Jon Lovett & Tim Miller ( @timmiller.bsky.social ) are hosting, with others, an event to raise awareness, & hell, for Andry, which, again, I hope turns into a celebration because Andry has, by that point, already been returned.

Jon Lovett and Tim Miller team up to ‘raise hell’ over gay asylum-seeker vanished to El Salvador by Trump
Andry Hernández Romero entered the U.S. legally, fleeing persecution for being gay. Then the Trump administration disappeared him, sending him to a dystopian prison. They’re trying to get him back.

From the U.S Holocaust Museum: “What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.”

We must speak up and keep speaking up until this does not stand. They are making a mockery of American values and our fundamental constitutional guarantees. There is not a shred of basic human decency to be found. They hope we will be too distracted by the coming poverty to fight back.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."
Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters
Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.
