🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail! Judge Crawford ordered the release of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi this morning. Watch a video of Mahdawi speaking outside of the courthouse after his release BELOW 👇 #50501Movement #DefendDissent #MohsenMahdawi
A man, Mohsen Mahdawi with glasses and a scarf speaks into a microphone. The text overlay reads: "BREAKING NEWS MOHSEN MAHDAWI HAS BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL. Judge Crawford ordered the release of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi this morning. Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail around noon and spoke outside of the courthouse. Swipe to watch the video!" Image Source: AP.A black background with white text discusses the conditions of Mohsen Mahdawi's release. The text reads: "CONDITIONS OF RELEASE. Judge Geoffrey Crawford cited the harm caused by Mahdawi’s two-week detention without any criminal charges. Mahdawi, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp, stated “And I am saying it, clear and loud, to President Trump and his cabinet, I’m not afraid of you.” His release is conditional, requiring him to stay in Vermont, except for school and attorney meetings in New York City. Mahdawi has been a legal permanent resident for 10 years. He gained attention for his role in organizing the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University and for speaking out against the war in Gaza." Source: NPR.A photo of Mohsen Mahdawi raises his hands in a peace sign outside a building. The text overlay reads: "FOLLOW US TO STAY UPDATED ON MAHDAWI'S CASE. The case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a lawful permanent resident, highlights a disturbing trend. Mahdawi's detention suggests this administration isn't truly concerned with criminality. Instead, it appears focused on targeting individuals, immigrant or not, deemed 'undesirable' based on their views or background."

They have arrested a judge. Let that sink in. This is authoritarianism.

I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont. He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview. He should be released so he can become a citizen.

So in terms of JD Vance’s public engagements: He got booed by Vermonters skiing, couldn’t find anyone in Greenland to meet with, broke the Ohio State football trophy, and killed the beloved pope. Will any world leader ever be willing to risk meeting with him? The track record screams trouble.

Elon Musk is not a disinterested actor when it comes to our nation’s budget. He has tens of billions of dollars wrapped up in contracts and subsidies. The idea that he is meddling in government spending out of the goodness of his heart is pure fantasy.

Federal research funding is a lifeblood for Vermont. Trump's order would impound *previously approved funds* to further his anti-DEI agenda and affect these funds.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

In Vermont, there is no denying the climate crisis. We experience it every year. It's our new normal. But climate change is damaging every state, and it's the result of pollution. The country’s biggest polluters — corporations — must pay for their devastation. It's common sense.
