It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

Reminder this Veterans Day: While comprehensive data on the relationship between military service & incarceration is not available, one thing is clear -
The U.S. has left many veterans behind & does not provide enough support for one of the most vulnerable populations. 🧵

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
The carceral system is a deadly place, and it's only gotten worse in recent decades. Prison is a mental health crisis in and of itself, and too many incarcerated people contemplate and/or die by suicide – even after release.

Most of immigration lawyer Christopher Kinnison’s clients in rural Louisiana are detainees. Every week, more calls come in, and Kinnison hasn’t been able to process what his days at work are becoming.
