Not a drag queen, not a trans person, just a Republican

I can't just do one

They fired forest rangers making $60k a year.

4. Medical malpractice. Here’s why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death. An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds. 23/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

And please thank lawyers doing this work. We’re carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances. If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. They’ve been at it the longest and have the least resources. 30/end?

Supporting Trump or his actions in any way is a moral failing

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

DHS funding ran out at midnight last night, triggering a partial government shutdown. Republicans had a choice between supporting massively popular, desperately needed restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol or shutting down DHS. And they chose to shut down DHS. 🧵

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

close the camps abolish ice 🧵

A white lady in sensible sandals set fire to a building. The tides are turning.

"When will you turn your attention toward legislation that uplifts rather than harms, that protects rather than violates, that expands opportunity rather than restricts it?" -Erica Andrade, president & CEO of El Centro (www.elcentroinc.com <-- an excellent place to volunteer at/donate to!)

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education remains stronger than ever.

I feel the same way about the Jesus commercials - He Gets Us.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else. Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns. Trump delivers for the oligarchs.

It's a white club, not a smart club, that's why they're so mad when non whites go there. Has zero to do with ability or skill. Ivy on the cv means you get a job because you're in the club not because you're good at what you do. I think we're seeing that shit on full display with the Files

“You can sense, particularly from characters like Knowles, a cloying desperation to be seen as important, shiny media figures in their own right. They want the glow of stardom, and they hate the people who have it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/none-more-wo...

Good to see the achievements of a women’s sports team illustrated by a photo of a man

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social could basically be screaming "I told you so ten years ago" and be absolutely right. Still she soldiers on producing beautiful prose that you SHOULD read

omg no way this is so unexpected

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

This is the way. Natural consequences of your choices.

name exactly one (1) thing republicans have done since taking power to actually improve lives. is it getting rid of windmills near trump properties? maybe your life is better because trans people in kansas cant use bathrooms anymore? perhaps its murdering fishermen in the caribbean

"Hey everyone, look, these protestors are super cool and attractive and honestly look like heroes in an action movie, totally unlike our people who are shadowy figures who won't show their faces. This is bad, right?" -DHS Propaganda

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Alex Pretti's murder was recorded on a body cam. They still whisked the shooter out of the city. Merely recording state violence on yet another device changes nothing Abolish ICE. Demand they hand over reports, dispatch & arrest documents. Tie them to video evidence we already have & prosecute them

ICE is distinguishable by their rotundity, their stature, their slobby half-civilian uniforms, their visible lack of physical conditioning, and their total lack of training. Border Patrol is distinguishable because they’re always equipped like they’re about to ship out for Fallujah.

What is the difference ‼️‼️‼️

Its counter productive to even platform this ass.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I can’t just move on, and none of us should. End the Terror. Free America's cities. Prosecute those responsible. Defend our Constitution and our humanity.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are. It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is. All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that. Hypothetically.

Love to wet my pants over the electoral consequences of being labelled “anti-police” but not have the slightest fear of being labelled “ambivalent to innocent people getting gun down by the president’s private militia”. I am very brave. This is Leadership.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
