Sunday reading. Solito is the memoir of a nine-year-old boy on his journey from El Salvador to the U.S. to reunite with his parents. Great book where you can feel the emotions depicted.

In this NYT article, you can hear (with your heart and mind) some of the men sent to CECOT by the Trump admin recount what they endured. It can be difficult to hear the hard truth at times. But they deserve justice, and a part of justice is for the truth to be known and to be believed.
“It wasn’t right,” said our client Pedro Escobar, Pedro is one of more than 250 men forcibly removed from the U.S. & disappeared into CECOT, reflecting on his time in CECOT prison. “We should never have been sent to El Salvador. We’re migrants, not criminals.”

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
