Last year, we won a temporary stay of deportation for journalist Manuel Duran, who was arrested in Memphis in April, then detained & threatened with deportation.

This year, we'll keep fighting for immigrants in the Deep South. #SPLCWinterReadingList bit.ly/2Bb112a
Like so many others who have been deported or are detained & awaiting deportation, Manuel Duran would be in grave danger if her were deported from the US. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
Law students volunteered with us to help defend our clients. "Immigration prisons exact an enormous emotional toll, & they make it nearly impossible for prisoners to find legal representation for their asylum cases," one wrote. splcenter.org/attention-on-d…

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Rep. Steve King said last week.

To be clear, white supremacy and white nationalism have always been “offensive.” nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/…
This was far from King's first time signaling support for white nationalism. He made white nationalist comments on CNN less than a year ago; praised an anti-Muslim figure convicted of hate speech; retweeted a neo-Nazi; and called Mexican immigrants “dirt.” cdn.americanprogress.org/content/upload…
Rep. King’s tenure in office has been marked by racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, bigoted words and deeds. But he’s not the only one. Just 24 hours before King was kicked off his committees, Trump put out a blatantly racist tweet about Native Americans. splcenter.org/hate-white-hou…

We’re here at the @Ctr4CHR joining the @NAACPGA, @NAACPAtlanta, @NationalSCLC and several other orgs ahead of the Georgia General Assembly calling for necessary, long overdue change—that begins with the takedown of Confederate monuments throughout the South.
There are 159 counties in Georgia. Ninety-two of them have Confederate monuments.
“This is a momentous occasion, but this is just the beginning.

“We cannot have a united country until we remove the symbols that divided this country.” —First Vice President of @NAACPAtlanta Gerald Griggs

President Trump spoke tonight about "illegal aliens," but no human is illegal. #NoBanNoWall splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
It’s a myth that immigrants commit crimes at higher rates than native born Americans. It’s a myth that they hurt the economy. For the president to spread these fears tonight is not only inaccurate, but immoral. tolerance.org/magazine/sprin…
There is a humanitarian crisis at the border — one that this president’s relentless war on asylum seekers and his refusal to comply with the law have manufactured. #PresidentialAddress splcenter.org/news/2019/01/0…

Laila just asked me to take her to Disney. Jeremiah said he wants to go too.

Sunday is around the corner, and they’re gonna be soooooooo shocked!!!! They still don’t know.
Operation Disney is underway. Flight leaves at 6. Uber’s on its way.

Passenger 3 is very concerned about the early wake up and flight. “WTF is going on?”

Passenger 4 clearly doesn’t have time for our shit. 😂

They are still unaware of the plans.
Just landed in ATL. We have a very quick connection. For now, they think we’re going on a business trip w/dad so we wouldn’t be separated for Xmas. Dad & I were able to hide the Disney tags on the luggage, so they’re still unaware. 😄😁😁😁

Thinking a "hashwar" matters is indicative of not understanding the direction Bitcoin is moving towards, or where it is even now.

Here's why. 👇
The top 5 telecom companies collaborating couldn't fork away from 4G when they roll out 5G no matter how hard they tried.

Imagine if everyone's phones just stopped working at the same time?

You don't grow to those sizes without a symbiosis existing between you & your customers.
Although, deprecation over generations is possible. Telecoms provide the infrastructure required to communicate between those protocols.

Devices can deprecate old tech over generations as well. Nobody uses Nextel's walkie-talkie anymore, and it was decommed by Sprint in 2013.

@bbc_thismorning
This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

“The Audacity Of Impunity — @segalink” by @segalink medium.com/@segalink/the-…
While the IGP remains in his delusional world. Here are the true state of things within the balkanized police structure; Patriotic officers within the system are frustrated but can’t complain. Even those within the IGP X Squad are flummoxed as they can’t do their job effectively.
When they identify and arrest the hoodlum that proliferate the SARS, SACS or SAKS Rogue units, they get released mysteriously by their benefactors within the system and return to our streets to continue maiming and robbing innocent citizens, while their superiors cover up.

Last month I took a road trip through the south to see the work being done in the fight for equality and social justice. Didn't spend much time on my phone because I wanted to be fully in the moment.

Here’s a mini-journal of the things that went down (THREAD) --
Kickoff // Miami

Picked up the RV with my boy Mike who came for the trip...That’s the homie Buster in the window 😂

Planned a kickoff event in Miami but heard about a prison reform protest in Tallahassee & drove overnight to make it there.
Stop 1 // Tallahassee

Met w/ Dream Defenders to protest for fair treatment of incarcerated individuals. Was my first time on the front lines. Empowering feeling to be apart of! ✊🏽 Although those in charge wouldn't open a dialogue, we made our voices heard
