A Cuban man jailed in Wyoming has now been deported to a country he barely knows. His journey shows how complicated and painful the deportation process can be, especially for people with long U.S. ties.

US Citizenship and Immigration Services is indefinitely halting all immigration requests involving Afghan refugees.

They are pretending that they are doing this in response to today's shooting in DC—but in fact, they ordered this *before* the shooting.

They create crises, then capitalize on them.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

This week's raid in St. Paul is part of a recent uptick in ICE assaults in the Twin Cities.

As long as ICE exists, it will be a weapon serving any aspiring autocrat who aims to consolidate power.

Abolish ICE, the police, and the authoritarianism they exist to preserve.

When Fascist Italy's occupation of Ethiopia was eventually accepted by the League of Nations in 1936, Alfred Nemours (Haiti) reprimanded the world: “great or small, strong or weak, near or far, white or coloured, let us never forget that one day we may be somebody’s Ethiopia.” #UkrainePeaceTalks

Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz uses “United States Americans” in her book(s) which are absolutely foundational and required reading.
I understand the reasons some non-Americans have for using this, but this post is correct — you’ll be immediately ignored here if you use it.

If I wrote a post referring to “UKians” all the people living there would ignore me too, and rightly so.
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Some of you are real treasures and I hope you know that.
❤️
You like what you like.
You enjoy life's pleasures while you can, knowing you're not entitled to any of it.
You don't need to brag.
You know life isn't a merit system. (If anything, the worst people have the most.)
I ❤️ you humble freaks.

Did people forget this is the military invading cities for Fascism? The eulogizing is obscene as much as it unserious, and I guarantee the Fascists are looking for a gauge on reactions in society. They are looking for what sticks, resilience testing.

“to this day, they and others have no room at all for serious examination of the role of the press in the racist nightmare that shaped her life—much less for any discussion of what they’re doing to prevent such a nightmare’s recurrence—beyond, that is, preparing sad obituaries for the victims.”

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.
