Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

I haven’t found anything yet. Feels like an important moment though and we must keep watching.

In Portland, I don’t think anyone will harass you, more like give that weird, no lip smile and make things weird if anything. Most folks in the city are a vibe. Do Not go east for your own safety. Seriously.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Portland is so painfully white I was uncomfortable as a white person. It’s low key weird as hell to be in a city that size and see so little diversity.

I’m sure you’re overwhelmed with messages but, in case you can’t get on today’s flight:

Canadian Consulate (NY is closest):

466 Lexington Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, New York, 10017

Call them: 1-844-880-6519 consular support is there 24/7 and tell them you need asylum. Seriously.

Yeah, I worded that poorly. Their spot on the flight not the flight itself. Thanks.

Good to see an update from you! Hang in. The world is watching.

Im relieved to learn they weren’t detained. Here’s hoping they are able to smoothly make it out on today’s flight.

From the article: “Dr. Bray said the airline rebooked them on another flight for Thursday. He said he was hoping for the best. “I may sound conspiratorial, but I don’t think it is a coincidence,” he added. “We’re at a hotel and we’re just going to try again.”

May protection be around them all.

Dawn Kelly @dawnkelly.bsky.social · 2d

Hopefully it’s because he’s busy getting them all onto another flight and we’ll have news in the morning. I’d probably stay silent until safely out in this situation and he may be thinking the same.

Dawn Kelly @dawnkelly.bsky.social · 2d

Interesting. I didn’t know how that worked. Thanks.

Dawn Kelly @dawnkelly.bsky.social · 2d

Really hoping he’s able to update that something really goofy and benign has happened because otherwise…..

Did you see the Dr Mark Bray situation? Their flight to leave the country got cancelled suddenly after they’d already checked in, got boarding passes, and went through security. I haven’t seen an update yet if he’s learned more about why but it’s not good after that round table today.

I’m wondering if they didn’t put Dr Bray on some sort of “terrorism watch list” as part of their war on antifa push.

I know it’s a huge pivot but, can you make a land crossing into Canada so you’re safe while you figure this out? This is wildly scary.

Yeah, if you find the video version he realizes it and just takes a step back. It would be funny if it wasn’t so messed up.

I don’t miss the 500 gray days a year but I do miss the vibes. Will always have a soft spot for Portland ❤️

Sadly, I’m sure they’ll get what they want at SCOTUS level if needed. This may delay but I don’t think it will prevent.

I think other states can use this to support their own cases as they need to file them. I seem to recall something recently about these types of rulings no longer being able to apply nationally. Each state would have to bring suit as they are invaded.
