(cw: torture)

The Biden White House is going to the Supreme Court to stop Abu Zubaydah, a man who's been imprisoned in Guantánamo 15+ years, and waterboarded 83 times, from making details of a US torture program public. democracynow.org/2021/10/7/supr…

Indefensible. Unspeakable. (1/3)

President Biden pledged he would #CloseGuantanamo. It remains open, while his administration does this.

The US military prison at Guantanamo turns 20 in a few months. The US war in Afghanistan, now officially over (though we know drone warfare continues), turned 20 yesterday.

It's never too late to end an atrocity. It's not enough to just #CloseGuantanamo. But we can't end any of the worst parts of forever wars and imperialism if we don't at least do that: mpowerchange.org/closegitmo (3/3)

@NYGovCuomo

Shakoure remains in ICE detention bc DHS is withholding vital docs that could prove his citizenship & set him free

ICE's motivations are rooted in anti-Black Islamophobia & not much else

Join us to demand @NYGovCuomo pardon Shakoure ➡️ mpowerchange.org/CallShakoure

#FreeShakoure 1/4

Shakoure's case illustrates the effects of anti-Blackness, Islamophobia & xenophobia in our carceral system. Shakoure already served 24.5 years in prison for the felony that triggered his arrest

But a pardon from Cuomo could end court proceedings & set him free #FreeShakoure 2/4

Shakoure—a Black Muslim youth mentor from Queens—shouldn't be going through this. Especially not from a jail cell while #COVID19 ravages jails across the US

This public health crisis continues to violate imprisoned ppl's human rights #FreeShakoure 3/4

BREAKING: It’s now official — Trump is expanding the Muslim Ban to cover 6 new countries, with a focus on targeting families. Here’s what we all need to know — please RT if you can. THREAD. #StandWithMuslims #NoMuslimBanEver #RepealTheBan

@NILC

@NILC @ZahraBilloo @lsarsour @CAIRNational @CAIRSFBA @aaaj_alc @AvidehNILC This expansion blocks immigration visa's from Eritrea, Nigeria, Burma, Kyrgyzstan and diversity visas from Sudan and Tanzania.

This would hurt families, blocking them from joining their children, spouses, or parents in the US

@NILC

@NILC @ZahraBilloo @lsarsour @CAIRNational @CAIRSFBA @aaaj_alc @AvidehNILC This moment demands we take to the streets. Remember the airport events nationwide when the Muslim Ban was first announced? We need that energy now.

Please RSVP to a #StandWithMuslims event, or create an event yourself, here: nomuslimbanever.com/action

...then come back here.

Welcome to today’s Twitter chat! We’ll break down how @AWScloud & @PalantirTech power ICE’s deportation-detention machine w/ our partners: @ConMijente @CosechaMovement @StandUpNash @LaColectiVA703 @MaketheRoadNY @DenshoProject @popdemoc @UndocuBlack & @CAAAV!

@PalantirTech

In light of news that ICE used facial recog software to mine state driver databases & track down immigrants—it's extra crucial to break down the relationship between ICE, @PalantirTech & @awscloud (which houses Rekognition, @Amazon's facial recog software) #AmazonVSImmigrants
