No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Let that sink in. And think forward as the numbers grow holding them becomes inconvenient. The Nazis gassed and cremated. History will record America’s solution. Just as unfavorably.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

How humiliating for the US and a party in power that professes to be pro birth. I guess it’s not their problem after the child is born.

Ellison: "The real problem with the case is not that the judge didn't understand the gravity or facts. The problem is there is no legal precedent for this. We've never seen a moment in American history where through force of arms, an administration was trying to bully a state into submission."

Circulate this please. This is insanity 👇

Lawyer: I’ve been representing a mother & her 5 children. The 2 youngest children have lived 20% of their lives in this facility. We’ve had awful reports of mental health deterioration. This facility is a jail. It’s unconscionable that there are children at this facility.

A 🧵re protective masks for ICE protesters (in Minneapolis MN and elsewhere). I am not a scientist, but my BF has a PhD in inorganic chemistry and provided this info to me so I could provide it to you. Please share and re-post it widely. It may save someone, esp. from green gas ICE is using (1/x)
