A pro-immigrant rally in Norfolk, VA today.
Hosted by the group "South Hampton Roads Indivisible," the demonstration held at the federal courthouse to protest immigration policies and lend support to those facing deportation.
"We're all from immigrants, and they bring so much to the country."

ICE using military-chartered flights to deport Africans is not “law enforcement”...it’s political theatre with human toll. When borders are militarized...people become props. This must end. Propaganda doesn’t justify tearing lives apart. Many of these planes are un-trackable.

Joy Reid. Karen Attiah. Gene Robinson. Jonathan Capehart. There are lots of others. Circumstances differ. But really sad to see new organizations not keeping super-talented Black staffers. The news industry spent decades talking about diversity, improved some from 2014-2020 and is now going back.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.
Thread incoming.

The Washington Post Fired Karen Attiah, But They Only Elevated Her
The Washington Post fired Karen Attiah, their last Black opinion columnist, because she posted about America's history of coddling white violence. Well, she's got a few things to get off her chest.

Biden should have stopped Netanyahu when it was clear that BiBi didn't want the war to end!
Trump continued to send and weapons. Now BiBi is going after his neighbors!
In the meantime the Palestinians have been treated horribly! I am so disgusted with the people world over for leaving them to die.

🔥🔥🔥This is the trailer to my film “True Believers At The Insurrection” it’s my first film (at 80) I didn’t think I could do it. But I did. When we walk thru the fear, anything is possible. I could not have done it without the support of old twitter. So grateful to those who helped

The reason it’s going so fast is because Trump is sick and the ultimate goal is to run the entire government with AI out of the White House. That’s why they stole our Social Security data. That’s why RFK Je is firing everybody that’s why they’re firing the feds all of it.

🔥🔥🔥In a matter of seconds TEN ICE agents grab a man after his court hearing.
There is no warrant. There is no reason. There is no due process.
Their names are on a list when they arrive at Jacob J Javits immigration court. Disappeared. Leaving only pain.

In a manner of seconds, this man who came in for his scheduled immigration hearing was arrested. We don’t know why. He’s disappeared forever and thrown into the deportation hell hole. 8 masked and armed ICE agents arrested him. All of them have continuances, denied due process.
