.@SouthwestAir PLEASE provide this family with accommodation in Chicago. They're stranded in the freezing cold airport and you won't pay for a hotel for them for the night.

They've been thru hell. They were held in detention and the baby is recovering from heart surgery.
@SouthwestAir SA > Chicago > Boston (Original flight); THAT didn't happen --instead, plane ran out of gas & now mom is in Indianapolis & waiting for plane to get refueled.

Once refueled they'll get to Chicago & will ask for hotel @SouthwestAir counter. We'll keep y'all posted.
Thank you all so much for offering to support. We want @SouthwestAir to provide lodging to this family because it's their fault they MIGHT be landing in Chicago in the middle of the night.
LATEST UPDATE (READ BELOW): @SouthwestAir We called several times to your 1800 number, Colin/Lawrence/Kay/Austin/Joe/Mary/Kevin (All the representatives we spoke to since 8pm last night). #DoTheRightThing
LAST UPDATE: After mom and baby slept on the floor last night, they have finally made it to Boston. *LUGGAGE IS MISSING THOUGH**

🚫🚫 BREAKING 🚫🚫

We've been providing free legal services to migrants for yrs at the ICE detention center in Karnes.

This week @ICEgov and @GEOGroup drastically limited our access to clients.

apnews.com/ad5ff0b5fd564b…
👨🏽‍⚖️ They SHUT off our access to a room for us to meet clients.

🤬 They won't let clients sign a waitlist.

🧐They've won't use a loudspeaker to call clients. They said it would be "fiscally irresponsible"

Normally our team consults ~100 clients a day, now we're down to ~30 ↘
The chaos at Karnes is enabled by @GEOGroup who have a multi-million dollar contract from the gov to run this facility.

Yet they are unable to figure out how to facilitate free access to counsel for these immigrant women.

We've a story with a happy ending to share with you all.

Everyone is reading about the #MuellerReport but this story goes to the heart of Trump's hateful immigration agenda and shows that when we advocate, we can overcome.

Come with us on this one, promise you’ll enjoy it.
Last year in the run up to the Midterms, Trump used fear mongering tactics to drum up his base: he scapegoated a caravan of people who were en route to the U.S. seeking asylum.
Every day we’d hear new falsehoods and fear mongering.

He said they were “stone cold criminals” and the new head of DHS @CBP_McAleenan told media over 500 had criminal records: usatoday.com/story/news/201…

Yesterday a judge in San Francisco issued an injunction to stop the “Remain in Mexico” policy. This made asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their asylum cases proceed.

It’s dangerous to force those fleeing violence to stay in another country.
We know this because our clients have told us stories of what they’ve gone through.

This is one of them.
“I fled Cuba with my husband, my brother and sister in law. A taxi was supposed to take us from Reynosa (border city) to the border but instead stopped at a convenience store. The man there told us we had to pay $400. We didn’t have money."

Freezing cold take: The Danse Macabre is pretty great.

Also, I think the vast majority of modern people would be ABSOLUTELY STAGGERED by the ever-present nature of death in the pre-modern world.
The Danse Macabre serves multiple purposes, but primarily functions as a memento mori: a reminder that you, too, shall die one day. And death, as depicted in the art, is an equalizer; it comes for the rich and poor, pious and impious, kind and cruel, young and old.
But this wasn't interpreted as morbid! For the majority of people, it was reassuring, because it was the Middle Ages, and they were probably Catholic. This stuff was a reminder to keep on God's good side, so they could be resurrected one day.

Dear Chicago..
We hear your cries..
All across the Nation & around the World..
Those covering-up for these criminal actors deserve to be held criminally accountable as well. ei: Mainstream Media Censorship
@realDonaldTrump offered to send help= Rahm Emanuel said NO!
Chicagoan's NEED to reverse the STRICT anti-gun laws, then learn proper use, care, & safety then... USE THOSE GUNS to protect themselves from criminals INCLUDING their leaders. That is exactly what the 2nd Amendment was designed for!

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
