National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

DHS to Begin Screening Aliens’ Social Media Activity for Antisemitism | USCIS Today U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying imm...

BREAKING: The Trump administration will begin screening immigrants’ social media for “antisemitism.”

This will NOT fight antisemitism.

This is simply using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.

We refuse to be used this way.

En tiempos de incertidumbre, esperamos ser una antorcha en la vanguardia, iluminando el camino hacia una forma de relacionarnos más segura y plena. En solidaridad, co-directores Amerika Garcia Grewal y Ari Sawyer, la Coordinadora de Programas de Salud Comunitaria Ana Guardiola 6/

Cuando los sistemas gubernamentales nos fallan y ponen en riesgo nuestras vidas y nuestra salud, debemos apoyarnos entre nosotrxs para crear estructuras horizontales de apoyo. Y debemos exigir responsabilidad al gobierno. 5/

Trabajando con trabajadores sociales, profesionales de la salud, docentes, abogados, defensores de derechos humanos y muchas otras personas que conforman el tejido de la fronteriza, estamos ayudando crear una red de apoyo mutuo que atraviese la frontera entre EE.UU. y México. 4/

Pero las comunidades fronterizas son vibrantes, resilientes e interseccionales. Y nos estamos organizando. Ayer marcamos el lanzamiento oficial de la Frontera Federation, con sede en Eagle Pass, TX, que no es solo una ONG, sino un movimiento para defender la seguridad humana. 3/

En lugar de invertir en empleo sostenible, salud pública, educación o seguridad comunitaria, los políticos y las corporaciones de seguridad privada han colaborado para lucrar a costa de poner en peligro a las mismas personas que aseguran proteger. 2/

Por mucho tiempo, los residentes fronterizos y las personas en mobilidad han sido víctimas de una vigilancia excesiva y militarización letal y abusiva en la frontera entre México y EE.UU. 1/

In a time of unprecedented uncertainty, we hope to be a vanguard torch, lighting the way toward a safer, more fulfilling way of relating with one another. In solidarity, Co-directors Amerika Garcia Grewal and Ari Sawyer, Community Health Programs Coordinator Ana Guardiola, and 6/

When government systems fail us and put our lives and health at risk, we must look to one another to create horizontal structures of support. And we must hold the government accountable. 5/

By working at a grassroots level with social workers, healthcare professionals, teachers, lawyers, human rights workers, and many others who make up the fabric of border communities, we are weaving a network of mutual support across the US-MX border. 4/

But border communities are vibrant, resilient, and intersectional. And we are organizing. Today, we mark the official launch of the Frontera Federation, based in Eagle Pass, TX – not only an NGO, but a movement to defend *human* security. 3/

Rather than investing in sustainable work, public health, education, or community safety, politicians and private security corporations have worked together to profit from endangering the very people they claim to protect. 2/

Happy Birthday to Us, a thread: For too long, border residents and border crossers alike have been plagued by deadly and abusive over-policing and militarization. 1/
