I practice law, write short stories, make art, and occasionally get lost (on purpose) abroad. I often think about geopolitics, the law, and how to mix the perfect shade of gouache.
#FreeSpeech isn’t about liking the speaker but protecting the principle. The ACLU once defended a Nazi march in Skokie, IL, not to support Nazism but because silencing them would destroy the #FirstAmendment for all.

NEW: We just filed a preliminary injunction asking for Mahmoud Khalil's immediate release.
Along with @ccrjustice.org , @nyclu.org , and Mahmoud's entire legal team, we will not stop fighting until he is free.

If you don’t like a ruling, you appeal the final judgment. Don’t threaten a judge and his family or call him a "terrorist sympathizer" or "lunatic." That’s not how our system works. Everyone deserves #DueProcess & a #FairTrial. @americanbar.org
