Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.

A couple weeks ago a well meaning colleague of mine told me "If you don't put yourself in uncomfortable situations you'll never learn" and I have been seething in autistic ever since.
What this means, I gather, is something like "take advantage of chosen, purposeful, supported challenges"

BREAKING: NYT reporting that Trump has just fired 8 immigration judges in New York City who worked at 26 Federal Plaza. That's NYC ICE HQ.
In the city that declares "give us your tired your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free," Trump shuts down due process for immigrants. This is fascism.
