THIS is what I'm talking about! The @NyTimes Ed Board doesn't just come out against mass atrocities happening at the border. They provide a blueprint of what to do about it. I've lifted up their suggestions below: Speak up! Donate! Educate yourself! Vote!nytimes.com/2019/06/24/opi…
SPEAK UP: Call Congress, your mayor and local representatives. Contact your representative and tell them you want upcoming ICE raids to be called off and detention conditions improved. govtrack.us/congress/membe…
SPEAK UP: @RAICESTEXAS has provided a template and an online form that you can use to email your congressional representatives. raicestexas.org/action/stop-th…
REPORT & DOCUMENT: The National Immigration Law Center (@NILC) has suggested reporting raids to local hotlines, such as United We Dream’s MigraWatch. unitedwedream.org/heretostay/kno…
DONATE: @UNITEDWEDREAM @aclu @ConMijente are coordinating advocacy and services at a national level. @NewSanctuaryNYC @LasAmericasIAC @RAICESTEXAS on a local level.
DONATE for FREEDOM: 1 of the most effective ways to reunite immigrants separated from their families is to assist w/ paying their bail. You can find and donate to a bail fund in your city through the National Bail Fund Network. communityjusticeexchange.org/nbfn-directory
EDUATE YOURSELF & COMMUNITY: The @nytimes highlighted our (@BklynDefender) know your rights project #WeHaveRights to help encounters with ICE. 4 videos on most common encounters with ICE in 7 languages: wehaverights.us. 1st one here—When at door:

I had to watch it to make sure that the quote was real.

I watched it and the quote is real.

And the scariest part is he has no awareness about how deeply damaging & wrongheaded this view & these words are.

He’s just so matter-of-fact racist.
For all defending Joe as just calling out racial profiling: 1. “Gangbanger” is racially loaded term. 2. Part of a pattern of casually using loaded terms. 3. His point is off. Its not about need to consider someone could be “good.” It’s the need to perceive Black people as people.
Words matter. Language that may be benign or carry no meaning to one person, can be deeply damaging, violent, & traumatic to an entire class of people. The fact that Biden is continuously unable or unwilling to be more thoughtful betrays a surprising lack of compassion.

Separating any families through deportation is cruel. Here though, Trump is *specifically targeting* the families of those currently serving & defending the United States. His sadism is truly terrifying.
Trump is terminating “parole in place.” Program “offers temporary relief from deportation for military families where a spouse or loved one came to the country illegally—to allow troops to serve w/o fear that their families could be sent home *while* service member is deployed.”
“The military has long been an avenue to citizenship for foreign nationals & over past 2 decades >130,000 troops from 30 countries become naturalized citizens.” While gross you have to risk your life for a chance at citizenship, canceling this program is a special kind of awful.

5 years.
2,495 reports of biased policing.
0 found “substantiated” by NYPD.

Really?

Does anyone, not on a police force, & with the ability to think logically, think something might be flawed with the NYPD review & accountability process? nypost.com/2019/06/26/nyp…
Some reasons NYPD could say they’ve found no cases of bias in 5 years:

-They don’t count offensive language like racial slurs as “bias.”
-If you or anyone w/ you is arrested & pleads guilty to anything, bias doesn’t count.
-Failed to even interview complainants 20% of time
Some more reasons the NYPD could announce a statistically impossible result of no bias in 5 years:

-Unsubstantiated doesn’t mean “unfounded.” Just means conflicting evidence. A denial can be sufficient.
-NYPD often found no “bias” bc officer was the same race!

At what point do we as a country say enough to the murder and inhumane treatment of children? We need to stop this because clearly our leaders aren’t. I’m sickened beyond belief that we are watching this regime treat children worse than animals.
I watch people in all the other countries come out in mass numbers for days/weeks to fight against injustice and the past few protests have produced positive results. Yet here people are just not coming out regardless how horrific the situation is.
People who visited the facilities are calling them torture facilities. This is happening here in US. We are watching innocent helpless kids get tortured, raped, kidnapped and need to stop this

THREAD on new 9th Circuit decision in Rodriguez v. Swartz, our (@ACLUaz @sdACLU + @ACLU) cross-#border shooting case: On Oct. 10, 2012, a U.S. Border Patrol agent on duty in Nogales, AZ fired between 14 & 30 bullets across the #border. aclusandiego.org/wp-content/upl…
Approximately 10 of those bullets hit J.A. Rodriguez, a 16 year old boy peacefully walking down the street on the other side of the #border wall, in Nogales, Mexico.
The 9th Circuit opinion first *affirms* the AZ district court's decision denying Agent Swartz qualified immunity: 📢📢📢"It is inconceivable that any reasonable officer could have thought that he or she could kill J.A. for no reason." Slip Op. at 9.
