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.
