'All he’s seen of the United States is a jail cell, a detention facility': Gay Nigerian asylum seeker has been detained for 15 months. dailykos.com/stories/2018/6… #FreeUdoka
"In Adelanto, after Nweke’s plea for asylum was denied, he attempted suicide. Activists...have petitioned for Nweke’s release on parole so he can access lifesaving medical treatments. Otherwise, they fear Nweke’s condition will worsen." #FreeUdoka
Advocate Monica Glicken: “When a man tries to hang himself after his asylum is denied, I think that shows the level of fear he has about returning to his home country.” #FreeUdoka

"Border Patrol shoots and kills unarmed woman." It's federal immigration agents, not immigrants, who are the danger to public safety. americasvoice.org/press_releases…
Ur Jaddou, Director of DHS Watch, a project of @AmericasVoice: “It is outrageous that an unarmed, undoc women was shot in the head by an agent sworn to uphold law and justice. This incident must be thoroughly investigated and the agent must be held accountable."
"Moreover, it is time for CBP, and especially the Border Patrol, to be held accountable for multiple incidents of excessive use of force, abuse and corruption. CBP is the largest law enforcement agency in the country but fails even basic accountability. There is no excuse.”

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).

The feds unsealed terrorism charges against a white supremacist last week. But the Justice Department didn’t tell anyone. Here’s why: huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
DOJ’s former NatSec chief tells me Neo-Nazi's alleged terror plot "is very much on par with other terrorism crimes that we’ve seen in the United States and elsewhere which are motivated by the Islamist extremist ideologies such as that promoted by ISIS.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
Former DOJ National Security Division chief tells me the terrorism case against this alleged Neo Nazi would’ve been handled a lot differently had he be been "pledging Bay’ah to Baghdadi.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…

An initiative to create an independent redistricting commission is well on its way to making the 2018 ballot in Michigan, one of the worst GOP-gerrymandered states usnews.com/news/best-stat…
Ending GOP gerrymandering in MI would be huge. No state more consistently sees popular vote loser win lege majority
GOP gerrymandering likely cost Michigan Dems 2 congressional seats from 2012-2016. That number could even rise to 3 seats in 2018
