Maher Tarabishi is in ICE detention. He was the primary caregiver for his chronically ill son Wael.

Wael died yesterday, needlessly, without being able to say goodbye to his father.

Is this what we want America to be? Maher Tarabishi should be released now. He should be able to attend his son’s funeral.

Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years.

Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again.

Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what?

If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace.

Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi

@kyledcheney @mrddmia Cheering on Minnesota judges!!!

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

A doctor attempted to provide medical aid to Renee Good in Minneapolis. Trump regime ICE troopers stopped him, claimed to have medics, while blocking paramedics down the road as well.

When the doctor on scene identified himself as a physician, ICE responded:

"I don't care."

@ashtoncirillo You’re both wrong on all three points. Bore every one of her comments people are demanding MORE. The demands never stop. We fought 6 anti-trans bathroom bills in 2016-2017, then two ballot measures and won, suddenly Nov 5th, 2018 not a word about trans women in bathrooms.

@AshleyNerbovig Nothing better to do on a sunny Sunday than harass queer people. I love the straight bully pipeline - neighbors complain - cops harass - neighbors complain again. I wonder what their response time is to assaults are today or how they’re doing on the SA/DV backlog?!

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@Martina I see no problem with someone who trains hard winning and setting a record. What you hate is trans girls being successful and succeeding. Just like how men hated you playing tennis, it’s sad. 😔

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@ShoukatA @LauraLoomer @MikeWaltz47 Honestly. She looks trans AF. That’s why she hates trans people.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@LauraLoomer @MikeWaltz47 You’re disgusting and repugnant. Your witch hunt will come back to bite you in the ass. No one should be fired from their job simply for being transgender - it’s illegal under SCOTUS Bostock v Clayton County cretins like you don’t care, you just want to destroy the country.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@stephenwhittle @DeeDeeWeeks These dipshits have no life and nothing to do or live for. Their obsessive preoccupation of showing up to trans people’s pages just reveals how useless and meaningless their lives are. It’s pathetic on such a deep level. Grateful for all you do, these losers could never.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@stephenwhittle @cortex_radio 100% this! I transitioned in 1995/1996 as a 13/14 year old, it was amazing to see things get better until marriage equality was over - we all called it and saw it coming, but this tidal wave of bullshit has been relentless! 10 years of slogging on. You inspire & amaze me!

@elonmusk @nayibbukele Fascist.

@marcorubio Based on what class of Deportable Aliens in 8 USC 1227? What crime has he been convicted of? Or what category of inadmissible alien was he? The law is clear: you cannot simply arrest and deport people because their political beliefs do not align with yours.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@julianbarnes Really disappointed in your reporting. 1. You do not cite a single thing that was said that was “sexual”. 2. You fail to mention this “chat” was for an employee resource group - not an intelligence feed. 3. You cited no original reporting, just regurgitated right wing bs.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@IndiaWilloughby It also just adds gasoline to the fire and gives them what they want. Why give them more fundraising? Why give them more attention? Why sink to their level? Ignoring it is the adult thing to do and honestly her whole state only has 1 House Rep. people seem to forget this.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@IndiaWilloughby We disagree, In the US House - the Republicans rule all. Unlike the House of Commons - she can and will be stripped of committees, speaking privileges, and/or the right to address the House. They want her to “clap back” so they can strip her of privileges. Why take the bait?

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@ashtoncirillo Just because they don’t have an audit record available at the time of request is entirely different than “they didn’t send the money.” Can you point to reporting that the support never arrived?

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@ashtoncirillo @DickensIdit Eat shit Sarah.

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@pivotalventures @Monarch_Coll @erin_harkless Trumps order yesterday is divisive, mean spirited, and trans community is deeply impoverished and unable to fight back. Pivot has the resources to help create a culture shift to show how trans women ARE women and face the same sexism & discrimination. Where are your investments?

[Danni Askini @danniaskini]

@pivotalventures @Monarch_Coll @erin_harkless What is Pivot Ventures doing to support the 1.3 million American trans women being attacked by the Trump Administration? What trans woman led organizations have you funded? What litigation and leadership are you supporting? Pivot stands for women, where are you on trans issues?
