“It is so important for us to hold the administration accountable. Otherwise, these men will die in El Salvador. This is what we fear. Today is Day 83. Every day that Andry is in that prison, is a day that he could lose his life.” @L_Toczylowski @ImmDef

I had a good discussion with @benrhodes at Pod Save the World about #Gaza. @realDonaldTrump you can stop this slaughter anytime you want, just stop sending the weapons. https://t.co/qdl1QaI3GR

President Trump has instructed officials to come up with a plan to prioritize refugee admissions of “Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.” On his first day back at the White House, the president indefinitely paused the U.S. refugee program.

"A few years ago, 70% of Gazans were #refugees. In 2024, the UN reported that 90% of Gazans were displaced… #Gaza’s universities are gone…~95% of schools have been damaged or destroyed. Whole neighborhoods are filmed as they get blown up." -@MosabAbuToha

In October, 2023, I could not imagine anything worse than the destruction in Jabalia refugee camp. But what is happening now outstrips anything I saw there.

My advice to journos covering Syria: this is a complex story to tell with a criminal regime, bad actors, foreign influence & uncertainty of what's to come. Tell complex stories, but center your stories in the agency of Syrians. It's their story, their country, their freedom.

To all the analysts jumping on here to warn about tomorrow, Syrians are 10 steps ahead of you. Have some basic human empathy and let those celebrating the release of the unjustly detained, the reuniting of families, the hopes of return, the end of a brutal regime do so in peace.

The threats of a second Trump presidency extend far beyond the communities we work with, endangering all of us—especially marginalized groups. This is a moment for unity—a moment for solidarity and support across all social justice movements, communities, and issue areas.

Eight years after he first took office, his administration is poised to enact policies that would be devastating to communities across the country and our society as a whole, including mass deportations and the dismantling of refugee protections.
