Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts.
He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan.
Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.

@marthawells.com ❤️Rapport. At first I was missing the presence of a favorite character but then realized the person was in fact present in a meaningful sense. It will impel me to start yet another reread, with this story nearly fitted into the timeline.

It doesn't get more calculatedly insidious than this:
Don't overlook this. By backloading Medicaid cuts until 2027/2028, Trump and GOP have ensured that the bloodbath will start when JD Vance's 2028 campaign really gets going. "Working class populist" Vance will have to defend that carnage in real time.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

He wasn’t just refused entry. They took blood samples and strip-searched him. They even threatened him with 5 years in prison for his phone password. All because he had a meme on his phone.

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA.
While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible.
