"The lawmaker I spoke with asked that I not publish his name. He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection. His fear of speaking out is much more personal: “I’d rather my house not get firebombed,” he told me by phone."

U.S. immigration law started with laws explicitly & entirely designed to discriminate against & exclude arrivals from specific countries. Which is to say, federal immigration policy has from its outset been about defining certain communities as "illegal."

Thanksgiving is a rightly fraught holiday for us AmericanStudiers, but I also have a ton I’m thankful for. So this year I wanted to combine those perspectives by blogging about indigenous voices, past & present, for whose contributions to our collective conversations I’m profoundly appreciative! 🗃️ +

This #Thanksgiving, you could have a calm & peaceful holiday & avoid politics altogether.
I'm sure that's what the majority of folks did in Nazi, Germany.
Or you can educate your family as to what's going on so they can't claim ignorance.
Talk about #ICELawlessness.
It doesn't have to be hostile.

Trump's week:
- Historic Congressional repudiation on Epstein files cover up
- Sells out Ukraine and our allies to Putin
- Positions enormous invasion force outside Venezuela
- Calls for hanging of Dem lawmakers
- Celebrates MBS
- Crushes on Mamdani, FDR
He's unstable, corrupt, and deeply dangerous.
