Showed up to my delivery job in an n95, boss is only "are you sick? Should you go home?" Feeling the love on that front, plus the mask was super effective against the smoke on the air!

My town of<10000 is having a "no kings" march on Saturday. I won't be around unfortunately, but the last public protest we had was a scary number of trucks interrupting a city council meeting just after Jan 6

a fairly deeply held belief of mine is that Americans want immigration to work the way they think it already does: you can get in legally if you’re patient on a reasonable timescale, and if you’re here long enough to put down community roots you shouldn’t get kicked out regardless

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will also be at the [FIFA Club World Cup] games. ICE told us they would be there as part of the security team, but they also included a reminder that all non-American citizens need to carry proof of their legal status.”

I'd have put the update at the top, but whatev. This isn't enough for some folks but it's better than I've heard from anywhere else that's implementing AI that doesn't need it I'm conditionally ok with it

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

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.

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

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.
