For decades, Venezuelans have endured deep harm under the Maduro government, including repression, economic collapse, and violence. Acknowledging that suffering is essential. But let’s be clear: U.S. intervention has never centered the safety or dignity of Venezuelan people.

Today and every day is Indigenous People's Day...

If someone says "why don't they just get in line," send them this.

See what I mean? Psychological warfare. It’s giving Regina George. It’s giving dudes in hoods. It’s giving toxic ex desperately holding on to power.

This morning I’m bereft. They hate us. They’re killing us. They’re terrorizing us. They’re torturing us. Most days I can see it and process it to the best of my ability in that moment. I have to put one foot in front of another. I’ve become disciplined in that. And then there are days like this.

Folks who want to meet this moment really have to do some deep internal work on how they inadvertently uphold patriarchy, white supremacy, structural racism, class differences, and privilege to truly begin to make an impact. Like for real for real.

Today’s culmination of National Migration Week led by @usccbofficial.bsky.social and @catholiccharities.bsky.social provides an opportunity for deep reflection. For me it highlights the deadly ethnic cleansing happening in our midst fueled by bigotry, nationalism, pride, and power.

We need names. We need names to honor the dead. They deserve at least a modicum of dignity even posthumously because they certainly weren't given any when they were killed. apnews.com/article/dall...

Excellent feature by @ujohnnyg.bsky.social for the @texastribune.org

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Proud of the incredible teams at @lasamericasiac.bsky.social and the @aclunm.bsky.social for their dogged advocacy on behalf of Paulo and his family. His wrongful detainment as a law-abiding DACA recipient must end. Free Paulo now. #DACA #Detention #ICE

Today in 2015, the body of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian child, was found on a beach in Turkey. A photo went viral, sparking awareness & compassion for migrants who drown at sea. Historians now say it was the last time anyone publicly cared about the death of children.
