ICE just swept up more than 2,000 people in the middle of a pandemic: dailykos.com/story/2020/9/3… #DefundICE
ICE should be releasing people to shelter at home, not filling these facilities up. But it's not just the pandemic, because hurricane season is also threatening to worsen conditions, @tomaskenn recently wrote: sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commen… #DefundICE
"Louisiana is known for infamous immigration detention centers. The conditions ppl face at these facilities, specifically Jackson Parish Correctional Center in Jonesboro, and LaSalle Correctional Center in Olla, have worsened due to the impact of these hurricanes." #DefundICE
"Sweltering heat, no water and overflowing sewage are some of the nightmarish scenarios those detained are currently enduring ... "

Advocate: “It’s a violation of human rights, and the people at this facility have spent over a year and a half in detention."

"For all her stage success, Ms. Lansbury would capture the biggest audience of her career in 1984, when she was cast as Jessica Fletcher, the mystery writer and amateur sleuth, on the CBS series 'Murder, She Wrote.'" nytimes.com/2022/10/11/art…
"'We were getting condolences even before we went on the air,' Richard Levinson, one of the show’s creators, recalled. 'At best, we hoped that it would be a marginal success.'

Instead, the show became a huge hit."
"Though she never won an Oscar or an Emmy, Ms. Lansbury received an honorary award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2013 for creating 'some of cinema’s most memorable characters' and 'inspiring generations of actors.'"

"Fuming over the civil rights movement, Southern segregationists had concocted a way to retaliate against Northern liberals. In 1962, they tricked about 200 African Americans from the South into moving north." wamu.org/story/20/02/29…
"The Reverse Freedom Rides have largely disappeared from the country’s collective memory. The scheme almost never appears in history books and is little-known even in Hyannis, the primary target of the ploy."

"Maria Praeli ... said she and others spoke candidly to Biden about their concerns and about worries their fates could be upended by a TX court if Congress doesn’t act.

'Our lives have been in limbo for far too long,' Praeli said." #HomeIsHere #HereToStay
#DACA recipient @mariapraeli: “I am enormously grateful to President Biden and his team for taking the time today to hear from—and truly listen to—#DACA recipients like me in the Oval Office." #HomeIsHere #HereToStay
“Our lives have been in limbo for far too long. Every day that goes by without Congress passing permanent legislative protections—for Dreamers and #DACA recipients like me, #TPS holders, farmworkers, and the entire undocumented population ..." #HomeIsHere #HereToStay

“She'd always say, 'I'm a diva, I'm a bitch, I'm an icon, I'm a legend, and I'm your history,' Gutierrez-Mock recalled.”
“Ms. Elizondo frequented Compton's Cafeteria, which was part of a chain of eateries owned by Gene Compton, located at 101 Taylor at Turk Street in San Francisco, from the 1940s to the 1970s.”
“In 1966, there was a riot at Compton's, when the LGBTQ community came together to defy discrimination. The riots took place three years before the more famous Stonewall riot in New York City.”

Rep. Raúl Grijalva reintroduces bill ensuring overtime pay for excluded farmworkers.

@UFWPresident: “It is hard to believe the overtime exclusion still persists 83 years later for the men and women that feed America." ufw.org/overtimeintrod…

dailykos.com/stories/2021/0…
UFW: "Agricultural workers were written out of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which granted overtime to nearly all other American workers, when Southern segregationist lawmakers did not hide their bigoted motivation ..."
"... arguing white and African American workers could not be paid the same and that extending farm workers overtime pay would lead to the end of racial discrimination."

Detention Watch Network further said in a report last year that "ICE’s failure to release people from detention during the pandemic added over 245,000 cases to the total U.S. caseload": detentionwatchnetwork.org/sites/default/…
Detention Watch Network: "Throughout the pandemic, ICE failed to provide adequate supplies of soap and PPE to people in detention and to detention center staff. Testing was inadequate and irregular."
"In at least one detention facility—the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield, California—ICE purposefully rejected universal testing because it would be too difficult to quarantine all detained people who may test positive."
