From Jewish Voice for Peace: Free Rumeysa Ozturk! Never Again for ANYONE!

Tears of outrage and horror. Whatever we would have done, or not done, to stop the Nazis in the leadup to WWII and Hitler's genocide and fascist rampage is what we are doing today.  Molly


Free Rumeysa Ozturk!
Never Again for ANYONE!
Yesterday, we watched in horror and disgust as newly released footage showed masked ICE agents surrounding a terrified Rumeysa, a PhD student at Tufts University, handcuffing her on the street and taking her away.
Like previous abductions of people without US citizenship who expressed support for Palestine, Rumeysa’s lawyer was unable to locate her for several hours. We now know that ICE transferred her to an immigration detention center in Louisiana — in blatant violation of the orders from a federal judge.
The Trump regime’s illegal and appalling escalation of targeting supporters of Palestinian freedom is horrifying in its own right.
It is also a warning for everyone. We’ve seen this before and we know where it leads.
And now is the time to do everything we can to stop the outcome that so many of our ancestors did not survive. If we don’t resist the Trump regime’s illegal abuses today, we risk not being able to tomorrow. Our beliefs, our history and our duty demand we stand up to fascism before it escalates even further. There is no middle ground.
Yesterday, thousands took to the streets of Boston to make it clear: Come for one, face us all! Free all political prisoners, and free Palestine! No matter the attack, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Palestinian freedom, to protecting free speech and the right to protest, and to defending all under attack by the Trump regime.
