BREAKING: Following today's emergency hearing, Judge Brian Murphy orders the Trump administration to "maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country," such that he could order their return if needed.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Not surprised. But still shocked "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem found that the conditions in #Afghanistan..no longer merited the protected status" Despicable. Madam Secretary, women cannot work or go to school or raise their voices in public under the #Taliban tinyurl.com/t2j2c3am

Important work here by @akilarad.bsky.social "Radhakrishnan said she was bringing the case “to prevent my own government from punishing me for trying to hold the #Taliban accountable for its systematic violence against women and girls from #Afghanistan”." I support these courageous plaintiffs

Remembering my father Mahfoud Bennoune on what would've been his 89th birthday In these harrowing times, I'm inspired by the fact that he never gave up working for freedom & dignity & knowledge & reason & humanity in his beloved #Algeria & in the world We shouldn't either mahfoudbennoune.com

Listen to @booker.senate.gov filibuster LIVE now tinyurl.com/2xbz6vnr as he amplifies the words of ordinary Americans whose hopes & dreams are being decimated by the Trump Administration "not knowing what comes next.. fearing it will be worse than the day before" @CNN: put him on #corybooker

Honored to take part in this @ejiltalk.bsky.social podcast on international law & the rights of #Afghan women w @saharfetrat.bsky.social of @hrw.org She said women use the word "suffocating" to describe the situation under Taliban rule & argued that #Afghanistan may now be unlivable for #women

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

This is how you respond to attacks on lawyers and the legal profession. Thank you, Center for Reproductive Rights & Nancy Northrup. (Abortion rights lawyers have known what it is like to be under attack for awhile, so not surprising they know what to do and say now.)

With you, brother #ThankYouREM "Hang your collar up inside Hang your $ on me Listen 2 the water still Listen 2 the causeway you are Fed & educated Primitive & wild Welcome to the occupation Here we stand & here we fight All your fallen heroes Held & dyed &skinned alive Listen to the Congress fire"

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process. Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

Very important. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

This is insane

This is the toll of #GenderApartheid

Honored to attend opening of #UN Commission on the Status of #Women #CSW69 yesterday & rally with global women’s rights advocates in tough times Strong words from UN SG #AntonioGuterres: “Masters of misogyny are gaining strength..Those of us who care about equality for women have to stand up”

Listen. To. Afghan. Women. Powerful words in the Security Council from @azadah.bsky.social: “No term better describes the treatment of #Afghan women than #GenderApartheid” It should be codified in draft crimes against humanity convention #Afghanistan

At the #UNSC, @azadah.bsky.social describes how the Taliban have erased women so thoroughly that they are suffocating in their homes, banned from even looking out the window. "We, the women of #Afghanistan, call this gender apartheid."

Despite repeated calls from the women of #Afghanistan to hold the Taliban accountable for escalating repression of women's rights, the international community has been taking "alarming steps to normalize the Taliban," @azadah.bsky.social warns the #UNSC.
