🧵: Activists in #Chicago have gotten the immigration court to close early twice this week through protesting!
Here’s what an immigration lawyer with knowledge of the legal system had to say about the real effects of these actions:

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

They told us how & why. It’s a direct penalty on American workers for the higher wages they demanded over the course of the 20th century.

The really scary part is that you don’t need the resources of a billionaire to topple the government. Just six engineers & implicit permission. This was not an expensive op.

HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻

‘We Have No Coherent Message’: Democrats Struggle to Oppose Trump (Gift Article) More than 50 interviews with Democratic leaders revealed a party struggling to decide what it believes in, what issues to prioritize and how to confront an aggressive right-wing administration.

I’m flabbergasted by the Democrats not understanding that the only message people want to hear now is “We will fight for you and we will help you fight.”

@altcdc.bsky.social Is there an organized effort to file FOIA requests for the data that has been taken down?

Not sure it’s really that unexamined. I’m starting to think many view it as a feature rather than a flaw.

I’m not even sure they’d nominate a doctor.

A rabbi once explained it to me as: Judaism prefers that you believe in G-d but only requires that you believe in not more than one god.

Dems, make your voice heard. Get in the habit of emailing and calling your elected officials about every issue you’re for or against. Whether your Senator/Rep is Democrat or Republican; they all keep score. Be counted. Try to set aside a few mins to do this every day. It’s easy and it’s effective.
