Please. On behalf of the entire immigrant community, but also myself and every member of our staff. There is nothing Trump could do that is worse than what these rumors are doing

My local Reddit groups have been absolute inundated with these kinds of posts & messages. Spreading fear, panic & paranoia 😞

necrowizard.bsky.social•28 days ago

Praying for a solar flare to take out the entire American internet at this point

matt we need a like verified immigration portal we can send people to when/if we see something like this, "if it ain't here it ain't legit" type deal.

Is there something like that? I can't leverage immigration attorney experience cred lol

I am leaning on the side of there being no rapid response solution on the public internet which will do anything but make it worse. I am so exhausted by this. Dozens of emails, hundreds of calls

That sucks man, I can't even imagine. I am sure the feeling of helplessness doesn't help either.

I will put my internet browbeating skills to work if I see anything in my circles.

Put out an alert here or on the OA patreon if there's anything specific we keyboard warriors can help with

(this was an internal teams message in our office. I have since heard the audio for myself and would like to have some words with whoever thought that was a helpful thing to do)

People are staying home, skipping work, living in terror. Imagine believing all day that a federal agent could be anywhere you go. We need to educate people on how ICE actually operates bc I need some sleep

this is going to sound trite but it is true and my reaction to reading a few of these posts:

don't forget to put your own oxygen mask on first matt, or soon you won't be able to help anyone.

As much as I look forward to OA please do what you need to do in order to be well this week. We can wait!

There are no more ICE officers today than there were when Joe Bien set the 10-year mass deportation record (previously held by Barack Obama) a couple of months ago. Just a lot more headlines.

Weren’t the priorities of who got deported different though? Although they did send quite a few back to Haiti which seemed just nuts. Sorry I know you are tired.
