The new fight at the border is now 600 miles away from the border. ICE has built 13 new detention centers in the South. They now hold 8,000 people. They camps are in remote areas. They're popping up quickly and quietly. Since 2017, paroles granted decreased from 75% to 1%(!)
Many immigrants we work with used to travel to cities such as LA, NYC, SF, etc. where there are resources & support. Now that these cities are more prohibitively expensive, we're seeing more held folks in the South.
One of our clients, Nelson Achiri Geh, has been imprisoned him for 2+ yrs now (842 days). He's been shuffled across 3 detention centers, is now in what's been described as "one of the most miserable detention centers in the country" in Etowah County, Alabama.

🚨THREAD👇🏾

The shooting in El Paso was foreseeable and deliberate. Uncontrolled access to guns has enabled mass atrocities in cities and the white supremacist agenda that we see at every Trump rally/speech has motivated white nationalist terrorists across the country.
We know that those who profit from weapons sales, who despise gun control, are often the same profiteers who make millions arresting immigrants and caging children & families in concentration camps. They profit from the politics of hate and fear.
They want white people to fear immigrants and for immigrants to fear government.

We must be clear: We do not hate them, and we are also not afraid of them. We know that our courage will always be greater than fear.

That's why...

#Thread America First Patriot & Former White House Speechwriter @DarrenJBeattie giving one hell of a speech @WeBuildtheWall Event this weekend.

In this 1st clip Darren explains how Trump was able to lead a populist movement against the establishment & what "Conservatism" is. 1/
@DarrenJBeattie @WeBuildtheWall .@DarrenJBeattie on the Establishment's continued efforts to thwart President Trump:

"All of these oppositional forces did not die after the election and as Steve Bannon said, 'if you think the administrative state is going out without a fight, you're kidding yourself.'" 2/
@DarrenJBeattie @WeBuildtheWall .@DarrenJBeattie:

"Progression on the border wall has been underwhelming & the borders are as porous as ever. This is not only disgraceful, this is ludicrous in the precise & literal sense that it is laughable & indicates that we are becoming no longer a serious country." 3/

This is a super #Thread on the state of citizens rights & the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland

The birthright provision, to be accepted as Irish or British or both has yet to be implemented by the UK Government

Creating two tiers of Irish citizens #WeAreIrishtoo
1/ I am an Irish national born in Northern Ireland, Irish by birth & Irish under the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. I do not hold a British passport yet in 2016 I was told by the UK Home Office that I am automatically British by birth & I'd be unable to secure my husband’s status
2/ The dept suggested I renounce British citizenship in order to rely on my Irish citizenship, if I did so my husband would be able to remain in Northern Ireland as the spouse of an EU national. Under the #GFA we have the right to be accepted as Irish - not British, we appealed

Today, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Brackeen v Berhardt.

If you care about...

the wellbeing of Native children
Native American rights in any capacity
the future existence of tribes

you need to follow this case!! Here's why:
#THREAD #DefendICWA
When ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, was created 1/3 of all Native children had been adopted out of their tribe & were raised by White families. ICWA says when a Native child is up for adoption family members, tribal members or Native homes are prioritized for placement
Even with ICWA in place Native kids are disproportionately separated from their families, tribes and culture. Today, over half of US states are out of compliance.

#Thread on #Hindu #Hinduism & #Hindutva. I saw this as an imprudent need & hence the thread as below cc @vivekagnihotri @RatanSharda55 @Sanjay_Dixit @_NAN_DINI @GitaSKapoor @sankrant @DikshitSmita @Shubhrastha 👇🏼Pic: Trimurti Sadashiva sculpture on Gharapuri Island
2/n #Hinduism is a reduced nomenclature given to the Sanatana Dharma by British in 1830s. The word Hinduism is formed by adding suffix ISM to Hindu.

ISM is defined as a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.
3/n It must be understood that Hindu term always had geo-cultural meaning covering for people residing amid Sindhu River, Himalayas & Indu Sagar. Then in this case adding suffix ISM is nothing but mocking English Language. Eg, u can’t add Ism to Japanese and call Japaneism.
