Migrant Children Without Lawyers Face Fast-Tracked Deportations Alone https://t.co/Mw9W1m9Wpq via @NYTimes

From a recent interview

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

The actions of a man charged with a heinous crime have derailed the lawful U.S. immigration applications of people from 18 countries so far, including Afghanistan. Afghans are facing uncertainty at home and in the U.S.

Read why we can't turn our back on Afghans and other immigrants due to one man's crime: https://t.co/ZWs15CvdC2

Trump's slashing of budgets for government and NGO foreign-aid programs isn't just costing lives, it is giving China an advantage in soft power https://t.co/Z2SBB6pyiQ

@AdamKinzinger Isolation of America, narrowing of its opportunities and expansion of China's opportunities! Why do I, a car mechanic from Ukraine by profession, understand this, but Americans, who are read by millions, do not?🤒

Congratulations to the 2024 Leadership in Government Fellows!

From increasing participation in foreign and national security policy, to strengthening public education, to ensuring funding for climate and environmental investments in poorer communities, to guiding how higher education institutions address the Israel-Palestine conflict, these fellows are pursuing projects that build on their careers serving in government positions across the United States. The fellowship allows them to undertake projects that advance policy ideas for social change.

“We are fortunate that these terrific fellows bring vast knowledge of a wide set of issues. We’re excited to work with them as they develop solutions to the deep inequities in cities and states across the country,” said Laleh Ispahani, managing director of Open Society Foundations

The Leadership in Government Fellowship was founded in 2016 and supports experienced public servants, at all levels of government in the United States, who are dedicated to advancing economic, social, and racial justice.

“As we grapple with a growing climate crisis, higher education silos, ongoing foreign wars, spikes in attacks on immigrant workers, and a contentious national election, I am deeply inspired by these group of fellows and find hope in their commitment to a truly inclusive democracy,” said Elizabeth Guernsey, chief of staff at Open Society – U.S.

The 2024 Fellows:

Brett Rosenberg @Brettarosenberg will use narrative and humor writing to increase awareness of and drive participation in foreign and national security policy. 

Emily Tulli @Emily_Tulli will help build the capacity of organizations that aim to support immigrant workers enforce their rights under labor and employment laws without fear of retaliation. 

Eric Shaw @ericdshaw will create a framework for the establishment of offices of philanthropic partnership in city governments to align and accelerate city and philanthropic investments in affordable housing, park equity, food access and local entrepreneurship.

Helen Gym @HelenGymPHL will develop models for narrative storytelling, while building the capacity of leaders and grassroot voices within the nation’s public-school systems to elevate public education as an engine of democracy building.

Jahi Wise will identify interventions that can accelerate the mobilization of private and public capital into climate and clean technology projects, particularly in underserved and overlooked communities.

Tariq Habash @tariqhabash_ will develop guidelines for higher education institutions to protect academic independence and integrity, and to foster a more inclusive democracy.

@NPRinskeep And refugees

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

NPR HQ, 3:54am. The Uber driver, an immigrant from Eritrea, had on the local NPR station on the way here, and when we arrived he said, “It’s not only my channel, it’s my English teacher.”

@MollyJongFast @elonmusk And it turns out "hates humanity " means 'sold all their shares in @tsla'.

Even the fan boys must see @elonmusk's motivations and the conflict of owning @Twitter and @tsla @SpaceX etc.

It is 'absolute free speech' with a thumb firmly on one side of the scales

My testimony in front of House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration. Gravity and political theatre. The latter, which led to a recess, peaks 1hr 30 minutes in. https://t.co/kErc8yS9DY

"It's hard to take Republicans seriously when they boast of their concern for exploited children while simultaneously promoting policies that would create the conditions for these children to be exploited."
