In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

Time to delete TikTok if you haven’t! They’re asking specifically for immigrant status and transgender or nonbinary status, which should make people nervous about where we are heading

I cried so many times today.
Thinking about striking Minnesota, the violence they’re facing, we’re all facing.
Seeing all the Palestinian flags & how people finally see the connections.
Seeing workers in shop windows, nail salons, shops, cheer us on.
Hope in the horror.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

🇺🇸 Temperatures in the upper-midwest were well below zero today, but the people in Minnesota braved the frigid cold, and showed up to fight for ALL OF US.
🇺🇸 I hear a lot of people saying we aren't doing enough to fight Trump's fascism. Well, go tell that to the patriots in Minnesota.

I'm not saying Air Force One didn't have a "minor electrical issue" that forced it to turn around, but I am saying that would be unprecedented for a highly advanced piece of machinery that's supposedly equipped to be a flying command-and-control center during a nuclear war. Odd.
