DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

‏Every time I call my father, I’m excited to hear his voice — but all I hear are bombs. The sound of war drowns him out. I don’t know what scares me more — the airstrikes, the hunger, or how terrified my little sisters are every time the sky shakes.

I want to be clear on this: the reason for the unrest in LA is these are LEGAL immigrants who are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to by going to ICE check ins that many have been doing for years, and seeing them getting rounded up including at naturalization preparations.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

The people of LA would really like to go about their day. Buy groceries, get their laundry done, spend time with family. Live their lives in peace. Kind of like all our immigrant friends and neighbors. It’s the feds and ICE that are making this impossible. They are creating the crisis.

(Longish thread. Apologies) I have met many inspiring colleagues over the past few months, many of whom are in academic institutions targeted by the current administration, and many others who are about to be (the analogy to the ‘eye of Sauron’ has been invoked many times; gallows humor). 1/

So, ICE "officers" are going around with faces covered, kidnapping (sorry, "arresting") people, without any ID or warrants, & generally acting like goons or thugs. And they wonder why they are not respected? Really? Are they kidding? Respect has to be earned. Take masks off & wear ID for a start!

Just a thought. White men in suits have suppressed my wages, priced me out of material and raided my paid for pension three times in my lifetime. Immigrants have saved my life, cared for relatives, fed me and served communities in their stores.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
