READ THIS ~ it is absolutely appalling! Who else agrees?? #Pinks #ProudBlue

Imagine being a billionaire and bussing homeless people out of DC because you don't want to see them around the White House. You should be building housing, giving them job opportunities, and funding mental health and addiction services instead of treating human beings like trash you can just relocate out of sight.
If you're so rich, use your own damn money to help our country and be a REAL patriot instead of the fraud you are!

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

In addition to violating Mr. Mahdawi’s First Amendment rights, the Rubio
Determination and Mr. Mahdawi’s unlawful detention also violates Mr. Mahdawi’s statutory rights
and due process rights.
PARTIES
8. Petitioner Mohsen Mahdawi is a Palestinian who was born and raised in a refugee
camp in the West Bank. He is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and has been for
the last ten years. He is a recent student of Columbia University, with an expected graduation date
of May 2025. He has been admitted to a Master’s program at Columbia University’s School of
International and Public Affairs (“SIPA”), to begin in the fall of 2025.

After growing up in a refugee camp, Mr. Mahdawi felt compelled to advocate for
Palestinian human rights upon moving to the United States.
22. Mr. Mahdawi is also a committed Buddhist and believes in non-violence and
empathy as a central tenet of his religion. In fall of 2021, he became the president of the Columbia
University Buddhist Association and led it for two years.
23. In fall of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi co-founded the Palestinian Student Union (“Dar”) at
Columbia University which “serves to engage with and celebrate Palestinian culture, history, and
identity.” Mr. Mahdawi co-founded this organization with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian lawful
permanent resident who was also recently detained by ICE for his expressive conduct related to
Palestine.

Mr. Mahdawi appeared in numerous televised interviews and print news articles
regarding the military campaign in Gaza and related protests. In December of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi
appeared on 60 Minutes where he shared that, as a child, he watched an Israeli soldier shoot and
kill his best friend in the West Bank.
27. Throughout his time as a student and a leader of Dar and the Columbia University
Buddhist Association, Mr. Mahdawi was always willing to engage in dialogue with people whose
views and beliefs differed from his own. Mr. Mahdawi believed, and continues to believe, that
more speech is the solution to disagreement, rather than less, and that empathy and understanding
through communication are a way to resolve conflicts peacefully.

…and a peaceful political solution. Mr. Mahdawi gave speeches at several of these protests. In his
speeches, Mr. Mahdawi advocated for Palestinian human rights, a permanent ceasefire, and a
peaceful resolution that affirmed the human dignity of all.
25. During one protest, Mr. Mahdawi vocally denounced an unaffiliated passerby who
made an antisemitic comment, chanting “shame on him”. Mr. Mahdawi stated that “we are against

antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to
justice everywhere.” The confrontation was documented by the Columbia Spectator

#handsoff. 5,000 ralliers landed on Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, CA. Sonoma, posted 3,000, and there were 100s in Napa, and 100s more driving by or walking or biking by. Oakland & San Fran will get the media, but we are the working class who support the farms and tourism that fuels our county.

The thief who bankrupted the richest nation on earth Too arrogant to pay for the people in need, to stupid to understand you can’t dance with a tank or a Tesla. So much humanity will rise, perhaps in the ashes, but we will rise. #Hands-Off my country you… I can’t think of the right word…

This outrage and fight on a budget has no strategy or thought behind it. Schumer makes a damn good point, and it is a strategic move. I think his move, at the very least, should be considered. Shut down the government, instant coup.

The tragedy of this is that the people who need the most will receive the least. So many decades building solutions all under Republican protection.

Finally in this three-parter, Volodymyr Zelensky’s role in the Oval debacle… I saw an exhausted, anxious man watching the support he needed slipping through his hands and it happened so fast he went numb. He’ll be wondering what happened for awhile. America will never be anything but an enemy.

In the case of JD Vance in the Ukrainian debacle, he demonstrated his total lack of experience in diplomacy and his lack of experience with anything, for that matter. I still can’t believe Americans bought into his bullshit.

What was evident in the meeting with Ukraine yesterday, it showed the character of all three men. trump offered a deal and doesn’t understand the difference between “wheeling and dealing” and diplomacy.
