I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Understand that they’re conditioning people to accept the unacceptable. They’re starting with trans people, Palestinians and disabled people because they know most people will look the other way.
When you look the other way in the face of evil, it changes you.
Do not comply. Resist now.

The current U.S. regime has embraced fascism. No one is safe.
Stand up for the marginalized people most at risk. It’s the right thing to do, and sooner than later you will be the target

A UK citizen has been detained by ICE at the Canadian border.
Her possessions confiscated, she’s being held in a cell with limited access to the outside world and no idea when she will be allowed to return home.
Stop traveling to the U.S. Vote with your dollar & protect yourself.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless.
They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc
It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.
