The majorityβs written opinion attempting to rationalize its utterly indefensible ruling would be worth reading too, except it doesnβt exist.
This sounds really cool.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove.
It grants you great wisdom and fortune.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, Iβm posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops arenβt marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
