Thank you for sharing and thanks to Ruth for writing this. I expect so much better from ASA.

I tend to agree. But if there’s anything that could push her to do something, it’s public pressure. As others have pointed out, we are most likely to see action when it aligns with political ambition. So we have to show her that it’s bad politics to sit on the sidelines 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for making this statement—it’s a good start. As a Michigander, I look forward to seeing the actions you will take to 1) see that all individuals sent to CECOT are returned, and 2) all non-citizens who have been targeted or detained for their political speech are freed.

University of Wisconsin-Madison made Hillbilly Elegy their “Go Big Read”, meaning that professors were encouraged to incorporate it into every course offered that year. I think every entering freshman was given a copy.

Thank you, Senator, for stepping up when few have. This is about defending the rights of Mr. Abrego Garcia and all the men who were sent to CECOT. It matters because they matter. But also because all of our rights are on the line as well. Please keep fighting.

Thank you, Senator. You are demonstrating the leadership we desperately need at this moment.
