I once worked for a judge, so maybe have more faith in the judicial system than it deserves. But I'm encouraged by this U.S. District of W. Texas order granting habeas to asylum seeker Liam Ramos. Does it change much? No, but every act of resistance counts. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Screen shot of a court order that says, "Apparent also is the government's ignorance of an American historical document called the
Declaration of Independence. Thirty-three-year-old Thomas Jefferson enumerated grievances against
a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation. Among others were:
1. "He has sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People."
2. "He has excited domestic Insurrection among us.”
3. "For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us."
4. "He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies without the consent
of our Legislatures."
"We the people" are hearing echos of that history."

I first read this book 30 years ago, and yeah, it's still relevant.

Excerpt from Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire - The oppressor is solidary with the oppressed only when he stops regarding the oppressed as an abstract category and sees them as persons who have been unjustly dealt with, deprived of their voice, cheated in the sale of their labor—when he stops making pious, sentimental, and individualistic gestures and risks an act of love. True solidarity is found only in the plenitude of this act of love, in its existentiality, in its praxis. To affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free, and yet to do nothing tangible to make this affirmation a reality, is a farce. (Location 126)
