I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Send Terry a 4-figure donation, right now.
Landlords called while I was at work. I ignored the call but just seeing the number on the phone caused enough anxiety that I hid in the bathroom for 10+ minutes to calm down. Home now, I still need to listen to the message but I'm going to try to unclench first.

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

Look at the Trumpers, particularly the Nazis amongst them. They correctly understand they are besieged by fancy-gendered commie traitors who think racism is bad and common decency is good. They are very well aware they’ve got this window to destroy as much as they can, and then they are finished.

250 000 is also a low estimate considering the city and adjoining refugee camps held at least 800 000 & up to 1 500 000 people before fall of Zam Zam refugee camp.

El Fasher is a larger version of Srebrenica even in the 'best scenario', a modern version of Nanjing in 1937.

Previously, the lab estimated about 250,000 people were still in El-Fasher when the RSF captured the city. Roughly 30,000-60,000 are believed to have escaped to Twila or Gernney, leaving close to 200,000 trapped inside the kill zone. Satellite imagery shows no civilian movement, market activity...

If they're making it harder for nurses to afford graduate degrees and have already made it harder for nursing professionals to come to the US to work under visas, then who do they think will work the hospitals, the nursing homes, the outpatient clinics, the community health programs, etc?

Who?

Ok, biggest problem I have with this so far - they utterly whitewash slavery. Nothing on its brutality, the rape culture, the violence endemic to it, how chattel slavery warped societies by turning them fearful and insular etc

Instead they’re basically like “hey, enslaved ppl could learn to read!”
