The essay traces my lifelong, complicated relationship with my father and Turkish identity. It narrates the wonder and warmth I felt visiting family in Turkey as a child; the volatile mix of affection and anger I experienced when visiting my father after my parents’ divorce …

So powerful. A good tool for talking with your people who are pro-ICE or on the fence, combining messages, images & research that portray immigrants as humans worthy of care and speak to the material interests of taxpayers. A one-two punch at ICE's racist violence, lies, and waste www.icecostsus.com

ICE Costs US
ICE’s 2026 budget increased by 400%. 17 million people are about to lose their health care. We’re paying for ICE’s violence while being denied the resources we need to live.

MAGAs are so racist they made up a lie to scare Americans about Obama being a socialist and secret Muslim born in Kenya—and karma responded by electing a Ugandan born Muslim and proud democratic socialist to mayor of New York City.😅

I’m with you, brother. Before the pandemic moved most of us to working from home, I emptied the dishwasher a lot at the union hall. Otherwise, I think it generally fell to the support staff, mostly women.

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.” Incredible reporting from @bikeportland.org

Watch out for this guy. During a protest in #Portland #PearlDistrict yesterday, he told me the music was too loud. I started to acknowledge the inconvenience, but then he said "if you don't stop, I will come back with a gun." I said that was inappropriate. He hit my hand with his cane.
