Kyrsten Sinema is an X-Mormon.

She graduated from church-owned BYU & only left Mormonism as an adult (not the distant past).

As an X-Mormon, I think this explains a lot of her:

—Attempts to appear “unique” (wigs, wackiness)
—Extremist tendencies to reject groupthink
—Nihilism

Wild how wearing a simple mask is "living in fear,"—but forcing our kids to wear bulletproof backpacks behind bulletproof doors & bulletproof windows while allowing open carry AR-15s, unlimited ammo, & body gear because the govment's gonna getcha, is perfectly rational "freedom."

Since I don’t have any interest in working in immigration after my current job, I’ll be honest.

I think advocacy orgs are misleading and dishonest when they tell their undocumented base that immigration reform is on the horizon.

[HaitianBridge @HaitianBridge]

There is a history of anti-Blackness within the immigration system, where addressing and resolving the specific issues that impact Black migrants is often delayed or deprioritized, if they are addressed at all.

“"They do not care about a Black man,' Wilfred Tebah Columbus, Ohio, resident said, referring to U.S. politicians. 'The difference is really clear. They know what is happening over there, and they have decided to close their eyes and ears.”' 1/

An expedition that set out in search of the lost ship of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton has found it — 106 years after the vessel sank off Antarctica.

The wooden ship Endurance has been located about 10,000 feet underwater in the Weddell Sea. https://t.co/OFD4uZu4rU

In light of last week's contrasting court rulings on Title 42 — it's more urgent than ever for @POTUS to #EndTitle42 and restore full access to asylum.

More on why we are calling on the Biden administration to act immediately.👇

Another awful decision by BIA -- Matter of KAGUMBAS -- that will make immigration lawyers' practice (hmm excuse me purgatory) ❤️‍🔥 by having to document the bona fides for every IR AOS during removal proceedings.

➡️NEW: @DHSgov released a memo that includes some meaningful improvements to enforcement but places a *dangerous* amount of discretion in the hands of ICE agents.

We will hold @SecMayorkas accountable to ensure these new priorities are implemented in a fair & humane way.

Raise your hand if you’re a Feminist 🙋🏼‍♀️

Ok so why aren’t you talking about Muslim girls and women in France losing their religious freedoms which includes right to wear their hijab?

Oh the hands are down now. Ok 😒

[Liz Franks @LizTFranks]

A lovely example of why representation matters.

[Ayesha Noor @AyeshaNRashid]

#France has voted to ban the wearing of the #hijab in public for those under 18, burkinis in public pools, and wearing of the hijab for those accompanying children on school trips.

While all 3 of these votes are absurd to say the least, the last one hit me personally.

@NastasyaParker Wow! Congratulations!

This is an absolutely phenomenal @ImmCouncil paper. I bet it could be much longer than it is. https://t.co/IK2UhvwVvz
