Our eyes remain on Gaza

راننده تاکسی: انگار امشب قراره جنگ بشه.
دختر: برای ما که امروز صبح جنگ شروع شد!

Very telling how this could apply to both Israel and Iran.

Terrible night that bodes ill for the people of MENA.

Israelis huddle in bunkers as Iranian drones & missiles enter over dense neighbourhoods.

Iranians huddle at gas stations, panicked & buying supplies.

Palestinians continue to suffer terribly.

This spells good for no one.

Today I had a call with an extraordinary woman. She's been at the forefront of the Israeli human rights community for 30 years, and has witnessed, every day, the full horror of it all. And yet she has a smile that can light up a room. And so I thought of this photo I took in…

Immigrants play a vital role in boosting our economy and contributing to America's success! Let's recognize and appreciate the immense value immigrants bring to our nation's prosperity. America's Voice

I feel like today it is also important to remember that Sarajevo (and Bosnia at large) was defended by Bosnian men and women, who were not really trained to be in the army. It was defended by punks in converse who suddenly had to become the resistance.

We owe them everything.

Chilling 🧵 of remembrance and caution

“Unless you’re Israel, then we will send you more weapons”, he continued.

This 🧵 gets at a real problem in our movement spaces

This is the discussion/starting point in many movement spaces, making it difficult to build strategy. It’s why we can spend forever talking about how to decolonize our minds but have built little power to counter a genocide.

This administration like the one before it has made asylum a near impossibility. There’s no option for people anymore, so this is what we are left with….

Also this part

What gets lost in the photos and media coverage is that most people have no idea how asylum works, or that the Republicans (with little objection from Biden and Dems by the way) have been systematically dismantling asylum entirely

Illegal, Immoral, and a stupid stunt

In the DMV area, thousands of Salvadorans with Temporary Protected Status—most who originally entered undocumented in the 1980s and 1990s—work in construction jobs, often in senior roles given their wealth of experience. They are literally building the region to fuel its growth.

Breaking overnight — A panel of federal appeals court judges continued to block Texas from arresting and jailing migrants under a contentious state immigration law known as SB4, keeping a hold on the measure while it weighs its legality.

Our hearts are with every person impacted by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. Among them, immigrant people–visionaries who are improving  our communities every day and ensuring we have the freedom to move around our cities. thebaltimorebanner.com/community/tran…

.Global Refuge has called Baltimore home for 25+ years. This catastrophe has already disproportionately impacted our city’s immigrant community, one that often toils in demanding & dangerous jobs to the benefit of all who call Baltimore home.

FYI #SB4 gives TX law enforcement permission to detain and jail migrants *suspected* of crossing the US southern border without authorization. It would also give judges the power to deport migrants.
Thank you Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center + so many others for your tireless advocacy on this.

Happy #Nowruz , everyone! 🌱🪻🧿
