Women & students were particularly impacted. β€œEverything that conservatives tried to downplay, New Hampshire told us exactly what would happen on a national scale under the SAVE Act.” - me

Dems ask Trump admin to explain Khalil’s arrest, calling it β€˜playbook of authoritarians’ More than 100 House Democrats sent the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The recent detention of Mahmoud Khalil because of his political advocacy is a direct violation of the First Amendment.

We are joining members of Congress in demanding answers about this outrageous abuse of power.

In response to the request for docs showing who ordered the shut down of USAID on *January 31*, DOJ filed a letter in which GSA tells USAID that its occupancies are cancelled.

The letter was sent on *FEBRUARY 7.* It doesn't show who authorized the building's closure a week earlier! 3/

If he was married to Nancy Reagan, he would not be showing his entire demented ass on TV like this. No one loves him enough to protect him from himself.

But the Alien Enemies Act was only one of the 4 related Adams/Federalist acts in 1798 that outraged Anericans.

The Sedition Act was aimed at the Jefferson’s opposing party & newspapers that supported their brutal criticism of
government.

This is bad news for us all. 2/2
