⚖️It is illegal to deport people for political speech, and the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil sets a dangerous precedent.
If they can disappear a campus activist for Palestine, they can disappear you. We have the power to fight back to protect these rights, so let’s get to work. 1/2
Only 14 out of 215 House Dems signed letter demanding release of #MahmoudKhalil. This is exactly what I mean re how racialization of Palestinians as security threats obscures fact that they are canaries in the coal mine. Protecting them is protecting all.

ICE is now detaining immigrants at Guantanamo Bay. While unsurprising given Trump’s current onslaught, returning to actively using Guantanamo Bay shows his desire to shock but is also emblematic of the recent turn toward a “tough on crime” orientation. bit.ly/gitmoCR

Congress is voting on a bill (HR 9495) that would give the federal gov unfettered power to strip any nonprofit org of its 501c3 status that it claims is "supporting terrorism," w/o having to disclose evidence for its claims. Take action now to stop this: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…
Want to make this very clear: *Because* Biden is fully supporting the most fascist right wing gov in Israel's short history, he is ceding ground to fascist right wing forces in the US. The blame is on Biden's admin & them alone, yet we will all suffer the consequences come 2024.
🔥 New Letter to the Editor in the @sfchronicle by CURB's own Brian Kaneda on the harms #Prop36 would cause: sfchronicle.com/opinion/lett…
"Real solutions — like funding for drug treatment, mental health care and housing — are critically underfunded. If California’s handling of the addiction, mental health and housing crises, as the Chronicle suggests, is a “shameful” failure, why support a measure that will only worsen them?"
