“I feel grateful and indebted to the people who have stood by me. I have come to learn that goodness is transnational, transcultural, and trans-ethnic. I’m thrilled to reunite with my family.” - Mohamedou Slahi
It is harrowing to consider everything that Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been through, but it is truly a blessing to receive this photograph of him, freed this week after 14 years at the Guantanamo Bay prison. His lawyer, the remarkable Nancy Hollander, flew to Mauritania to be by his side. I am humbled to my core to have been able to support Nancy and the ACLU on the campaign to free Mohamedou from #GITMO
So much love to everyone who helped make this possible, especially Ould Salahi Yahdih & the Slahi family, attorneys Hina Shamsi, Teri Day Duncan; editor & steadfast advocate Larry Siems; along with the unbridled talents of Sara Gold, Jenn Sturm, Josh Bell, Noa Yachot, Molly Kaplan, Christina C. DiPasquale, Ginny Simmons, Autumn Marie, Suzie Gilbert, Mercer Brockenbrough and the ACLU Nationwide team; as well as everyone who lended their talents and reporting Molly Crabapple, Mark Ruffalo, Spencer Ackerman, Ed Pilkington, Charlie Savage, Cora Currier, Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept, and so many others.

Donald Trump is a canary in a coal mine. The fact that someone so inexperienced and toxic made it this far in our election cycle should serve as a clarion call to all Americans that under our patina of democratic values lies a cancer of societal alienation and intersecting structures of racism, sexism, and religious and racial bigotry. This cancer needs to be cut out, and efforts to promote healing must extend well beyond November 8th, 2016. In 2016, no one should feel comfortable being racist, sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic…this shit needs to stop. #stoptrump #fullstop #debates #debatenight #debate #trump #maga #trump #trumptrain

Donald Trump has encouraged the scapegoating and demonization of Latinx Americans, immigrants, refugees, and Muslims for his own political gain. Whether it be his sloganeering about building a wall on our southern border, imposing a religious test on immigrants seeking refuge in the US, or introducing a draconian US Muslim registry, each imply that there is something to be feared in ‘the other’ and that he will somehow quell these fears. In doing so, this ‘othering’ rhetoric bundles American’s legitimate fears of terrorism and panoply of misplaced paranoia, encourages racial and ethnic animus, and has already—to varying extents— influenced the hate that leads to acts of violence that have threatened or taken lives of American citizens. We need to stop this. #stopislamophobia #stoptrump #fullstop #debate #debatenight #islam #islamophobia

Donald Trump’s words and actions are normalizing sexism and gendered insults as “locker room banter,” in ways that are traumatic to survivors of sexual assault and harassment and radiate toxicity to women and families across the country. Left unchecked or excused, Trumpism dismisses the real harm caused by the words and behaviors that Trump dismisses and threatens to manifest itself as backward policies that create barriers for women at home and in the workplace. #StopMisogyny #stoptrump #fullstop

To me, August 9th will forever signify the murder of Mike Brown. So much has taken place in the two years since. Take a moment today to think about Michael and what you can do to prevent the next.
