Thank you, Robert. I am taking your provocation and am sharing this essay (and Ezra Klein video) with many people I know. We all need to read what you wrote. Bottom line: If it can happen to one of us, it can happen to any of us.

Thanks, Sharon.

Ezra Klein's video hit me with the full force of a 2" x 4" yesterday. I thought that I knew the story and what was at stake, but he helped me realize the state of emergency that our democracy is in.

I found comfort and concern in equal measures seeing the stills and short video of Sen. Chris Van Hollen meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia last night. I feel that there was so much not being told, and it scared me. For now, he's alive, and I pray that he stays that way.

I see that other Democrats are finally getting the memo that this is the hill that maybe they need to stand on. Sen. Cory Booker is planning to visit next, to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in the spotlight, and to continue to shine a bright light on the evil deeds of this Administration.
