Paging Rachel Burchfield and InStyle Magazine. Is this really your headline in 2025, talking about a 13 year-old? Are you really continuing to help POTUS + some depraved ppl in his party further normalize their sexual behavior with KIDS?

Words matter. Do MUCH better.
A headline from in style magazine says “Blue Ivy Carter is all grown up and the spitting image of Beyoncé.” it shows a picture of the mom and daughter together.

This is what Ohio Immigrant Alliance t-shirts look like on real people, me and my Aunt Sally @sallythompson.bsky.social!

Get your very own at bit.ly/OIAshirt. We also have belt bags, water bottles, and yard signs. Artwork by Cincinnati high school student Shema Asifiwe.
Two white women. One wears a blue t-shirt with a drawing of people and one wears a green long sleeved t-shirt with a different drawing of people.

Migration is human — an act of bravery + love. So why does the U.S. make it deadly? 😔

Read + listen to Souleye Ball’s spoken word piece, “Dark Journey."

We need an immigration system rooted in safety + human dignity. #BraveOfUS 🫂❤️ www.ohioimmigrant.org/blog/2025/11... @braveofus.bsky.social
Against a dark green background, white words say “People are not born migrants. They become migrants due to circumstance.” The logos of Ohio Immigrant Alliance and Brave of US appear, alongside a Black man with a white African dress and a stocking hat holding a microphone.

Migration is as old as time, an act of bravery + ❤️. But US immig policy makes it deadly, not safe. Souleye Ball’s spoken word “Dark Journey” is about perilous “Bottom Route” from Africa to US. 📖/👂👀 #MigrationIsHuman #BraveOfUS @braveofus.bsky.social www.ohioimmigrant.org/blog/2025/11...
Against a navy background, yellow words say "Migration is as old as time," followed by additional copy. The logos of Ohio Immigrant Alliance and Brave of US appear, alongside a Black man with a white African dress and stocking hat holding a microphone.

It's 2025, not 1925. Fred Dailey, Knox Co. GOP: “We like Mexican food + we like to visit restaurants. We’re not going to sell out our birthright for a bean burrito.” www.rawstory.com/ohio-immigra...

See Ch. 19, "Writing Racism Into Immigration Law," www.reunite.us/read
An excerpt from the book "Broken Hope" quotes the research of Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Mae Ngai, and Ingrid Eagly, who describe how 20th century Nativists and business interests worked with Congress to craft the illegal entry/reentry laws in US immigration code as a way to exert control over Mexican people whose work was desired in the US -- but not their settlement, intermarriage, or future children.

At the Ohio Immigrant Alliance Family Reunion we had all kinds of heroes: www.instagram.com/p/DRKP1CFkYl...

OHIO IS HOME. It doesn't matter where you were born. Politicians who want ppl to hate immigrants only care about themselves, not creating a healthy society. Don't fall for it. #OhioIsHome

How did everyone miss this?

Max Miller’s scary Cleveland / call in the National Guard PR stunt was about sealing the deal for the Browns moving to Brook Park, which IS in his district.

We all missed the obvious self-serving nature of his attack on #CLE ? #NationalGuardMisuse

Clv Hts: only mayoral candidate to make legal rep for immigrants a Day 1 priority is Petras. Only council candidate to make it a Day 1 priority is Mattox, Jr. Other candidates who support are Russell, Dew, DeWitt-Foy. The others lack leadership. You know what to do! #Vote #Nov4
Against a green background, candidates for Cleveland Heights mayor and council are pictured along with their stances on an immigrant rights proposal. Against a red background, the same.

If the Democratic Party listens to consultants + only competes for likely voters, it will be a minority party. This elitist attitude, that non-voters are “selfish + lazy,” has doomed progressive policies in a 2 party system. It is why the D party of today has become a moderate-right party.
A thread between the author and other person who disagree about whether non-voters are selfish and lazy.

We reduce crime by investing in our communities, not pitting people against each other.

Also -- rural + suburban areas have their own crime problems. Violence against women, children, + elderly. Suicide + gun violence. Miller should work on problems closer to home. thelandcle.org/stories/rep-...
Dark navy background with some white lines. There are quotes in white and pink.

I'm published in @thelandcle.bsky.social today talking about about Rep. Max Miller's dangerous, political, anti-Ohio call to deploy the National Guard in #CLE. If he wants to combat crime in Ohio, he should start much closer to home. thelandcle.org/stories/rep-...
A yellow quotation mark appears above a quote. There is a woman facing the left with a face mask on her chin. She is holding a sign that is folded because of the wind.
