“There was a time when rural Guatemalans never left home. But back to back hurricanes, failed crops and extreme poverty are driving them to make the dangerous trek north to the U.S.” A thoughtful, humanizing look at climate migration from @sabrod123 politico.com/news/magazine/…
I couldn't get the "Willie Horton" conversation between @ahilan_toolong & @SecMayorkas at the #Biden100days @UCLAImmigration conference out of my head. Check out my op-ed @Slate slate.com/news-and-polit…
that’s how bad it is

VICTORY! NY budget includes $2.1 billion to #FundExcludedWorkers! This fund will support immigrants excluded from relief at a level that reflects a year without income. GRACIAS @FEWCoalition allies & the fierce hunger strikers who put their bodies on the line for 23 days!
Such a powerful hunger strike and so unacceptable that it is even necessary. I’m a proud member of MRA and an embarrassed New Yorker right now. #FundExcludedWorkers

Turns out that seeking refuge in another country when a natural disaster hits home is not a bad idea after all. Right, @tedcruz?

The wealth of the 20 richest Americans is larger than this entire “stimulus.” Tax the rich to save humanity.
The billionaires won’t leave. (They’re richer than ever and doing just fine.) The sky won’t fall when we tax them. (It never does.) #TaxtheRich!

Solidarity with these students! The young people of New York know our city needs a remote option. It’s time we listen to them.
Hundreds of kids walked out of Brooklyn Tech today to protest the continuation of in person school during the Omicron wave and to call for a remote option
It’s time to end the filibuster, protect the right to vote, and save our democracy. It’s what we must do while we still can.

Win or lose, we will all remember the Biden Admin's continued defense of draconian, pointless, mass immigration prison as one of its starkest failures. Right up there w the failure to rescind Title 42. Definitely on the wrong side of history. /end
Best of luck to the brilliant Matt Adams @NWIRP who has fought these human rights battles for years, alongside Michael Kaufman @ACLU_SoCal, @DavidColeACLU @WangCecillia & others on these superb teams. (Full disclosure: I’m co-counsel for @Cilp). 8/
Numerous rigorous studies consistently show 1) that immigrants released on supervision programs come to court, americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/measu… @Ingrid_Eagly (96% of those w attys attend all hearings); and 2) that detention doesn’t make us safer. nytimes.com/2019/09/23/ups… @adambcox 6/
The details will be technical, but don't lose the forest for the trees: immigration "detention" is TOTALLY unnecessary – the worst of mass incarceration, caging people in the face of overwhelming evidence that doing so serves no purpose. @nolasco909 @Alex_Rivera @nourn_ny 5/
I don’t actually care much about whether the VP’s new comms director sincerely apologized or not. Rhetoric is rhetoric. I want actions. I want them to shut down immigrant detention centers. I want them to cut ICE and CBP’s budget. I want them to stop normalizing the end of asylum
And just like that, I officially became a New York City Councilmember. On May 29th, 2020, I left my quarantine to attend my first protest after the murder of George Floyd.
It’s #2022. Dangerous times are still full of possibilities thanks to the hard work of so many of us. So we plot peace, demand justice & create a healthy, affordable future. We are the authors of our future. Time to write! Together.
Here's me being a broken record: “The truth is, there are many opportunities for [Biden] to release people, but instead, they’re really doubling down on detention right now. They have full discretion to release all of these individuals.” #FreeThemAll vox.com/policy-and-pol…

If you are ordering Chinese food or other kinds of takeout this week, please tip at least 30%. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, tip 50% or more. Yes, even for takeout. Tip generously for the time away from their families, for Omicron, for extra PPE, for all the crap of 2021.
