Important thread about what is happening to immigrants after they are snatched off the streets. We have to face this and take action, we cannot allow this to continue.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I will say, there is something in how this reactionary political movement nationalizes southern plantation cultural production to enact their fascist plan to break nation-states into corporately controlled economic zones. Talk about the afterlives of slavery. Whew.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

This is arguably a blueprint for how Black people should engage with the current moment if you ask me. We should allow our survival to inspire community, art, and intellectual thought that expands what opportunity is for us even amidst the chaos. #blacksky
Just finished this right after having read @hofrench.bsky.social's Second Emancipation, and it convinced me that the African & African diaspora anti-colonial thinkers of the 1940-1975 period constituted one of the great intellectual movements in the history of humankind.
Second Enlightenment level.

We think of the postwar world order as having been built by the US. But as Getachew makes clear, that world order was completed by the intellectual giants of the African, pan-African and African diaspora liberation movements.
It is no coincidence Trump & Miller are targeting its fundamental tenet.
