"This is how it begins.

Tuesday night, Tufts University PhD student #RumeysaOzturk was going out to a restaurant to meet friends when masked federal #ICE agents dressed in street clothes seized her off a public sidewalk and disappeared her. Her apparent crime was co-authoring an op-ed critical of #Trump & #Netanyahu."

"Columbia student #MahmoudKhalil remains in the hellhole of a notoriously brutal private prison in #Louisiana for daring to speak out against the #Israeli slaughter of Gazans.

And #Columbia student #YunseoChung, who’s been a legal permanent resident of the #US since she was 7 years old, is in hiding while her lawyers sue to prevent her arrest for also speaking up about the violence #Netanyahu is inflicting on people in #Gaza."

"Neri Alvarado was working as a baker in Dallas, caring for his 15-year-old brother who has #autism. He even got a #tattoo celebrating “autism awareness month” in support of his younger sibling.

So #Trump — with no legal process whatsoever, in complete defiance of our #Constitution and the Bill of Rights — kidnapped him and deported him to one of the world’s most notorious prisons in #ElSalvador, citing the tattoo as justification."

"The goal of this sort of kidnapping and hellish incarceration isn’t to clear the streets of criminals or promote public safety or even prevent immigration: it’s to create #terror. And it’s working.

This is a playbook as ancient as the world’s first kings...

every #tyrant throughout #history has used the threat of arrest and imprisonment as a way to force public compliance with their regime."

Text from article: This morning, the world learned that Trump’s goons also shipped a married father with no criminal record (and no tattoos!) off to that same prison in El Salvador, again with no due process. The man had not committed any crime. The goal of this sort of kidnapping and hellish incarceration isn’t to clear the streets of criminals or promote public safety or even prevent immigration: it’s to create terror. And it’s working. This is a playbook as ancient as the world’s first kings. Defy the monarch, or even challenge the monarch, and your quality of life rapidly goes to hell. From the Tower of London in the twelfth century to Stalin’s gulags, from the medieval Popes’ Palacio de la Inquisición torture chambers to Hitler’s concentration camps, from Xi’s Dabancheng Re-education Camp to Trump’s ICE agents snatching people off the streets, every tyrant throughout history has used the threat of arrest and imprisonment as a way to force public compliance with their regime.

"It's not too late to stop this train, although it gets more difficult with every day that goes by, every media outlet that rolls over and pays off, every law firm that grovels before Trump. The key — as it has been throughout history — is to mobilize public opinion...

History suggests that mobilizing 3.5% of the populace of a country is enough to produce change"

Text from article: It's not too late to stop this train, although it gets more difficult with every day that goes by, every media outlet that rolls over and pays off, every law firm that grovels before Trump. The key — as it has been throughout history — is to mobilize public opinion and pressure politicians to act on behalf of traditional American values of freedom, liberty, and the rule of law. History suggests that mobilizing 3.5% of the populace of a country is enough to produce change, although recent experience in Belarus and Israel suggests that may depend on how entrenched an authoritarian regime has become, particularly if their legitimacy is enhanced by an external attack (see Reichstag Fire, Moscow Theater, 10/7, and 9/11). Nonetheless, there are things we can do right now: — Support independent, progressive media. — Show up for protests in your area. — Post your opinions on social media. — Share this and other like-minded newsletters. — Reach out to your elected officials from the federal to state to local levels. — Run for office yourself. — Join your local Democratic Party and volunteer as a precinct committeeperson. — Wake up everybody you know.

The longer we take to get moving, the more violent this will get before it's over.
