as well," said Mahsa Khanbabai, Rumeysa Ozturk's immigration attorney. https://on.nbcboston.com/xgNM2xv

I don't know how the phrase "tree hugger" can ever be seen as an insult. Hugging trees is a great. Even better is waking up in a tree's arms and telling it your dreams.

Meanwhile, Trump hit them with a 20% tariff.
Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.
As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.
