I’ve just called both of my Senators pleading with them not to let the Save Act pass in the Senate. Millions of people’s voting rights are in jeopardy - including adoptees. Many of us don’t have birth certificates at all or that match the names on our passports or other IDs. Please call yours, too!

@nicolechung.bsky.social and I wanted to assemble an A-Team of the best writing by adoptees today, and that’s what we were fortunate enough to…do. We are immensely proud of the book and the work it is doing in the world, as it is the first anthology of short stories by adoptees about adoptees.”

New from Rumeysa Ozturk's lawyer: Rumeysa hasn't been accused of any crime & "DHS has not produced any evidence" that she did anything unlawful. Rumeysa wasn't able to speak to her lawyer for 24+ hours & not until after she was in Louisiana — despite a court order that she not be moved from Mass.

"Statement from Mahsa Khanbabai of Khanbabai Immigration Law, representing Rumeysa Ozturk
March 27, 2025
Masked DHS agents unlawfully arrested my client Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright scholar and graduate student residing in Massachusetts on a valid student visa. It was only late Wednesday evening that I learned that she was sent to Louisiana, despite a federal court order that she not be removed from Massachusetts.
Roughly 24 hours after her arrest, Rumeysa was processed at her final detention facility after being driven to multiple government offices in New England and flown to Louisiana on early Wednesday morning. Throughout that period of time, my client was not charged or given the opportunity to speak with a lawyer. I had the opportunity to speak with Rumeysa late Wednesday night and she was grateful to finally get an explanation of what was happening to her and to learn of all the community support she has.
By now the public has seen video of the terrifying moments of when a group of DHS agents — wearing plain clothes and masks — surrounded Rumeysa on the street while she was on her way to meet friends to break her fast for Ramadan.
This appears to be a pattern: ICE stalking Muslim students as they are heading to or from iftar to break their fast. As you can see in the video, DHS agents grabbed at her clothes, her hands, and her backpack before detaining her and taking her to an unknown location, in an unmarked car.
Nothing in this video indicates that these are law enforcement agents and from which agency. This video should shake everyone to their core.
Rumeysa is a Fulbright scholar and a gifted PhD student studying Child Study and Human Development at Tufts University, a stark contrast to the Trump administration’s baseless claims about Rumeysa."

"Rumeysa, like all of us in America, is entitled to express her opinions freely. Now, she is being unlawfully targeted by the Trump administration simply because she co-authored an op-ed calling for Palestinians to have basic human rights.
Rumeysa has not been accused of committing any crime and DHS has not produced any evidence that she was engaged in any unlawful activities. Meanwhile, there is plenty of evidence of U.S. supplied bombs being dropped on Gaza killing over 1,000 people, including over 250 children in the last week. It appears the only thing Rumeysa is being targeted for is her right to free speech.
This case is just one piece of the puzzle in the Trump administration’s broader campaign to attack any student, green card holder, or human rights defender associated with the peaceful movement against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
We should all be horrified at the way DHS abducted Rumeysa in broad daylight. No person, regardless of their citizenship status, should be targeted over their views, especially in support of human rights.
The federal government’s blatant disregard for the court decision sets a dangerous precedent for us as a country and worldwide. If the U.S. president doesn’t have to listen to a federal court order, what does that mean for the rest of the world?
Over 2,000 people attended a rally in Somerville on Wednesday in support of Rumeysa, demonstrating the American people will not accept the dismantling of our Constitution. We are working urgently to secure Rumeysa’s immediate release and her safe return home."

My statement on the leadership of Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries ⬇️

The best time for Senator Schumer and Representative Jeffries to step down from their roles in leadership was immediately after Democrats lost the House, Senate, White House and the popular vote in November, which hadn’t happened in 20 years.

The second best time for them to step down would be right now, after allowing Republicans to run over them in budget negotiations.

As Republicans hold a trifecta, it was their Party’s responsibility to pass a budget and get the votes to keep the government running, not the Democratic Party.

Yet, under the leadership of both Representative Jeffries and Senator Schumer, Democrats are yet again being pushed around by Republicans, which will result in working class Americans being harmed by the Republican Party’s budget.

As I travel this country, I hear from people and overwhelmingly, working class Americans are growing frustrated with the feeble leadership of the Democratic Party.

People want an end to the billionaire influence over our politics, universal healthcare, tuition-free college, living wages, housing for all, making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and a political party that fights for these things.

It’s time for, not just a change in leadership, but a new direction.

Wealthy white politician who constantly rails about the importance of free speech to make example of Black member of Congress for exercising his peaceful speech. It's a shame that Green was the only one who stood up. Where is Dem leadership on this? How are they still so silent? smh

Tweet from Speaker Johnson: Rep. Al Green’s shameful and egregious behavior during President Trump’s Joint Address disgraced the institution of Congress and the constituents he serves. Despite my repeated warnings, he refused to cease his antics and I was forced to remove him from the chamber.

He deliberately violated House rules, and an expeditious vote of censure is an appropriate remedy. Any Democrat who is concerned about regaining the trust and respect of the American people should join House Republicans in this effort.
