Jeremy Hinzman's lawyer, Alyssa Manning, is in federal court today, trying to have Jeremy's deportation order stayed. This happened with Corey Glass, the day before his scheduled removal, and Corey has since won leave to appeal. In the intervening time, there has also been a very positive decision in Josh Key's case, regarding a soldier being forced to participate in human rights violations or war crimes, and an individual's right to refuse such activity. Because of this, we are hopeful - we are trying to be hopeful - that today's decision will be positive. But we know it may not be. We don't expect to hear anything before day's end. There's an emergency meeting tonight, so I may have already left when the news comes down, in which case Allan will update the blog.
Please pull it together. We need to unite in our times of grief and get out of here.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is a hopeless sinking ship, I'm out of here. There is nothing worth fighting for there. The bigots, homophobes, racists and Christians are so mindless that they cannot be reasoned with.
ReplyDeleteAnon #1: Thank you. I'm sure I will pull it together... but for now I need to grieve.
ReplyDeleteAnon #2: You're right. They cannot be reasoned with because they do not value reason. As long as I live in this country, I'll fight to improve it. But I don't want to spend the rest of my time on earth fighting a losing battle. Let's get the hell out of here.
