If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I would like to lodge a formal complaint against the words “numerator” and “denominator.”
If we wanted people to hate fractions more, we could not have picked better words.

Day 44 of moving my body. Increased physical goal is manageable. Doing some org tasks today. Being engaged in a routine helps with time management of everything else.
Today’s prep is difficult.
And I will not be a slave to perfection.
