Top Tweets for #DropTheIWord
There was a campaign called #droptheiword that got the word "illegal alien" switched out for "undocumented migrant" a few years ago. They pressured the Associated Press until they issued the guidance in their AP Stylebook, which is a pretty universal book of journalistic SOPs.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Control the language, control the narrative
When they stop entering our Nation illegally, I'll stop referring to them as "Illegals."

They are melting down because I forced Biden to go off script and he finally told the truth and admitted Laken Riley was murdered by an ILLEGAL!!!
Yes that’s right Joe.
ILLEGAL ALIEN!!!!
Repeat with us:
📢 No human is illegal.

Fear mongering is always wrong, no matter who does it. #DroptheIword
Still Changing the Subject: Examining Library of Congress Subject Headings and Considering Options for Change | by @stephroach | Council of Chief Librarians - California Community Colleges #critcat #droptheiword https://t.co/zMiTYQh93s
The decision is disappointing, but it isn't the end of the road. Catalogers will keep fighting until we #DropTheIWord for good.
Grateful for my system who stopped using these racist terms already. No human is illegal. #DropTheIWord
What do you think of the Library of Congress's changes? https://t.co/E1lrHJEiDt
@librarycongress is finally changing the subject, 5+ years later! Not the terminology that we would choose for revised headings, but a welcome step. #CritCat #CritLib #DropTheIWord

Gov. Polis signs immigration bills! Thank you @SenadoraJulie @Jackson4CO @LontineHD1 for working to make us one Colorado - where all residents have their dignity respected & have access to resources they pay into. #DropTheIWord #HousingForAll https://t.co/amBdTxlLD4 @YouTube
Disgusted by the xenophobia and anti-Latinx racism coming through from @JoeNBC on @MorrningJoe. Using “illegal” to refer to undocumented immigrants paired with outrage at unaccompanied minors “jumping the line” of our immigration system. Do better. #droptheiword
So proud to host the first screening in Europe of the @ChangeTheSubjct documentary. Greece knows about refugees, knows about immigration, and their everyday struggles. #changethesubject #droptheiword https://t.co/HkFXgeuOy1
We're disappointed to not see comment from anyone who's been detained in NYC jails, and some repeat of the language the bills seek to eliminate #droptheiword
Re-humanizing immigrant communities in the age of Trump, practice 1: #droptheiword. Follow the lead of @RaceForward, @Colorlines, @DefineAmerican, @PresenteOrg, @NHMC, and @joseiswriting. #nooneisillegal #nohumanisillegal #nohumanbeingisillegal #abolishice #radicalcopyeditor
@el_pais lamentable que @el_pais use lenguaje inadecuado y un término incorrecto que criminaliza y estigmatiza a un grupo social: NO HAY PERSONA ILEGALES, puede haber acciones “ilegales” - mejor usar migrantes no autorizados, irregulares, indocumentados, sin papeles, etc. #droptheiword
Anyone writing about immigrant communities needs to follow the lead of @RaceForward, @Colorlines, @DefineAmerican, @PresenteOrg, & @NHMC and #DropTheIWord. Latest post: counter to @APStylebook guidance, NEVER use "illegal" in immigration-related contexts. https://t.co/qayfQq5Rp9
Human beings aren’t ‘illegal’ and immigrants aren’t ‘aliens’. Proud of my brother @JoaquinCastrotx for introducing the CHANGE Act to eliminate our government’s use of these dehumanizing and racist terms. https://t.co/Y6UQ1P9MiM
There are many powerful moments from yesterday’s #DREAMandPromiseAct mark-up. Here’s one from @RepJayapal calling on Congress to #DropTheIWord. Agreed. Words Matter. 💜
No human being is "illegal." I urged my @HouseJudiciary colleagues to stop dehumanizing immigrant communities and instead use the term "undocumented." #DreamAndPromiseNOW
It was just the 3 year anniversary of this decision by the Library of Congress: https://t.co/DyYQmROMoo
What happened next? #ChangeTheSubject #DropTheIWord #critcat #critlib
Excellent article by Amanda Ros at Texas A&M: 'The bias hiding in your library'. Great explanation of cataloging and why language matters!
