Faith leader Ayman Soliman also won his freedom from ICE detention. In further proof that immigration officials were in the wrong for targeting him, his attorney said he expected USCIS “to fully reinstate his client’s legal asylum status, which was officially terminated by the Trump admin …”👇🏽

“I’m overwhelmed with joy and relief,” said Alejandra, the wife of a #DACA recipient who was recently released from ICE custody. “Paulo belongs with our family, not in a detention center.”

That was when I knew “the movement” (as opposed to THE CAUSE) wasn’t interested in building a true coalition. They just wanted to fuck shit up.

I want to say one thing about the “watermelon people” quote from the Hitler Youth text leaks - WE SAID, “Hey, could you guys maybe not use watermelons as the emoji indicating support for Palestine, because it’s realllllly fraught imagery over here?”

And, we were told to sit down and shut up.

I didn’t know that lady had any kind of “documentary,” in the hopper until two minutes ago, and there was never any chance of me seeing it, even by accident.

Saw someone talking about boycotting Melania Trump’s documentary. In order for something to be a “boycott,” you have to be refraining from doing something you would OTHERWISE DO.

Meanwhile, that *microagression* is probably the fifth one they’ve experienced that day. Microaggressions can impact how you move through the world in every aspect.

OuterBoroPrincess @outerbororoyal.bsky.social · 5h

I wish some folks had never learned the term “microaggression,” because you act like it means *insignificant,* or small, or minimally impactful, when the point is we experience these things at HIGH VOLUME AND FREQUENCY.

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Rev. David Black, a Presbyterian minister, raised his hands in peaceful prayer when agents on the roof fired pepper balls at him, striking him in the head.

Rev. Black & other faith leaders have faced violence for nothing more than praying outside ICE detention centers.

Clergy Member Shot With Pepper Ball Outside ICE Facility Says He Could Hear Agents ‘Laughing’

Rev. David Black, who has since joined a lawsuit against the administration “alleging violations of the First and Fourth Amendments,” says he protests to let immigrants know “that they are not alone."

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a longtime activist for the Black trans and LGBTQ+ communities.

Her trailblazing work and legacy will always live on.

My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones.

“Monkeys”

But when we say white supremacy is thriving on the right, they call us reactionary…

Give me a break.

The future of the Republican Party proudly embraces bigotry that belongs in the past, and every American needs to recognize how dangerous that is.
