Let’s remember that the Lib Dems actually have an awful track record on immigration, and have solidly let down migrant communities for a long time
1) They voted for the 2014 Immigration Act

A bill that caused Windrush. A bill that created the Hostile Environment.

@vincecable voted for it

inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
2) Bizarre migration policy

For a very long time they advocated a truly bizarre migration policy. One that would have allowed migrants to only live in certain regions

Utterly unenforceable pandering

3) The Hostile Environment

The Lib Dems were active supporters of the Hostile Environment in government. Here’s Nick Clegg boasting of measures that made life harder for all BAME communities
4) Family Income Threshold

The Lib Dems voted through the barbaric rule that separates families.

Minimum income requirements ignore both partners earning potential and splits up families

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
The fact is @TheIndGroup are just as implicated. Anna Soubry & others voting record is just as awful.

The only principled and pro migrant vote on 23rd May is to vote @TheGreenParty.

@CarolineLucas has been peerless in fighting the scapegoating of migrants

Been dancing around this take because I *do* think Sanders can win (one of the more likely nominees IMO). But was time to write it because I think people are wimps and overcompensating for 2016:

#Actually, Bernie's polling isn't that good. 🔥🔥🔥

Sanders is polling at ~20% nationally with ~100% name recognition. Slightly higher in NH but slightly worse in Iowa. Historically, candidates in a similar position don't have a great track record. (3 for 15 in winning nominations, or 20%).
Sanders's favorability/unfavorability ratings have varied a lot from poll to poll. But on average, they're in the upper-middle part of the pack, not at the top. Biden's negatives are lower and candidates like Buttigieg and Harris have better ratings adjusted for name recognition.

1) Conservative collusion with the oil industry, stacking the NEB with industry insiders, & gutting Canada’s environmental protections led to the failure of Northern Gateway (NG), TMX, the creation of #IdleNoMore, entrenched pipeline opposition, and #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli
2) to Bill C69 and:

Fisheries Act no longer protects most fish

Navigable Waters Act doesn't protect most lakes/rivers

Environmental Assessment Act replaced with a skinny law probably written on a napkin

Round Table on Environment & Economy dismantled

But Harper wasn’t done!
3) He demonized the environmental movement & aboriginal groups, and laid the groundwork for conspiracy theories: anti-oil-activists were a threat to national security, were “eco-terrorists” or “violent aboriginal extremists”, & that foreign money was blocking oilsands expansion.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:

Q: So you lost in #immigration court / #EOIR. Do you get to appeal? If so, how?
A: Depends!

THREAD 1/
Let's assume: 1st time in #immigration proceedings at all, you claimed relief like asylum &/or cancellation of removal. If not, may differ2/
You have 30 days to appeal to the BIA. Appeal must reach within 30 days. Like, for real. BIA = Board of Immigration Appeals. It's in DC. 3/
