Yaa'kub Vijandre, 38, is detained in Georgia’s Folkston detention center and accused of “glorifying terrorism”—due to a handful of social media posts, several of which refer to his Muslim faith.
His attorneys argue his detention is unconstitutional, violating First Amendment speech protections.

Agree. Our capacity to govern feels broken, but our capacity to organize is definitely not.
The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

We saw a district in Tennessee engineered to be R+22 swing to be ~R+13 this week. I'm betting a bunch of those new districts in Texas don't have that kind of margin to lose. When we empower Texans to vote, the GOP bites it, so let's take care of Texans, y'all.
