A permanent resident? Meaning someone with a 10 year green card? oh it's fascism o'clock 24/7

Green cards are not visas and cannot be revoked on the spot. They are now on the record going after legal residents, one inch closer to open season on citizens.

Relatedly, the J-1 foreign residence requirement should apply even if Fulbrights' funding stops, but if funding were clawed back, I think that's an argument it doesn't. We've never had to think about it before, because unsurprisingly a program about international comity was administered amicably.

a recurrent tweet of mine: having papers won't save you

fun fact, the last time the US had a national origins system for immigration (the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924) it was so racist Adolf Hitler envied it

This is not just a terrible escalation. It is an autocratic regime testing the tech they will use against all of us.

+ For anyone who wants to learn more about the horrible ramifications of the Laken Riley Act and the criminalization of migrants, read this roundup to get started: bit.ly/IC-TMIC1 (Key points also available on IG, if that’s more your thing, here: www.instagram.com/p/DGf7FkNORa...)

"If we throw minorities under the bus, Republicans will stop calling us too woke" is the same logic that got us Clinton's welfare cuts and Obama's immigration crackdowns. You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem.

Frowning while at the Brownshirt rally I’m attending so that people know I disagree with it

as a seasoned wedding planner - make it easy for people to RSVP. EASY!

“tHeY cAnT dO tHat!!!!!” ok well they are babe, idk what to tell you

NEW: Biden Admin’s attempted reforms of DHS’s domestic intelligence agency instead laid the groundwork for greater Trump Admin abuse. It’s a story of political targeting, CIA hires, the failure to learn critical lessons, and bureaucratic half-measures. 1/ www.justsecurity.org/108152/how-d...

they could have given an award to ralph fiennes in the time it took andrien brody to finish that speech

Hey here’s a tip: no account that claims to be an “alt” or “undercover” or whatever version of a federal department is real

I can't imagine being told your barely sufficient stipend is now on hold. nightmare scenario you can't even escape because you don't have money for a ticket home

fucking hell

they will come for you they are already coming for you. think of mixed status families with US citizens also having their rights violated now

**Major** update to this story, and something I'll continue reporting on through the weekend: 🚨 The new acting IRS commissioner has indicated she plans to comply with DHS's request for the addresses of 700,000 suspected undocumented immigrants. 🚨 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

ffs

thank you to all the people that kept immigration news going thru the last years! It despises me to see people tuning it out 20-24 because it wasn't orange man doing bad things.

Make no mistake: Trump's latest Executive Order is an intimidation tactic targeting immigrant communities & service providers who receive federal funding. Here are 5 things you should know about it ⤵️ www.nilc.org/articles/fiv...

he's wearing a hat all the time because he got his third hair implant / gender affirming care, isn't he?

International students dependent on stipends to continue an active visa status are also on the very front lines of this mess

We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle. We set up a concentration camp for asylum seekers in the Panama jungle.

I participate in an economic boycott every day. It's called being broke.

like I get it this is bad but holy fuck the last round of free tests were already a year past best by date and even with an extension were valid for 3-4 months. couldn't biden sent them 1 earlier 2 more often?? ffs

amen. no one needs to waste energy consoling someone who is simply reading headlines for a living without no further action. in particular if your headline reading is the only way you are touched by said bad news.

honestly these converted catholics need to go, i can't keep seeing people telling the pope is wrong. protestantism is right there!!

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Infections and outbreaks are on my radar for many reasons but I wanna point out the narrative of TB being brought by migrants into the US - people already have biases about this and the latest outbreak is ripe for these stories

Measles can also make your immune system forget previous vaccinations and/or infections, creating a clean slate for other diseases to attack your body www.sciencenews.org/article/meas...

this whole thread is great and this is something I am trying to teach people around me as someone that just had that built in upbringing of dropping everything to help the two blocks down neighbor.

they could be mad at the people doing the coup for starters

Many ways you can help immigrant communities now!

The deep sea nerd in me is SUPER excited about this. (originally posted on TikTok/IG by jara.natura) Their caption stated this was a live adult black devil fish in broad daylight off the coast of Tenerife. It is normally found on the seafloor between 200 and 2000m deep.

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
