The U.S. Government during GW Bush Admin tried to create a due process-free zone at Guantanamo and it took years and several Supreme Court cases to confirm it was an outrageous violation of due process rights - this rendition to CECOT from US soil is an easier case and the Court should stop it NOW.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

If you want to see Dems fight back, celebrate the Dems who are fighting back like this.
We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Other ideas for other ways to fight back. If you don't know where to start, pick one of these and do it.
Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
