I’ve never once had a conversation with a Palestinian person to my recollection and certainly not about Palestine. Yet I believe on my own that Palestinian citizens are having war crimes committed against them. I’m not a crazy or bad person who would murder others based on that belief, but I got it without being radicalized by international students at a college campus. The existence of these students is not causing mass shootings. Shooters are.
While I think MAGA is far too confident in the support for its lawlessness and cruelty, Dems have also misread the room. The fight should be to afford this person due process and get his ass out of El Salvador as basically the entire judicial branch at this point has unanimously and increasingly rather contemptuously told Trump.
But I don’t actually think his removal from the country is unwarranted, and while I’ll always endorse treating others with compassion, I’m not sure we need the human interest pieces.
Bad things happen to all people, whether they’ve done mostly good or bad in their lives. We can advocate for all of them to receive justice from government overreach without trying to paint it as more than it is.

Unless Merrick Garland has been around for several hundred years longer than I thought, I don’t think undoing his policies will lead to arrests of journalists. There’s plenty of actual illegal and unconstitutional stuff happening in this Administration, let’s maybe cool it on pretending others are.
That said, the Trump Admin brings a hammer to basically every task it seems, so hopefully they don’t go scorched earth on journalists to go after leakers (that don’t exist because they’re actually all lies according to them).
