Roughly 100,000 Georgians are currently incarcerated. A majority are serving time under felony conviction and thus, cannot vote. Imagine if the Democratic Party made it a priority to change that

(by both enfranchising them and also not incarcerating them in the first place, plus GA’s correctional supervision is the largest in the nation if I’m not mistaken)

@MigrantJustice

BREAKING: (THREAD) Today, in a historic lawsuit on behalf of @MigrantJustice and membership, we sued ICE for its continued pattern of targeting immigrant activists. It’s an example of egregious federal law enforcement and if you didn’t believe in ABOLISH ICE before, buckle up /1

@ciw

Migrant Justice is a labor rights advocacy org in Vermont. Following the footsteps of Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez of the UFW + Chicano movement, along with @ciw, they are the lifeline to the immigrant community + the gold standard for labor organizing in New England /2

Of course the federal government, which famously infiltrated the Chicano movement and UFW, would not let a group of immigrant activists, let alone immigrant *labor* activists, mobilize. Over the course of four years and ongoing, ICE engaged in a brutally destructive campaign /3

Here is a long thread directly at the intersection of the not-missing 1500 kids and the “new” U.S. policy to separate kids from their parents. It is extremely confusing and I hope this gives you a good background in addition to allowing me space to vent via missive/screed /1

CBP arrests individuals it finds along the border and transfers them to ICE custody for processing, where they begin outright their civil immigration proceedings (leaving out criminal prosecution/Operation Streamline—for now, Sessions seems intent on prosecuting all parents). /2

If CBP encounters an unaccompanied minor, they are then transferred to ORR custody. Thanks to something known as the 1997 Flores settlement, the US has to follow certain minimum standards for detaining minors: if possible, it must release children to a family member/sponsor. /3
