“Whom do you think is going to read this? I have something to say to somebody considering a journey into the film industry as a potential livelihood. It’s a strange time to enter the industry. I’ll say that. But I think ultimately, maybe I said this already, but I think ultimately it’s all about engaging people and connecting people through stories and hopefully changing people’s minds about things. Hopefully allowing them to see the other point of view about things.”
“And I think as long as people are doing that, finding whatever medium it is, that is a tool for them to tell stories about people’s experiences. I think that is what’s important is that we continue to understand there are differing perspectives and we continue to see the universality. I think of all humanity. That is what is important. So I hope that people use the visual medium to do that. Even on iPhone vertical, 62nd verticals.”
“I don’t need to tell you that running as a progressive in this country is never easy.” Often times, you are taking on the corporate establishment, the media establishment, and the political establishment of both parties. You are also taking…
The Supreme Court currently faces some of the biggest challenges in its history. Trump* says he is determined to break through the constitutional limits of executive power, and the Court’s own public approval hovers near all-time lows. Will the justices stand up for the Constitution on the biggest issue facing the country, the extraordinary executive power grab?
Against this backdrop, the justices are poised to hand down rulings in key cases that will affect millions of people’s lives, including access to healthcare, education, and political representation and the power of federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Join us on Wednesday, July 9, at 3 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation with Supreme Court experts about the Court’s decisions this term and what they mean for the rule of law at a time when democracy is under strain.
Whether you follow the Court closely or are looking to understand its role in our system of checks and balances, this discussion will provide essential context for how the Court is working today.

As the world knows, TACOS’ federal agents snatched the Columbia graduate student and U.S. green card holder from his home on March 8. Then his administration kept Mahmoud locked up even after a federal court ruled that the original reason the TACO ET.AL. gave for detaining him is unconstitutional. The fight is not over: TACO will continue coming after Mahmoud for his protected speech in support of Palestinian rights.
The NYCLU will keep fighting to make sure Mahmoud remains free, alongside the national ACLU, ACLU of New Jersey, the ACLU of Louisiana, Dratel & Lewis, the Center for Constitutional Rights, CLEAR, Van Der Hout LLP, and Washington Square Legal Services.
We won’t rest until the Trump administration’s bogus charges against Mahmoud are dropped and his freedom is permanently secured.
Thank you for supporting the fight for Mahmoud.
