“When I am able to call (my son), he is not able to give me information about his circumstances because he is only 2 years old and too young to communicate.” - MGU from Guatemala, being held in CA

The experience of these parents and thousands like them who remain unheard are why we are marching this Sunday in Tornillo TX.

Let’s be a voice for the voiceless and demand that families are reunited & free!

Your monthly reminder that this President is stoking anti immigrant hate when the FACTS show that crime has plummeted even as our undocumented population has grown. (Thread)
Receipts.
Worth noting that @realDonaldTrump did not tweet for over 5 hours about the Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 and injured 500.

His selective outrage is tied directly to the race of the perpetrator of the crime.

Twitter may not be the most effective place to solicit for this, but if you (or, more likely, your parents, grandparents, great grandparents) did forced labor during WW2 for ghettos under German control, please read this. #Thread
Back in 1997 there was a landmark case in Germany that determined that people who'd labored in the Lodz Ghetto would get credit toward German Social Security for that work.
In 2002, Germany codified it and said that forced laborers in any ghetto under German control were eligible. At the time (2000-2005), my full time job was as a case manager to Holocaust survivors and Nazi Victims. I did stuff like take them to the doctor, pluck their chin

Yesterday @segalink advised that we stay away from buying used phones. I totally endorse that advice. Today i will share how a client was sentenced to death for buying a stolen generator. This is a true story.
#thread.
Ideally, buying goods from a market overt, without any notice as to the defect in the title is enough defence, in so far as the goods were bought for a fair value but this is Nigeria where the vast majority of our Policemen are very ignorant of the law
So this guy of northern extraction (Haruna) was working as a gateman in Benin and someone approached him offering a small generator for sale. They bargained and agreed for 7k. The next day the guy brought the generator in a sack, collected the money and left.

Yesterday, I thought about how difficult it is for many of us to concatenate being Christian with enjoying life. #Thread #Christianity #Christian
Somehow we imagine one cannot be Christian and sexual, Christian and metrosexual, Christian and gourmand. When we are forced to make a choice, we either choose active Christian and boring or passive Christian and epicurean.
I am so alive. I am culturally exposed and enjoy living. But, there is a centredness to me. Because God lives within me, he modulates everything I do.

Parents & children are not just being separated at the border. They are being separated in every state by @ICEgov - an immoral force ripping apart families everywhere. It’s time to #AbolishICE so we can #FreeOurFuture and #EndFamilySeparation.
U.S. Citizens - Call Congress and ask them use their oversight authority to #EndFamilySeparation. We must ensure the rights of children and parents are respected, and our legal system is allowed to work. Call- (202)224-3121 to share this important message. #ReuniteFamiliesNow
@DHSGov - the @UN has recommended guidelines for human rights at international borders bit.ly/2typSbW . The actions the DHS is taking do not comply with these guidelines. Stop the human rights abuses! #ReuniteFamiliesNow #EndFamilyDetention @womensmarch @UnitedWeDream
