✨A little personal news. ✨⁣

We don’t talk enough about the illegal immigrants who got here in the 1600s and almost immediately started human trafficking

It is completely unconscionable that none of the post debate roundtables is talking about Israel's invasion of Lebanon, and the strange and false framing of the first debate question. You should all quit your jobs.

Word, let’s talk undocumented immigrants and housing. Right now, Texas is avoiding an apocalyptic housing shortage by building new units faster than any other state. How many of those construction workers are undocumented? An estimated 50 percent

OkI figured it out. As a high-school debater, I remember the guys who didn't believe anything at all & were able to convincingly assert ANY argument they thought would win. It is values- agnostic & completely unethical in a VP candidate. It should make us scared.

Yo, what party is JD Vance representing tonight? The platform revisionism is WILD.

JD Vance is making up an entirely new party platform in real time. Walz is not sufficiently checking him on it. What party is he talking about when he says "we" want gun control. It's actually very Vance like to say exactly what he thinks people want to hear. That's the point.

Immigrants are not the reason that housing is unaffordable and inaccessible. The unyielding trajectory of late stage capitalism is.

A lot of children fleeing Central America are sexually assaulted on their way here. A return to Trump after Roe could mean girls seeking asylum may be forced to carry the pregnancy to term en masse, no exceptions.

this first question: would you support a preemptive strike on Iran rather than how would you stop this regional war pretty much encapsulates what is wrong with US media coverage of this conflict

Meanwhile, the border security bill that Harris and Walz keep touting includes an increase in mandatory ICE detention beds.

We don't seem to have a single political party that will stand up and enumerate the million ways that immigrants save this country -- the contributions, the community, the culture. Despicable.

“what radicalized you?” probably my basic human empathy

So well-deserved (and rather long overdue imo!). All of us who do reproductive justice work have known!

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has just published a 649-page document with the the name, age, gender, ID number of every Palestinian killed in Gaza from October 7 to August 31 that it has info for (over 34k out of 40k). The 1st 14 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year old)

It's easy to make fun of Trump and Vance's racist, anti-Haitian hatred. It's a lot harder to be critical of Biden's implementation of Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant policies, and Harris's focus on prosecution and deportation.

FWIW, this propaganda campaign against Haitian migrants is really, really painful. For a while, but especially this past year, things have been terrifying and heartbreaking for all of us, and to be baselessly, racially smeared for political points is just so cruel. And scary.

Fuck off.
