Third-country deportations violate international human rights law and put lives at risk, but the Trump administration has made it a core tactic of its anti-immigrant agenda.

Use our form to contact your Senators now and urge them to hold Trump accountable for his third-country deportation program.

Stop Third Country Deportations - Stop AAPI Hate

The U.S. is deporting hundreds of immigrants to Central America and Africa — stranding vulnerable people in countries they have never been to — often without passports, phones, language access, and legal counsel.

Trump wants to rule like a king—eroding our democracy, terrorizing our communities, all while giving tax cuts to greedy corporations.—but we will not be silenced.

On Oct 18, union members and allies from all races and backgrounds will mobilize nationwide. Join us: https://seiu.co/OCT18 #NoKings

Hi everyone, I’ve been stress-eating chocolate, so I’m not sure how coherent this post will be. Besides the general state of the world, I also have my book launching next week with an in-person event ...

I hope you’ve got another card up your sleeve beyond whining at us about what he “should” do—because we’re getting our asses handed to us here and people are 🤬 dying.

Good questions here. @govpritzker.illinois.gov we look forward to seeing you WALK YOUR TALK.

Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social · 7d

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov why are Illinois state troopers acting as ICE’s security detail in Broadview? Your posts are inspiring but love to see some tangible action beyond your words urging us (citizens) to film ICE or whatever? Need you to back us up when when we do as you say. Call off the cops

A watch and

Do it in Russia and hit it
I’ll go with the key.

It’s a fork dish. No, no
It’s a soccer game
a whole brain hemorrhage.
