The right to leave your place of residence is in the Treaty of Westphalia. It's the first civil right explicitly granted to Germans.

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE. The Matrix is older than ICE. Legally Blonde is older than ICE. We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach. Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Fun thread, but every time I'm reminded of this fact it boggles my mind. Almost all my ancestors arrived in the US before there were any immigration laws

I ran a forklift into a roof support once, but I didn't run over any of the maze of things I was trying to pick my way thru 🤦‍♂️ It was shortly after the tornado and nobody was at their best

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Whenever I try and raise awareness of the risk disabled people face when detained by ICE, I’m met with a chorus of voices asking “were they illegal?” Here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter if they’re here legally or not No human being should be made to suffer this way 🧵

even though LA is a sexy news story, neighbors have been protecting neighbors across the country all year and they will continue to. You have a community right outside your door. Care for it.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I'm sorry but this is hilarious there is a blue dinosaur bumbling around in front of the National Guard at the LA "riots." Absolutely humiliate these fuckers please. Come and play the tuba.

Took the canoe out for a quick shake out this afternoon. I think we were on the water less than half an hour before we called it for weather, but we've broken the mental seal for the season Even tho it was windy and barely enough to remember how to paddle, it felt good

Eric Berne said, “The basic existential position of human beings is ‘I am blameless.’” ANY way you call people out for bad behavior will piss them off: the worse they know (or suspect) their behavior to have been, the worse being called out will piss them off. There’s no avoiding it. So PREPARE. 😓

A new large‐scale genome study of 139 Indigenous groups reveals that humans were living in southern South America by at least 14,500 years ago—far earlier than previously thought—and identifies multiple population splits that contributed to the region’s genetic diversity and subsequent losses.

If you think you recognize or know a protester in a picture, just remember — no, you don’t. And as always: shut the fuck up. youtu.be/nWEpW6KOZDs

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
