good things in dark times
May. 9th, 2025 07:54 pmI saw 2 Bluesky threads today liveblogging Rümeysa Öztürk's court hearing today [Joshua J. Friedman and Adam Klasfeld], but I didn't entirely believe ICE would actually honor the court order to release her.
But someone posted in a local Discord tonight "Rumeysa is OUTSIDE of the CAGE" with a link to this Reddit post (which shows a screenshot of CNN showing Rümeysa Öztürk exiting a building, walking in the open air, chyron says "Breaking News: Now: Ozturk released from detention facility") and apparently feeling my feelings meant I low-key cried.
(Someone else later posted this NBC article, which has video.)
[idk how much anyone has followed this particular case -- there are SO MANY horrors -- but Öztürk lives one town over from me.]

In less "pushing back against the apocalypse" good news, my 20-year college reunion is next weekend, and I believe I have achieved on-campus housing!
( background you maybe don't care about )
