@ASPertierra First time I visited the island, asked cabbie at the airport to take me to old Havana where I was staying, he said oh no, you don’t want to go there, that’s where all the Blacks are.
A cold shot of everyday racism
@Arturo_OFarrill saw you last night in Ft Collins, CO. as an activist imm lawyer I am fervently glomping on to community. Thanks for the beautiful music. I for one appreciate the political messages in your work. Thx to you I will check out fandango music fest in TJ. Vive México
@ReichlinMelnick His words evince his steadfastness and history as a guerilla fighter. Doesn’t strike me as the kind of person to back down. Will be interesting to see how Trumps hyper aggressive, inhumane actions are received throughout the region
@wideofthepost The democratic complicity in restricting asylum over the past few years — keeping title 42 for a long time, then enacting a version Trumps asylum ban under Biden — has been so terribly harmful
@ReichlinMelnick@NicoletteGlazer But diligently monitoring one’s spam folder is not like checking the mailbox. It’s more akin to walking to the garbage can and going through the trash to see if there is any important mail there. Good thing us immigration attys have so much spare time / nothing better to do
@freedomrideblog The “interruption” was asking meaningful, hard questions that the DOS and their PR folks don’t want to address. In other words, they were doing journalism
@rebeccanagle@dnbrgr Cmon @POTUS ! Show compassion and allow this elderly leader return home. He’s 80 with serious health problems. Doing so would engender tremendous good will in Indian Country. @DebHaalandNM has told Biden how important this is. Remember Leonard survived oppressive boarding school
@rebeccanagle@dnbrgr Excellent piece on Dem Now! today featuring N Tilsen
Sounds like DOJ likely may have recommended clemency to Biden.
Releasing Leonard would redound throughout Indian Country and would be a political boon for Dems
@nickwestes Great reminder of the Wounded Knee anniversary and solidarity w/ both indigenous ppls struggles. the Palestinian resistance is a long one, and the narrative has shifted as fewer ppl around the world buy into Isr/US propaganda but given military realities optimism is hard now
@s_phia_ He used to lead one of those orgs that sends out a ton of emails I don’t remember the name. Americas Voice (?) maybe
C Munoz is sooo disappointing
@s_phia_ Sherry has been in the immigration field for a long time. Incredibly frustrating that insiders like these think that appeasing xenophobes is the way to make progress on immigration
@RDunhamDP@AMWClarkLaw@WCADP@AssoECPM @DeathPenaltyWW And if Biden doesn’t act, Trump will likely order those on federal death row executed as well, just as he did in his first term
