This #GivingTuesday, consider giving to support organizations that have spent the last few months working tirelessly to reunite families the administration has separated at the border. Over 200 children are still waiting to be reunited with loved ones.
The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, @RAICESTEXAS, provides representation to families in asylum and immigration hearings. raicestexas.org/donate/familie…
The National Immigrant Justice Center, or @NIJC, helps asylum-seekers win their cases and fights against renewed attempts to separate and jail more families. immigrantjustice.salsalabs.org/donatesteps/in…
Kids in Need of Defense, @supportKIND, represents unaccompanied children in court and gives them a chance to be reunited with their families. donate.supportkind.org/give/212186/#!…
Many of this summer’s family separation stories have ended happily thanks to an outpouring of support. But as the headlines have receded, the work has continued. Today is a great day to help.

Important legislation introduced yesterday: The Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights Act would correct the Trump administration's dangerous decision to remove reporting on reproductive rights from the State Department's annual reports on human rights practices around the world.
Some background:

All branches of the U.S. government use the State Department's human rights reports to shape policy and inform decision-making around diplomacy and allocations of aid and security.
Human rights advocates, lawmakers, academics, businesses, NGOs, and other institutions all over the world use the reports to inform their work as well.

.@fams2gether, @ACLU and others are in Mexicali today working to reunify families the administration has separated. Help by calling @CBP now at 1-855-681-1349 and demand that CBP allow parents to apply for asylum—their legal right—so they can be reunited with their children.
A second call you can make right now to help families who want to reunite with their kids:

Call your member of Congress and ask them to put pressure on CBP to grant asylum to parents applying in Mexicali today.

The Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121.
Thank you to everyone who called CBP or their member of Congress this weekend to help a group of families in Mexicali get re-entry to the U.S. This is a huge step forward in getting them reunited with their kids.

An important thing you can do today: Call your member of Congress and ask her or him to vote for permanent funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, which is running out of money as people continue to suffer effects of the attacks.
After the attacks, we worked to put funding in place for first responders working in hazardous conditions. Since 9/11, over 40,000 first responders have come down with cancer, asthma, and other conditions from the toxins they were exposed to. cdc.gov/wtc/ataglance.…
Permanent funding should be a bipartisan matter and easy to get done. Indeed, it should have been done already.

Call your member of Congress now and ask them to vote for the "Never Forget the Heroes" Act: (202) 224-3121

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your support as I ran for re-election in Ohio, and thank you for your support as we traveled the country on the Dignity of Work tour.
.@ConnieSchultz and I have spent the last few months traveling around the country to make dignity of work a centerpiece of Democrats’ 2020 campaign, and we are so grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into their communities and into their lives.
We’ve seen candidates begin taking up the dignity of work fight, and we have seen voters across the country demanding it—because dignity of work is a value that unites all of us. It is how we beat Trump, and it is how we should govern.

I've spent the last few months documenting how 'Tommy Robinson’ uses doorstepping to intimidate his critics, and how social media giants have enabled it.

So what does he do? Turns up at my house tonight. 1/
'Tommy’ has done this, as yesterday, a letter was delivered to his home, informing him that he's being sued for defamation on behalf of Jamal, the Syrian refugee bullied in a viral video last year.

Since I'm close, I'm a critic and I knew about it, he decided to target me. /2
My involvement in the weekend's events was this: I helped crowdfund the defamation action and I alerted people that it was happening on social media - I freely admit that.

On Sunday, however, I was at home in Luton. /3

I have spent the last few months listening to nursery rhymes that my niece plays on repeat and as a consequence I have very, very strong feelings about the nursery rhyme "Nan Teri Morni"

[thread]
Let's start with the first line.

"Nani teri morni ko morr le gaye"

Let's face it, these are animals who are probably mating. Attributing lack of consent and/or agency to the peahens is insulting, and a rejection of how animals normally behave.
"Baqi jo bacha tha kaalay chorr le gaye"

First up, is this racial profiling helping solve the case? Secondly, and my biggest pet peeve, WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAD WITH THE FACT THAT NANI HAS BEEN COMPLETELY ROBBED?!?!

Whitaker will be fine. Dems are PISSED because they know at this point Mueller’s SC is not going to deliver any evidence of Trump Russia collusion and that story yesterday revealing the DOJ was surveilling Schiff/Simpson last year has scared them.
Reminder: somebody HANDED that story to @jsolomonReports and showed pictures taken of Schiff/Simpson having a chat together.

The day before Whitaker comes in to testify before this committee.

I didn’t watch the hearing, but I bet NOBODY asked about the Schiff/Simpson pics.
The biggest takeaway from that hearing was Whitaker CONFIRMING Huber’s been investigating the Carter Page FISA warrant/FISC Court abuse.

You know, US Attorney John Huber, the guy the doom criers spent the last few months insisting to YOU wasn’t doing anything.

We are fighting just the police for mistaking techies and related careers as fraudsters when we have a much bigger problem #thread
It’s painful to be misunderstood by a man in a security uniform but have you thought of how depressing it is to be denied of basic rights and opportunities because of misunderstanding from your society and your government?
Last year, I worked with deepstreamHub (a realtime SaaS startup in Germany). I was invited over for on-boarding and meetings. Guess who couldn’t go? Me. My Visa application was denied.

This might not look very impressive but these little sprouts mean the world to me 🌱 They are the first fruits of my new endeavor to “plant my own garden & decorate my own soul.” 💚 Someday soon these little sprouts will hopefully blossom into sunflowers 🌻
Over the past several weeks as I’ve been working through heartbreak & grief & anxiety...God has continued to place this scripture on my heart. I’ve struggled to understand why He keeps bringing me back to this point.
Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Laura...& she too has been continuously pointed back to scriptures about seeds & growth & planting & fruit lately. She’s even speaking at a retreat this weekend where that’s the theme! And I don’t believe in coincidence 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
