Ironically, my original interview with the journalist I spoke with was primarily about how "inconsistencies" can come from gender bias in investigatory processes and then be blamed on survivors. It was the inspiration for this thread--but none of these points made it into any USA Today article:

I graduated med school in 2014. I was taught-and saw-how hard melanoma was to treat, like a death sentence Since then, new treatments have made it possible for people w/ the most advanced melanoma, like Jimmy Carter, to live to 100! We are killing ourselves by letting them destroy American science

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

With the administration refusing to process diversity visas, effectively terminating access to asylum, ending almost all refugee admissions, and now refusing to process employment and family based petitions, there does not currently seem to be a mechanism to legally immigrate to the U.S. from abroad

On the subject of Dolly’s union/working class solidarity, her 9 to 5 LP included Woody Guthrie’s ´Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’, a protest song about the racist mistreatment & media coverage of exploited Mexican farm workers who died when the plane deporting them crashed in 1948.

At @damemagazine.bsky.social, I argue the convoluted, outdated, contradictory immigration framework must be rethought and revamped along two guiding principles: 1) it must be dramatically simplified, and 2) the framework cannot allow for permanent semi-status like TPS or lack of status entirely

A final thought: What's happening with Haitians and TPS is a microcosm of how our entire immigration system is designed to criminalize people. This administration is pointing to a bullshit Supreme Court ruling as evidence that Haitians are criminals -- all because their status arbitrarily changed.

Believing the government has a right to force people to bring every pregnancy to term or die trying is not a personal belief, it's a political position that is rooted in patriachal, white supremacist policy and history and religion. It's about patriarchal control and religious nationalism.

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
