It’s different when a man wrongly imprisoned returns and speaks out. It would put a face on a story.

Ideas for action to take?

I don’t understand why we need to negotiate with the government of El Salvador. We are paying them to hold these people. We can just stop paying them. It’s ridiculous.

They don’t want him back because he’ll talk about conditions there.

The regime doesn’t want him returned (assuming he’s still alive) because he will report on what conditions are like in the prison.

Can you explain why no one seems to mention that the US is paying a fortune to El Salvador to imprison the people we have sent there? If we stop sending them money seems to me they should return the detainees.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Donald Trump has done pretty much nothing to lower your grocery costs.

Donald Trump and the Republicans have learned nothing.

Waste and fraud? Has the Pentagon dropped its investigation into Musk's abuse of its own reporting rules?

Resist!

Please have a staff person summarize the Q&A. The video cutout and so no one watching on YouTube got to hear any of the questions or answers. Also, good idea to check the sound before starting.

How is giving private citizens access to the personal data of citizens lawful? Remember the outcry about Hilary’s emails? What a joke. But really, what is the law on this?

Mentorship and creating safe spaces matters more than ever. Thanks to all my grad school colleagues on the NEM team for making this initiative a success. It has been a pleasure to work with you.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?

In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

Call it what it is.

My article, just published, demonstrates how structural racism and racist discourse distort what we know about gun violence, the experience of gun violence, and how we respond to and organize to reduce gun violence.
