New horrors keep coming every day out of Congo. I wish more people would pay attention. These people are facing a genocide for the minerals in their land.

Friends please stop saying immigrants are treated poorly because they are “seen as criminals” as tho if they were “criminals” it would justify torture or no medical care or food. The violence we acquiesced to is what got us here. High time we recognize NO human deserves to be treated this way.

The idea that enhancing surveillance in academic buildings will protect students from mass shootings is absolutely fucking preposterous. What it will increase is the criminalization of our students. Reject it!!!

Even though there’s a cease fire in place it appears at around 40 Palestinians per day are being killed by Israeli troops in Gaza. Just saying.

Now I have to find a clinic or pro bono lawyer to take the case because filling out the long and complicated form is no longer sufficient. The bureaucratic killing of people has long been part of this country but this moment is really taking it to new heights.

I’m so frustrated. I’m trying to help a Haitian man file an asylum claim as tps is being terminated. I jsut spoke to a lawyer friend to look over the claim — she informed me that asylum is so much harder to submit now & requires more documentation to not just be rejected on its face.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Israel allowing exists from Gaza but no reentry is ethnic cleansing & history repeating. It’s the script of the Nakba — massacre people & then leave them with the awful decision between their children’s lives & their land and then lie that those who chose the former voluntarily departed.
So sick.

I don't want to talk about World AIDS Day because I don't want to talk about the person I lost because I don't want to deal with the fact that he is gone and didn't get to teach me to use the cameras he gave me or be one of the people I came out to

They focus so much on the "cause" in the same way they do on trans youth. That if there's some cause they can identify, they can eliminate that population by preventing it. It's eugenics disguised as concern trolling.

It's what they did with trans youth. They centered the perspectives of certain doctors and parents rather than the youth at issue themselves. Then they do the "just asking questions" bit that launders terrible dehumanizing rhetoric and undermines their dignity and rights.

That's what this is about. They spoke a lot to the parents of autistic children but almost never to the children themselves. It centers the perspectives of allistic people instead. They absolve themselves of this problem by focusing on high needs autistic children they claim they can't speak with.

Why would you include this? Why would you allude to the completely disproven link of vaccines to autism? This is absolutely irresponsible to reinforce that link like this. Not to mention, focusing so much on the cause and genetics of autism like it's a disease that needs curing. It's eugenics.

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

It's actually not that hard to tell the difference between "anti-Blackness exists among non-Black POC" and "non-Black POC are functionally white"
One is true and one is unhinged
Of course, anti-Blackness is a problem among Black folks too so

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
