It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

This is the investment that matters

It’s hard to find capital investment information in press releases that actually result in jobs

What is the endgame of these utterly lawless #ICE Gestapo actions? It is to set up a culture of fear IN US CITIZENS eligible to vote. It is also the same destabilization tactics that military intelligence officials like #MikeFlynn wrote about & used in Iraq, Afghanistan & other target populations.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
