This July 4 will be the first Jose is with his family in 3 years, & also the first he will celebrate as an on-the-way to US citizen after more than a decade of trying. His fight has spanned three administrations & the arc of what critics say is nonsensical immigration enforcement
For @HoustonChron coverage on Jose Escobar, spanning the years of his fight, see link, with gorgeous photos @MarieDennise @photojuancarlos. Also links to our coverage of family separation, Remain in Mexico, & more immigration news. Gracias @rachaelgleason

.@jaspscherer reports @SylvesterTurner @Lina4HC denounce @icegov raids, but interestingly, Houston & Harris County is largest city/county in nation to not designate any taxpayer funds for deportation defense. (Even SA/Austin do) tinyurl.com/y38xlbew
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
advocates say it’s time city/county leaders make this a priority, given # Houstonians at risk @HTXimmigration
Chicago, for instance, the nation’s 3rd biggest city to Houston’s 4th, just earmarked $250k for deportation defense. nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-roo…

She was often bullied for being raised by a single parent. When her mother was unable to pay the electricity bill, the power company took away all the furniture. She left home at 16 and worked as a server, flower courier and factory worker.

In April, the lawyer and social commentator Alan Dershowitz, who helped broker Mr. Epstein’s plea deal, wrote a public letter to the administrators of the Pulitzer Prize urging them not to reward what he called “fake news and shoddy journalism.” (The series was not a finalist.)
Just so inspiring, @jkbjournalist and @EmilyMichot !!!! 💪💪💪 kudoooos

This @propublica story that DHS is using secret gang databases to justify separating families bolsters what we reported several weeks ago: that hundreds of parents are still being removed from their kids because of suspect claims that often fall apart
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
It includes Carlos, the Salvadoran dad we first reported on in Nov, who was accused of being MS-13 despite only one unsubstantiated piece of evidence the govnt refused to make public. He was released in May, with the govnt raising zero concerns of danger
houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
These databases seem to sweep up people who were never charged with a crime at all, but perhaps may have been very loosely affiliated with gangs, as many in ES are because they control everything. Sometimes the accused migrants were in fact victims.

Today is #WorldKidneyDay, so here is a thread about living on #dialysis & #OrganDonation. My name is Belinda Otas. I’m #African. I’m #Nigerian. I'm #Benin. I’m #British & I’m #Black. Beyond the nationalities or passports with my name, I also believe in our shared humanity.
I was 16, when I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF.) I had no idea what was happening to me because at the time, it made no sense. However, I remember the pain of that period like noonday. I lived on dialysis until i was 22. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
It took over my teenage years. I don’t remember having much of a life as a teenager because dialysis was 3x a week & every session was 4hrs. Add the time it takes to recover from being exhausted by the process, my day was pretty much over. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth

being a slytherin, it’s only natural for taehyung to want his house to win all quidditch matches against gryffindor but the ultimate reason why he wants to win is so the gryffindor seeker can vent out his defeat and frustration by fucking him hard and raw

Taehyung lazily wrapped the green and silver scarf tighter as he leaned over the stands of the student section. The November air was chilly, a fresh mix of sunset leaves dancing with the wind every time it blows but things were just now getting heated in the game of Quidditch.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

So I have a ton of series I’m behind on, and many more I haven’t even started. BUT, I also have this. I’m gonna do a rewatch thread instead~ I’ve seen this show many times, but the last time I got all the way through it was probably more than a decade ago. So let’s do this! 🦄
First, to set the mood: The opening. a classic. Admire Miki's floofy clothes~
