Hey #AltFam, what's your vote? Holding an AMA is traditional when Alt accounts hit 1,000 followers, but during my initial flurry that slid by without one. I'm sneaking up on 30k followers. Is THAT the time for my first AMA? @alt_jabroni, @RogueEPAstaff, @USGS_Rocks, @AltWASONPS?

Ok, I crossed 30k, so I *officially* owe everyone my first AMA! I have a crazy couple weeks of travel ahead of me, though, (which I’m already on) so I may have to look ahead to find a day I can really do it justice. I’ll make sure I let you know when it’ll be in advance!
[Thread] I'd like to celebrate the announcement of the official impeachment inquiry by pulling out the first thread I ever posted in August, 2017, and adding a few behind-the-scenes anecdotes for your entertainment. I stand by every word of that thread today

I had decided I wanted to join the growing movement, and the day I saw @AngrierWHStaff and @DeepStateRogue got added to the verified AltGov list, I reached out to them to introduce myself and ask what the process was
If the Flores Settlement Agreement laid out a state licensing authority over immigrant detention facilities, can someone please explain how Texas etal can't pull licensing because these centers aren't meeting state level standards for housing and care of children????

This 1997(!!) agreement requires INS to put minors in the "least restrictive setting" appropriate to children's age and needs, contact with family members, notice of rights, safe & sanitary facilities, toilets, sinks, food, water, medical assistance, temperature control..

Also this agreement MANDATES policy favoring release to a parent, adult family member, legal guardian, or a licensed program.... prompt continuous efforts towards family reunification & release!
