#a2council candidate starter pack. @drlopezimmigration.bsky.social’s books not shown but on order because Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County have been through ICE mayhem before.

Feels good to be writing again. open.substack.com/pub/deportat...

Los Angeles! join me Saturday at 1PM in DTLA for a special live @ms.now broadcast.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

“There’s another young boy I met last time whose name is Liam Nias,” @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social said. “He’s 7, from Honduras, I believe. He reminded me of Liam Ramos, except no one knows this other boy — he’s just unknown and sitting there in this prison.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

2026: Will that open field next to your town be used to build an AI data center or an immigrant detention center? 😭

The harm deportation is often thought of something that occurs on a single, traumatic day. This is sometimes true. But it’s also about how much changes in a person’s life the other 364 days of that year. No one is better suited to write about this than someone who lives and works in the community.

So Anthropic is the hero villain villain hero hero vil….

Remember, the US plays a large role in the unfolding violence in Mexico. First, Mexican drug production is directly related to US drug consumption. And second, most firearms used in cartel violence come from the US.

Thanks for a great night Shuler’s Books! Where are my A2 book lovers?!

ICE in Italy: When American Border Politics Hit European Streets

It was a joy to talk immigration, organizing, and Raiding the Heartland in Iowa City! Thanks to @prairielights.com for the warm welcome and wonderful event to a packed house! What events are going on in your community? What would you like to see next?

@wdlopez.bsky.social (@umichsph.bsky.social) is a public health professor whose work considers the impacts of deportations on families and communities, especially in non-border states. 🔗 Connect: scholars.org/scholar/will...

In our latest episode, we got to chat with @wdlopez.bsky.social about all the science showing what ICE raids do to our mental and physical health. Check out his excellent new book for more on this - Raiding the Heartland. www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Perpetual shout out to @aaindivisible.bsky.social alone or in a group, hot, cold or in a penguin suit… Love you all!

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

We went from "It's terrible that ICE is arresting people in pre-schools" to "It's terrible that ICE is arresting pre-schoolers" in about two months. Say something. Now. You can already see the speed of ICE escalation. Don't wait any longer.

Ann Arbor rallies quick. No Kings. No Petrol War.

A special edition of @thelatinonewsletter.org is new from @juanescalante.com The Long Road Ahead for Venezuela Here are my three big questions on this developing situation

I can’t wait to know how many more books you read than me. #NYE

I love to watch ICE protesters learn from one another, but I also love how each location retains its own unique protest flavor. Have you seen any protest strategies that stand out to you?

There are many ways that immigration enforcement leads to student absences. But a new one is rising to the top. And I love it. Students walk out in solidarity to protest ICE and CBP in their neighborhoods! ✊✊🏽✊🏽 refusefascism.org/voices-of-co...

Here are a few helpful phrases and facts if the immigration conversation gets tense at the dinner table.

If you've read Raiding the Heartland (or plan to read it over break), I'd love to talk about it with you! Join me on January 22nd at Brad Thomson's law office for a book discussion and free pizza : ) Can’t be there in person? Join online.

Ways to support immigrant communities: 1. Donate to advocacy orgs 2. Attend a KYR training 3. Educate yourself (read!) 4. If there's enforcement in your area, consider offering to pick up groceries, take kids to school, etc. 5. Vote like your life (and those of your neighbors) depends on it!

If you never cared about immigration until you saw a video of someone picked up off the street, or a mother taken from her child’s arms, or a family arrested at the courthouse, it’s OK. Today is a perfect day to learn about deportation. And today is the perfect day to start doing something about it.

there may well be more citizens showing up here in Charlotte to learn how to peacefully resist Trump’s indiscriminate mass deportation effort than federal agents on the ground here, as we saw firsthand last night.

We can and must do more to protect the health of immigrant communities. Here's how: Mitigating The Health Impacts Of Exclusionary Immigration Policies: An Evidence Review | Health Affairs www.healthaffairs.org/content/brie... by @nolankline.bsky.social @wdlopez.bsky.social

If you didn’t learn about ICE until today and have no data on deportation, you can still make an argument against what’s going on right now. Let me show you.

Spent the weekend in Mount Pleasant—the same Iowa city we visited in 2018 after it was hit by a massive ICE raid. If researching deportation has taught me anything, it’s this: communities, are strong, creative, and resourceful. They never asked to be heroes. But if you make them, they will.

I am starting an Immigration and Education starter pack. DM me or comment below if you would like me to add you! go.bsky.app/4pkTW9j

A haunted house but it’s just congress getting along and giving people their SNAP benefits so it’s totally surprising and borderline unbelievable but not scary.

What (re(re(re)))radicalized me? ICE ziptying CHILDREN.

As a researcher, I pay attention to new words and phrases US media (English and Spanish) now has to use to describe US politics: "ICE round-up," "immigration sweeps," and "narcolancha" are now regularly in circulation. Telling.

These children--like all children caught in the middle of immigration enforcement--will carry these mental scars with them forever.

In this op-ed, @wdlopez.bsky.social of @umich.edu says that recent mass deportations will lead to severe social and economic repercussions. He writes about the resistance efforts led by those who have supported families impacted by ICE raids. Read more in TIME: time.com/7319484/immi...

"From large cities like Los Angeles to small, rural towns like O’Neill, Neb., communities have come together...to resist the cruelty and chaos of mass deportation," writes William D. Lopez (@wdlopez.bsky.social), author of "Raiding the Heartland." @TIME. time.com/7319484/immi...

Happy book birthday, a.k.a. publication day, to Raiding the Heartland: American Story of Deportation and Resistance!

This was a fantastic interview with @motherjones.com. Thanks to Isabela for spending an hour on Zoom to ask great questions about the book and its relevance tot he Hyundai raid in Ellabell.

Drove through a Saline, MI today. Every community of every size has a voice. We love to see it. #IceIsCruel #ChingaLaMigra

Congratulations to @thelatinonewsletter.org board member @wdlopez.bsky.social on his new book!

It's here! It's hard to relay the feeling of holding your book in your hands for the first time. I know times are dark right now, but I'm going to celebrate this win, and you are welcomed to join me : )

Be angry any time a US citizen with no criminal record is unlawfully detained and abused for being an undocumented immigrant. AND be angry any time an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record is unlawfully detained and abused for being an undocumented immigrant.
