Can yall help me amplify this? I know folks are fatigued — but I think of this family all the time. What it must be like to go from having your own home to living in a tent. With genocide we focus on deaths but this indignity, this reduction too is erasure.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears Noem v. @alotrolado-org.bsky.social—a pivotal case for the right to seek #asylum. We urge the Court to reject the unlawful turnback policy that exposed families to violence and denied access to protection. We must protect the right to seek asylum.

"But just as this latest immigration ban has precedent… so too does the resistance to it. We can learn from the civil rights movement, from the Black led multiracial coalition that insisted that the rights of all people of color were… connected, that they needed to be treated equally under the law."
