My diploma came in and this is my mom’s reaction. I was in shambles. She’s my hero. She left Honduras so I could live and attain a degree. She left Honduras for our safety. She left our homeland to create a new home. #UndocuGrad#HeretoStay#UMDAlum#LatinGrad#Futuresobright
AWFUL. A family pleaded with ICE to deport their ill father so he could get out of detention. They even offered to pay for plane tickets. But ICE kept him jailed for two months after he accepted removal, his health deteriorating daily. He died hours after he was finally deported.
Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
Maria Flores Garcia, a University of Maryland student, was detained after going to an immigration check-in with her mom in Baltimore last week. https://t.co/Ok6T89k1Fw
ICE is raping girls in concentration camps. Report confirmed girls tested positive for pregnancy, and no one is talking about this!
Every pregnant girl in ICE concentration camps needs to have their babies genetically tested to find their rapists.
RAPE is internationally recognized as a method of GENOCIDE and a crime against HUMANITY.
@ropattinsn It’s more about how long do you want to be heartbroken for? You want to start now, read the book. You want to wait? Wait till the movie comes out. 😩
ICE brought a detainee to White Memorial hospital in LA for medical care, then demanded to be in the room for the exam. The hospital said no. Agents lined up across the ambulance entrance and blocked it for two hours. Nobody at the hospital asked for any of it, and they had to divert ambulances for the whole two hour blockade. They blockaded a hospital. There is no reforming this. Abolish ICE.
Just wanted to bring attention to the fact Puerto Rico has been going through a power crises these past couple months, and after begging for help for months, Zohran Mamdani the mayor of New York helped raise $280,000. I’m glad the President has done nothing but give millions to Israel but not to our own American land. Thank you mayor Zohran for helping my people. 🇵🇷❤️
Call me crazy...
But maybe the fact that 3 MILLION people in Paraguay just had their salaries, pensions, and savings frozen...
...while every American news network spent the last 48 hours hyper-focused on election night...
is not a coincidence.
Ueno Bank.
60% of all adults in the country.
Accounts locked.
App dead.
Branches guarded by police.
Central bank stepped in after the solvency ratio cratered below half the legal minimum.
State pension funds exposed for hundreds of millions.
Depositors locked out overnight.
And almost nobody in U.S. media is talking about it.
Because election coverage is easier.
And infinitely more convenient.
Y’all. We are literally witnessing a coup attempt going on live in Brazil. Bolsonaro is losing the election badly, so his people in state and local leadership are grounding flights, canceling public transportation going to Lula strongholds. Massive voter suppression. Supreme Court had to intervene to mandate 2hrs extra at the polls. Mixed reports on how many polling stations are respecting the ruling. Whew!
Grey’s Anatomy just turned a hospital into a battƖefɩeld.
When immɩgratiön authorities come knocking, these doctors face a brʋtal choice: obey the law or protect a life.
Rules are about to be brokɛn, careers put on the line, and nobody is backing down.
This woman was raped at Cornell. She explains that her rapist got an essay - just like Jane Doe's case.
A CNN investigation found that "half of the 16 Cornell University students found responsible for sexual assault over a recent 4 year period avoided suspension or expulsion. Instead, they were punished with written reprimands, disciplinary probations, and extra study programs."
