Your twenty-four hours aren't the same as mine

I wrote a rather more restrained letter than I felt when signing CAIR's petition to my members of Congress to intervene for the release of Mahmoud Khalil. I did not use profanity or recall the Palmer Raids. I did invoke American ideals and identify myself as a Jew, since the notion that I should thus cheer the stripping of civil liberties on the grounds of pro-Palestinian activism is revolting and at least two ways racist. I hope the federal order to halt his deportation is effective. This country became something of a specialist in the vanishing of detainees in my lifetime and the Overton window has these jagged holes punched in it.

I've been calling and writing to my members of Congress about this, but it's not making me feel any less worried.

I signed a petition from Bend the Arc, too, and I am right there worrying with you.

I don’t wanna be interned with Stosh Cotler, she’s mean to the help and she’s bananagrams, so
I’m glad BtA has moved on from her and I’ll let you know when we can add our names to whatever T’ruah does.

I did in fact figure you would tell me when the Danny signal went up.
