@jayapal.house.gov + Massie's bipartisan effort to end the 2001 AUMF isn't getting sufficient attention + support.
The regime is using the AUMF cover for their actions. Why has Congress let a 9/11 handover over power to the president continue? It's beyond time to end it.

I know this is super obvious, but: The United States government threatening foreign students with disappearing them to prison camps in El Salvador because they exercised their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech and assembly is so incredibly dark, disgusting, and dangerous.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.
But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

Abduction of a Tufts student in broad daylight by an American plainclothes gestapo drunk on power. This is a student from Turkey, who has been disappeared. Even her attorney doesn't know where she is.
THIS. IS. NOT. ACCEPTABLE.

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.
