Trinity Rodman spoke with press at Spirit training!

Talked about her recovery, said Spirit trusted her a lot in process, & she’s been pain-free for a couple months.

Said she had been “trying to gaslight herself” about the pain but now recognizes the difference.

If you are surprised that HUGE majorities of americans favored a path to citizenship during the biden admin, ask where you got your news.

Because while the “popularists” were demanding we get to the right of trump

The actually popular position is pro-immigrant

“Almost 9 in 10 U.S. adults, 85%, favor a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and nearly as many say they favor a path to citizenship for all immigrants in the country illegally as long as they meet certain requirements.”

How US views of immigration have changed since Trump took office, according to Gallup polling A Gallup poll shows a substantial jump in the share of Americans who view immigration as positive for the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office.

About 8 in 10 Americans, 79%, say immigration is “a good thing” for the country today, an increase from 64% a year ago and a high point in the nearly 25-year trend. Only about 2 in 10 U.S. adults say immigration is a bad thing right now, down from 32% last year.

Jobs Report Casts Warning On Immigration And Labor Force Declines The latest jobs report warns U.S. policymakers that immigration and labor force declines threaten to harm the American economy.

Trump immigration policy contributing to a falling labor supply that will harm U.S. economic growth. Since January 2025, immigrant workers have declined and the total seasonally adjusted labor force shows a decrease of 364,000. @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

Attorneys Say They Can’t See Immigration Clients At Alligator Alcatraz Immigration attorneys say they have been unable to see their clients sent to the Alligator Alcatraz detention facility in Florida.

Trump Immigration Order Could Cost Americans $3,000 Per Baby Ending birthright citizenship would be chaotic and costly for many Americans due to new fees, paperwork requirements and other issues.

“Ending birthright citizenship would be chaotic and costly for many Americans.” With the Supreme Court ruling, the Trump admin should publicize the unpopular govt. procedures for verifying every newborn is a US citizen at birth. @douglasrivlin.bsky.social @nilc.org‬

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor.

No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state.

📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.

It’s the way his voice broke when he said “imagine what they’re doing to farmworkers” 😣😣

As the granddaughter of migrant farmworkers and an immigration expert, I have this exact fear. They’re kidnapping and abusing our loved ones. How else are we expected to respond?

Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov

Reporters often get it wrong.

1) What he is doing is not in fact very popular.

Stephen Miller’s Order Likely Sparked Immigration Arrests And Protests Orders to federal agents to increase the arrests of people without criminal convictions likely sparked immigration arrests and protests.

“Stephen Miller’s orders to arrest more people without criminal convictions likely sparked the immigration arrests that ignited protests in Los Angeles.” In a meeting, he yelled at ICE officials, “Why aren’t you at Home Depot?” @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social

Exactly. Dems should jump on cases like this and elevate the sympathetic victims of Trump policies. Tell their stories!

Very affecting. Talked with my students about it today.

Economic self-inflicted wound by Trump and Miller.

The GOP opposition to legal immigration and visas is costing you and the rest of us a lot of jobs and income. $$$

Immigration Research Shows Stephen Miller Wrong About American Science Stephen Miller, the chief architect of Trump immigration policy, argues that American scientific achievement owes little to immigrants.

Stephen Miller said American science in the post-war period owes little to immigrants. To the contrary, between 1945 and 1974, 16 of the 30 U.S. winners of the Nobel Prize in physics were immigrants. @mclem.org @douglasrivlin.bsky.social @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

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.

Let’s get straight. Immigration is an administrative process. Zip-tying children who are no threat for a non-criminal matter is so completely wrong, as I was someone who represented A LOT OF KIDS over the years…

Contributor: Ending birthright citizenship will mostly affect U.S. citizens Individuals born in the United States will struggle to prove their own citizenship and their children's.

US citizenship (for Americans born in the US is on the brink of becoming a privilege rather than a right, bestowed on those who can afford protracted bureaucratic struggles. Most of the burden will fall on those who least expected it: US citizen parents themselves. www.yahoo.com/news/contrib...

The Afrikaners who’ve recently immigrated to the US w/in just a few months proves we can make the immigration process much more quick & easy if we wanted to. Trump wants to make the process as long & difficult as possible—for black & brown skinned people.

Opinion | This is what happens when we have a morally lost president What’s needed more than anything at this moment is to make the country moral again.

Outrageous but true:
"It’s hard to see this refugee policy, and the exception for Afrikaners, as anything but an assertion of white supremacy." @danamilbank.bsky.social
