🚨FEMA is reassigning employees to work for ICE.

It’s despicable that during hurricane season and historic floods, Trump’s DHS would force FEMA employees to abandon that critical work to carry out the admin’s mass detention and deportation agenda. This moment warrants a national outcry.

She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment. Now come on now.

Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics simply because he didn’t like the data. A hallmark of authoritarian leadership is being unable to accept reality and taking that out on people simply doing their jobs. 

How Trump Made One of the Most Controversial Post-9/11 Policies the New Normal Thousands of other people are going to get put into detention of indeterminate length with far less recourse, which could stretch years.

For @slate.com, I wrote about one dimension of the totalizing Trump/Miller immigration crackdown that's not getting enough notice, which is that they're moving to make indefinite detention — with no release dates and few options to get out — a norm

I think this minimizes what he and his family will have to go through. The result is not guaranteed given the mass firings of decent judges, and he will be detained for months if not longer while he waits. If he wins, DHS will likely appeal.

Yes, existing law enabled this to happen and that must change. But under prior admins, he likely would have been given deferred inspection rather than held incommunicado at the airport

just need to say this, and maybe you can relate: way too much of my mental overhead recently has been devoted to a questionably healthy amount of numbing myself to what is happening in front of me while trying to stave off the feeling that it is all about to get a lot worse for everyone

Mass Deportation Agenda Taking a Toll on Military Morale, Military Families and Veterans - America's Voice Washington, DC — A U.S. citizen and Marine veteran ripped out of his car by ICE. A father of three Marines violently assaulted and detained. Militarized raids in communities across the country. And no...

No one is safe from the mass deportation dragnet.

Just petty BS: One volunteer escorting an immigrant got onto a courthouse elevator. Two ICE agents got in with them and “proceeded to push every single elevator button” and say, “‘We’ll just go for a little ride.'”

You can’t be detained in— or honestly even visit— immigration prison without it changing you.

Florida tribe joins the fight against "Alligator Alcatraz" The Miccosukee, who live n the Everglades, said authorities didn't do an environmental review.

“We are going to make sure that we fight this facility on whatever front is available to us,” said William “Popeye” James Osecola, the secretary of the Miccosukee tribal council.

thank you! would you be willing to give a training to the California rapid response networks on this?

the enforced disappearance framing is apt - i’m wondering what people can expect after making the report to convince them to do it in the first place!

are individual remedies from WGEID possible? can you report even if the person is ‘found’ a few days later?

“this is us! this is our city!” yes, love this

again: regular people showing 10x more bravery than almost every single elected representative in congress

Here are the leaders... people like this person.

Let's be clear that this will be deployed not just against immigrants, but against anyone seen as providing support to immigrants.

Illegal support at first, but the definition will inevitably expand to include indirect support, mutual aid, and eventually even rhetorical support.

THIS. In Sale v Haitian Centers Council, SCOTUS ruled 8-1 that the government can refuse to provide asylum processing to people they detain offshore and held in Guantanamo. Other Global North countries have cited to this logic-defying decision to to justify their own anti-refugee policies. Thread

Every bad policy that we think will be limited to hurting some other group can be used as what Shachar calls “regressive precedent” against other groups in the future. That’s why we have to fight for everyone’s rights to protect our own.

The point of this thread is to show that the worst ways that we treat the most vulnerable will eventually come spread and come for us all. You should care about Haitians, because they are human. But you should also care because justifying these policies against Black immigrants puts us all at risk.

Rapid response teams are multiplying all over the country. You’re asked to show up when there’s an ICE presence locally. Also, many undocumented people will be afraid to leave their houses unless absolutely necessary. Mutual aid networks will need to expand to help get them things like groceries

What unites countries under Trump’s travel ban is American imperialism US’s cruel escalation of policy puts misplaced target on vulnerable nations such as Afghanistan and Sudan

Important piece by @hebagowayed.bsky.social: “It is not the people of these nations that are a threat to the security of the United States. It is the United States that has long been a threat to them (…). We should be atoning for our sins, not exacerbating them.”
