He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriThis is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriThere will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law. When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent. The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriTwo victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.
- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriToday, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriEvery part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

- Jefferies and Schumer always seem to be competing for who can do the worst job of opposing fascism. Trump did not secure anything and his efforts to terrorize immigrants trying to navigate our system legally means we are encouraging immigrants to break the law to avoid ICE

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriYesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.
- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriI will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

- Reposted by Elio AbbondanzieriI'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
