#FreeLud now and always

🚨 “The government has kidnapped one of my friends.”

I spoke to loved ones of 38-year-old regional video gaming champion Ludovic Mbock, who came to the US legally from Cameroon & was snatched by ICE in Baltimore while applying for his yearly work permit—as he’s done for 20 years.
@therealnews.com

Lud is a caring soul. While I can't say I know him personally, we have enough mutual friends who are the gentlest human beings, so I can say without a fragment of doubt that he doesn't even come close to the scary evil criminal danger to society his kidnappers want to paint him as.

#FREELUD

How horrible!

Ludovic Mbock doesnt deserve this, read his story, he entered the country LEGALLY, he’s been living in the country LEGALLY FOR 20yrs.

DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!

No criminal record, educated, helps the community, pays taxes and checks in with immigration, GETS KIDNAPPED BY ICE

I wrote about an all-time favorite media genre of mine: the Sleeper Cell Panic story. It addition to helping prop up the war effort against Iran and pressuring Dems to abandon their (token) DHS reforms, it has the added bonus of promoting mindless paranoia and racial profiling.

As opposition to Iran war grows, US media ramps up ‘Iranian sleeper cell’ panic How to bring the war home to an increasingly war-weary public? Tell them terrorists are “hiding in plain sight.”

You can't make this up. The EU is sanctioning Iran after it has been victimized by EU allies the US and Israel in an illegal and genocidal war of aggression.

Critical reporting from @shannonheffernan.bsky.social and Anna Flagg. It was an honor to be in conversation with these esteemed reporters to talk about their exposé on child detention; Shannon and Anna bring another level of sophistication to the meaning of journalistic integrity.
