As CR scholars and practitioners, we need to be doing more work to learn from activists about how they build integrative power. And in this work, we need to engage in our own reflexive practice to ensure we are making constructive contributions to their work.
@CMCharlesAllen@DCDPW@DDOTDC They cleared two stops on H NE today. It was good not to see kids and parents standing in the street in those sections. Have you heard anything about a systematic approach to clear them in the coming days? I noticed for example the stop on 8th just off H was untouched.
@MayorBowser 4 days after the storm and the #snow has not been removed from the bus stops. Last night people were literally standing in the street on H St NE waiting for the bus at about 9 PM, with black ice and cars going by. We need your help. This is dangerous and unacceptable
@CMCharlesAllen@charlesallen The bus stops have still not been dug out. There are literally people standing on the road on H st trying to catch a bus while cars drive by on black ice. Dangerous and irresponsible.
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport.
Yesterday, agents rear-ended a car being driven by a 16-year-old, with her 15-year-old brother in the passenger seat.
Instead of calling a guardian, agents photographed the 15-year-old… and then took him.
The 16-year-old showed agents her U.S. passport…. But, that did not matter, they still handcuffed her and threw her into their unmarked car.
Both minors.
Both unaccompanied.
Detaining children, ignoring proof of citizenship, and hauling minors away, after rear ending the car they were driving, is not immigration enforcement.
That is child trafficking.
And it’s happening in broad daylight by the Trump administration.
Share this.
Document everything.
Demand accountability.
Because if federal agents can do this to kids with a passport, no one is safe.
From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.
10 years ago, 18-year-old Mike Brown was killed by a Ferguson police officer. He should still be here today.
In his name, we will never stop fighting for justice, accountability, and an end to police brutality.
Rest in power, MB2.
When DC is going to apply for the funds from the IRA for heat pumps and other upgrades @DOEE_DC ? Lots of people are asking and NY and other states already have funds flowing to people. Looks like we are still in the planning phase and other states got it together much faster
