It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.
We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)
“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.
Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Increasingly, America’s rich and powerful—like Trump and Musk—use defamation suits not to win but to inflict ruinous expense and suffering on the defendants and solicit attention, support, and fundraising for themselves. This is a grave threat to free speech.
