1) ICE enforcement blitzes 2) Federal funding freeze 3) Tariff wars 3 surefire ways to tank our economy.

QUE HACER SI SE ENCUENTRA CON LA MIGRA: MantƩn la calma. Recuerda sus derechos. Y no se deje ganar el miedo.

The LA fires walking my dog in Hollywood just now

šŸšØ Contact your Senators urging them to vote ā€œNOā€ on the "Laken Riley Act" before Friday 1/10. Laken Rileyā€™s death was a tragedy. But we cannot let this be used as a reason to attack immigrants and strip away their due process rights. šŸ§µā¬‡ļø

Husband and I were WFH approx a mile from the Capitol (NoMa). Honestly donā€™t remember the work day bc of the blaring sirens going down North Cap and CNN on our TV all day. Didnā€™t go outside bc our apt bldg is surrounded by several hotels filled by insurrectionists.

Tonightā€™s dinner was pozole by @sueqhaslett.bsky.social, which was a new treat for my Venezuelan family. Naturally, I took the opportunity to show everyone @padilla.senate.govā€™s video on how to properly roll a tortilla. Everyone was extremely impressed. youtube.com/shorts/pwk9y...

SEPARATED is now available to stream on demand. Academy AwardĀ®-winning filmmaker Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in American history. Watch now.

While this is great from PHX Mayor Kate Gallegoā€”Maricopa County voters also elected Jerry Sheridan, who came up through the ranks under Sheriff Joe. His website reads like a love letter to him, esp his platform City of Phoenix pop: 1.6 M Maricopa County (AKA greater PHX metro area) pop: 4.6 M

I feel this in my bones. People want to act like we have always had the concept of nation-states (solidified only roughly 150 yrs ago) and forget that for 1000s of years before humans literally roamed across this earth.

Trumpā€™s reported plan to allow mass deportation raids inside churches is ā€œcertainly is an infringement on religious freedom and will deter immigrant families from attending Mass and receiving the sacraments:ā€ www.americamagazine.org/politics-soc...

Maybe itā€™s my elder millennial showing but cellphones were banned back in my jr high and HS days circa 2001-2007. When/how did this change?! (Extra choc shake and fries to those who still have their phone # from way back then)

Happening tonight ā€” Iā€™ve had the honor to be able to help support many families this season who were forcibly separated by this policy. This film is a stark reminder about what could quickly transpire in a new Administration, in a potential broader dragnet of policies.

Iā€™m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.socialā€™s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. Heā€™s going to be great.

One of my proudest achievements in the COVID era

Letā€™s not forget libertarian fan fave Ron Paul was a *checks notes* OBGYN

Please follow @immdef.bsky.social ā€” we are a CA non-profit working throughout Southern CA providing deportation defense, community education and advocacy with our immigrant communities.

So I guess we are this part of late-stage capitalism where weā€™re looking back at stories from the 90s to bring comfort and escape from todayā€™s hellscape

Iā€™ve noticed as Iā€™m completing my departure off of Twitter that in the last 2-3 days alone itā€™s gotten so much more vitriolic, and I must say I think itā€™s turned many of our brains to mush that hopefully this site will help to mend.

In the vein of UBI might I suggest reparations for descendants of enslaved people and indigenous peoples. I would also add amdmts for establishing a separate impartial immigration court system (immi courts are still under DOJ) AND universal right & guarantee to representation for immi courts

Actually this feels like good hive mind stuff. Who wants to mark Tom-Homan-as-border-czar day by dropping in the replies local immigrant advocacy/support organizations near you?

I donā€™t know how to tell him that Homan, Miller, and Trump do not care about ā€œfairnessā€ when it comes to immigrants

Welcome new followers šŸ‘‹šŸ½ I post a lot about immigration because I come from an immigrant family and donā€™t believe in slamming shut the door behind me but also because immigration is good for the nation. I also post about cats, which I believe are also good for the nation. Meet my cat Juan Gabriel šŸ¾

"While still in charge of the Senate and the White House, we must do all we can to safeguard our democracy ā€¦ Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-yr legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulatorsā€”none of whom can be removed by the next president."

Hey! šŸ‘‹šŸ½ Iā€™m back. Is anyone still here or seeing this?
