@itmeansdream I wouldn’t say my hs experience was typical by any means, but I took more than twice that many before I graduated (and that was more than 10 years ago).

@PinstripeBungle It’s a truly horrific time to be a (mostly) single issue voter when that single issue is immigration. I hate it.

@eliz_blackstock I have successfully convinced my extremely New England husband of the deliciousness of Dr. Pepper and I’m honestly so proud

[Katelyn @alaskatelyn]

I’m glad so many folks are coming out to support immigrants & against the ridiculous petition. But it is clear to people that you do have to be a registered voter (ie citizen) to run for office, right?

The Biden administration will not extend the 2-year immigration parole status of Venezuelans or any migrant allowed into the U.S. via the CHNV sponsor policy, @USCIS announces, confirming our reporting.

“There is no re-parole process under any of the CHNV parole processes.”

NEW: Kamala Harris' tough-on-migration pitch at the border points to a shifting national mood

Harris has shifted from her 2019 stances and proposes tougher asylum laws and border enforcement.

Immigration policy will till right no matter who wins in 2024. https://t.co/W8zEUvl7P2

I feel like it should be mentioned in the Haitian migrant conversation that our country has actively destroyed Haiti for like two centuries

[Aura Bogado @aurabogado]

It's easy to make fun of Trump and Vance's racist, anti-Haitian hatred. It's a lot harder to be critical of Biden's implementation of Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant policies, and Harris's focus on prosecution and deportation.

[Chris Wade @saywhatagain]

Not a novel thought but just completely disgusting the extent Democrats have abandoned the immigration framing to conservatives so the only possible conversation is ambiguous dick waving over “strength” & “crime” on the border. Total abdication of leadership and messaging.

NEW: Senior Biden administration officials are considering actions that would make President Biden’s tough but temporary asylum restrictions almost impossible to lift, officials said Wednesday.

The adult population in Massachusetts with limited English proficiency grew by 50% in the last 20 years, according to a report from @MassINC and @UMASSDonahue. https://t.co/ZnW7SASCYY

It was a long fought battle.

As we celebrate and welcome the TPS Extension redesignation, we encourage the Biden administration to take the natural next step to cease deportation flights to Haiti immediately.

[UndocuBlack Network @UndocuBlack]

.@POTUS @ICEgov @DHSgov has removed far more Haitians than the last three presidents combined. Extending & redesignating #TPSforHaiti is the right call. Deportation flights to Haiti now must be stopped. #StopDeporationFlights #TPSforHaiti #ImmigrationIsABlackIssue

@TracyNovick Transit has the ability to track multiple nearby routes even if they don’t use the same stop (and in a less clunky way than the bus tracker map - which as you point out is not great on a phone)

[Katelyn @alaskatelyn]

@TracyNovick I’ve noticed recently accurate estimates are showing up in the Transit app for me as well, but I’m not sure if it’s pulling from the gps data or just more people are using the same app. I cross reference with the bus tracker and pay 0 attention to the print schedule 😂

[Katelyn @alaskatelyn]

@TracyNovick Spoke to someone from the RTA today who says they’re about to do a massive overhaul/update of signs, which is much needed!

[Katelyn @alaskatelyn]

@DLind Thankful for this analysis! 🧐

[Adam Isacson @adam_wola]

I fear the Biden administration has laid the groundwork for a massive, costly future push—perhaps by another admin.—to build up the expedited removal capacity, detention facilities, and deportation planes it would take to keep almost everyone out of these flowcharts' green zone.
