and there is more of this for democrats to do! demand to see the other people renditioned to this prison! conduct on camera interviews with people who have lost social security, veterans benefits and medical care because of DOGE, hold rallies against the administration’s lawlessness!
Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador is a form of embodied protest and helped put Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Gracia on the front page of the NYT two days in a row.
As Bayard Rustin once said, “The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don't turn.”

"Each one of us knows,” Manal said, “that what’s happening in Gaza is going to happen in the West Bank.”
No one seemed to be talking about nonviolence anymore. How could they? “It’s all lies,” one veteran activist told me. “Human rights, international law, justice, all of it.”

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered.

Harvard must come out and very clearly state that criticism of violence committed by the Israeli government and assertion of Palestinian existence and rights are not antisemitic. So long as they bow to the IHRA definition of antisemitism, they’ll be standing on one leg in a fight they can’t lose.
