Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates.
Those dates have come and gone.
They’re still stuck here.

Hey, today I'm celebrating (?) 3 years of being a US citizen!
As a gift, I'd love for my fellow US citizens to check whether they're registered to vote, and help their friends and family do the same.
Just search online for "register to vote" + your state.

Not too late to turn this ship around!

This November, for the fifth time, I’m stepping up as a poll🗳️ worker because there’s a nationwide shortage, and our democracy needs us all.
As a first-generation 🇺🇸🇩🇴Dominican American, I’m deeply grateful for what this country’s offered my family and I believe that volunteerism is patriotism.
📣 ¡Pa’lante! Let’s do this together.

"Shockingly, the Miami Herald found that approximately two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held at Alligator Alcatraz, the Florida Everglades immigration detention center in July, were missing from ICE’s online database in August. Neither their attorneys nor their families know where they are. The United States government is now disappearing people."

Isabel Wilkerson in Caste on how ordinary Germans knew — they knew what was happening in the death camps — but the allure of looking down on and even hating despised minorities trumped what they knew was being done to those minorities.

Isabel Wilkerson in Caste on how Hitler did not represent a majority of Germans as he rose to power, had never held office before, but had the support of German elites who thought they could control him — and then he proved them wrong and whipped the nation into a frenzy of hate.

Julia Boyd in Travelers in the Third Reich on the puzzlement of many travelers in Germany as Hitler rose to power that warm-hearted and genial people with strong family values could countenance such cruelty towards Jewish neighbors — and how it was not possible to claim ignorance of what the Nazis were doing after Kristallnacht.

Bettina Stangneth quoted by Susan Neiman in Learning from the Germans on how many of those voting for Hitler, Putin, and Trump knew full well what they were voting for and the price others would pay when they cast these votes.

Alexander Wolff in Endpapers on how the refusal of many Germans now to court pity for their ancestors in the Nazi period is a tacit acknowledgement that most of those ancestors knew what was happening under Hitler.

🧵1/2 #HispanicHeritageMonth 👮🏽♂️🚓
✨Tonight was my first time attending the LLEGO Boston Gala—and I left inspired.
🗣️LLEGO #Boston is a volunteer-led group of Boston Latino law enforcement, public safety officers, emergency responders, and community leaders. Now in their 8th year, they continue to strengthen partnerships, mentorship, and trust across Boston’s diverse neighborhoods.
🚑As an EMT-B and a first-generation 🇺🇸🇩🇴Dominican who grew up in Dorchester’s Fields Corner, seeing this commitment…
2/2
…hit home.
🤝🏽 Grateful to be one of many who support their mission—and be the change we want to see. Representation matters, and diversity is a strength. This is how we build leadership and empowerment.

🧵1/ 🇺🇸 True patriots choose #democracy over authoritarianism. Country over party. #Humanity over hate.
Months ago, I spoke out about Project 2025, because I love my country. As a 🇩🇴🇺🇸First-Generation Adult Child of #Immigrants, I consider it my civic duty to speak truth—even when it was dismissed.
🎯That dismissal reminded me of the power of propaganda and the tragedy of denial:
• We all witnessed January 6th.
• We heard, “All I need is 11,000 votes.”
This is a "Protect Our Women" rally in the #UK serving up the cliche old #racist lie nonwhite #immigrants intend to rape white #women
So why am I posting it?
Because the #sexualAssault survivor does something brave
On stage she says she's disgusted with them, because it was multiple middle aged white men, not a foreigner
The racists immediately boot her from the stage
This is what all these far right movements are for:
Predators redirecting blame elsewhere
Every accusation is a confession
Both confrontations took place in a part of the federal building that is open to the public, & is routinely filled with #immigrants on their way to & from court hearings, agents waiting to make arrests, #activists there to #protest the arrests, & #journalists documenting the confrontations.
