More than a month has passed since Savannah Eriksen last saw her husband, Kasper.
She doesn’t know when he will be either released or deported, doesn’t know if their lives will be uprooted to Denmark, his birth country.

I really need folks to believe Chicagoans when we say Rahm Emanuel needs to be run all the way out of politics and never allowed to return.
Please keep in mind that people will say they’re completely aghast by recent kidnappings of college students and protesters before suggesting Rahm Emanuel, who oversaw a kidnapping and torture regime of Black people during his tenure as Chicago’s mayor, is the person to lead us into the future.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Musk's calling it a "judicial coup" because Judge Amy Berman Jackson entered a two-day administrative stay to consider the sudden firing of the Special Counsel who, by statute, has a 5-year term and can't be removed except for specified reasons, none of which were even mentioned by the notice.
