Seeking refuge ≠ committing a crime. 🚸🚨

It’s a human right — plain and simple. ⚖️⬇️

#MigrantRights
“Seeking refuge is not a crime, and migrants should never be treated as criminals,” said Yumna Rizvi, CVT senior policy analyst, today at a press conference hosted by @ramirez.house.gov calling for Secretary Kristi Noem to answer to Congress on violations of U.S. and int'l law.

This is true.

It’s also really funny if you know what phrenology is.
“The questionable measure of intelligence known as ‘IQ’ has come under fire recently. We talked to 4 leading phrenologists to find out why.”

"Don't tell anyone" 😅 but we need to know
Peaceful demonstration sending a clear message.
Heed it or continue to witness escalation.
We, the people, will not tolerate what is happening.
I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

They’re fun and they’re energizing! It’s one thing to see the pics and know people are fighting back, but the encouragement & contagious optimism is VISCERAL when you are there. Does a lot to counteract the depression & anxiety of living through this time

Citizens want to be more protected by the EU.

According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, 66% of EU citizens want the EU to take a more important role in protecting them against global crises and security risks.

This view is particularly strong amongst younger Europeans.

Smilodon, an old star of paleomedia and paleoart of many sorts, is more than happy to tell stories of his work to anyone who can (or vaguely appears to) listen.
And to be fair to him, he has seen many things happen during his tenure

I saw it in 2017 at the women's march. Honestly, I feel jaded and cynical about this. We've been doing these mass protests for 8 plus years and somehow we're still worse off. Power doesn't care about peaceful protests like this. They can be ignored and will be.

There were very large crowds at the #HandsOff rallies against the Trump regime that took place in cities and towns across the USA today, likely millions participating overall.

It's good to see this level of mobilisation happening, they've got a fight on their hands to keep their republic.

"Stimming – short for “self-stimulatory behaviour” – is a form of self-soothing commonly seen in autistic people. If you see an autistic child or adult stimming, there’s no need to comment or intervene. From @draimeegrant.bsky.social:

Autistic stimming explained – and why stopping it can lead to burnout
Many autistic people engage repetitive movements, sounds, or actions that help them regulate their emotions and sensory experiences.

I can personally vouch for most of the people on Nora’s list (and the ones I can’t are just because I haven’t spoken to them yet)
I'm going to do a thread of Palestinians folks in Gaza who need help. Prices are skyrocketing.

I keep coming back to a bit in one of the Expanse novels where a character giving another one aid says that "It's just a drop in the bucket, but that's how buckets get filled."

It all adds up.
