It was an honor to give a keynote speech welcoming new US citizens at a naturalization ceremony on the 4th of July in #Charlotte last week. My message? Immigrants (not the Dec of Independence or “nation” or the Statue of Liberty or so-called golden door) are a beacon and what make America great

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

Read this opening.

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY.

None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened.

Read the story below.

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Agents zip-tie kids in new immigration crackdown in Texas At least three children were taken into custody and zip-tied at the San Antonio Immigration Court.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed.

More executive orders on immigration. (Sorry!)

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Budget airline Avelo to fly deportation flights for ICE from Arizona Budget carrier Avelo Airlines says it has signed an agreement to fly deportation flights from Arizona starting in May

If you ever have the opportunity to fly Avelo Airlines—don’t.

Horrific; also CBP have been murderers by design and by neglect for decades

It’s time

Yesterday, Palestinians located the bodies of 15 aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza. One week after two ambulances were directly shot at by the Israeli military, the bodies of these Red Crescent workers were finally found handcuffed and crushed under their ambulances, concealed in a mass grave.

Statement on Palestine, Genocide, and Repression The Department of American Indian Studies issues a statement in support of Palestine.

Yesterday, the U of Minnesota deleted the American Indian Studies’ statement on Palestine. (Also deleted was a story about Leonard Peltier’s return home and five other dept statements on Palestine.) Our expertise matters if we don’t oppose genocide. web.archive.org/web/20250322...

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

Flown on illegal transports last weekend. Found on list leaked Thurs.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

In the 1920s (Jewish) cousins of my great-grandparents were deported during the Red Scare. Under the same legal theory now used against a Palestinian. And now the ADL applauds.

Shame on the ADL.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.
