In a shocking move, Trump detained a green card holder—legally in the U.S.—for protesting. Tomorrow, The Big Picture dives into this attack on free speech. Plus, a look at the measles outbreak that’s spreading fast as RFK Jr. takes charge of the DHHS. You won't want to miss these pieces.

It's sadly *not* that shocking, George.
It’s not shocking at all. He told us he was going to retaliate.
What about British tourist Becky Burke's detention in Tacoma .. another sad enditment of America's fall...
Won't stop me from protesting! I refuse to obey in advance. If they want to arrest me, they will have to make that move.
His name is Mahmoud Khalil
We Green Card holders learned we have no expectations or rights, protections or freedoms when Khashoggi was murdered and nothing was done about it
When I was a history teacher, I taught a section on Japanese internment during WW2. Many of my students thought Muslims would be deported or detained next. No one guessed American protesters could be targeted. These are dangerous times
Yeah, shocking, lol.
He believes that anything he doesn't like is illegal. And the Republicans won't tell him any different.

I don't think Trump could survive 3 hours working at a daycare. His feelings would get hurt he would get into verbal altercations with the other kids and then JD would have to take him home early
So glad I have an infectious disease doctor in my inner circle that I can trust. What is kennedy’s medical qualifications again?
He also said it was illegal to boycott or protest Tesla 1st amendment rights? He also cut the Columbia's funding because of this young man's speaking his mind and concerns
Between this and the economy tanking, I assume the next big headline is witch trials resume in Salem.
This guy did nothing wrong. This is like jailing someone on a speeding charge.
Not shocking to me.
Such a hell we are in.
Not so shocking, as a permanent resident of Mexico, this is part of their constitution: “Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.” Many countries have similar rules, so... maybe US is ok to do this?
What does a dispute between students and the leadership of a private university have to do with the political affairs of a country? Also, in the US, the First Amendment easily covers Khalil's actions. It applies to all citizens. Or did, apparently, until this administration decided otherwise.
What part of "green card" did you not understand? He is not a citizen. Granted, the US has extended many rights to non-citizens. Free speech is one, but ALL visa holders around the world stay in their guest country at the permission of that country. It can be revoked at any time
Speaking out on my podcast may have cost me my job, but staying silent is worse. I’m a combat vet, 12-year federal employee, 100% disabled—and I got fired. Now, I’m telling the real stories of federal workers tossed aside. Will you listen? youtube.com/@spokenreality25

And………he bought an election
I’m sorry but he is not held for protesting or exercising free speech. He is held for terrorism. And he should have all the due process he deserves, innocent until proven guilty.
Yes, they lied about his actions in order to abduct and imprison him. And now, because they're calling him a terrorist, they don't have to give him due process. Nothing about this is right.
Trump calls it terrorism but Trump is gas lighting. We all know it was for free speech. If someone were to take Trump down, would we call it "changing his mind"? It's equivalent gas lighting.
Let the virus do what it will...to the antivax idiots. Darwin strikes
Just another day in the demented mind of herr drumpf, anyone protesting against him, to the gulags with them! Just like daddy pootin whom he's trying to bow down to.......
It's funny how they go after the best human rights activists. The ones that can make a difference without hateful rhetoric.
If they can do this to any one person, they can do it to everyone, they can do it to you. Resist.

He’s getting rid of the 1st amendment to the United States Constitution. Fascist regimes cannot tolerate criticism. Plus, it’s part of proj 2O25
Nothing seems shocking anymore. I think maybe I finally really did reach “nothing surprises me anymore “.
Put (OBVIOUS) prior to (big picture),bc the abstract (ORANGE SHITLER being an anticipated / indicative / evidential Corrupt Nihilist Nazi Discriminatory / Racist Nazi-aspirated illiterate dipshit) has been obvious SINCE 2015
The Clash sang it best, with only minor tweaks to the mid 70s UK context. youtu.be/1EKCAE1vDzY?...
Ugh
Fascist
The mush-for-brains that are currently in charge of and destroying american democracy is like watching a train wreck that was self imposed by the passengers...keep informed folks!
Thank you @georgetakei.bsky.social 💥✊🏼💞
HIRE THEM BACK NOW! MAKE Congress pass the Law. Get D’s to file a Bill ordering that ALL non-political civil staff fired be REHIRED IMMEDIATELY! FORCE the vote, and find out who is really for the People (innocent civil servants) and who is for the Oligarchs. Thoughts?

There’s nothing shocking about this anymore
I'm sure not shocking to you, considering everything you suffered by the orders of a president we generally consider among the best. Trump is capable of anything in comparison.
detained ??????
My adopted son has a green card and disabilities from TBI - this is terrifying!
And even more shocking, he wasn't summarily released at his hearing today.
The American people need to shake off their complacency and do something about Trump's unlawful administration. The time is exactly now.
Not even remotely shocking.
They don't call him Trumplethinskin for nothin', ya know.
The ICEtapo and Homan are using privileged information (asylum court dates) to intercept, incarcerate and deport asylum seekers who already have assigned date and hearing locations.
No worries...Nothing to miss if it's coming from Helmsman Sulu.
