My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I have a lot of respect for Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @haleaziz.bsky.social and have talked to both many times in the past. That the Times lets them be so blunt about what is happening with the U.S. refugee admissions program is a good sign of how much the Trump admin is not even trying to deny it.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

This was such a clear nothing-burger from the start. All the feigned outrage while very real racist agendas were mounted on DEI and the authenticity of black achievement.
And such a pointless reason to personally attack a young actress

American Eagle was dragged into an online outrage cycle after conservative media figures claimed that liberals were offended by the clothing company's ads featuring Sydney Sweeney and a denim-themed pun about her "great jeans."
We checked the data. That wasn't true.

I'm kind of shocked that anyone is still proposing technocratic solutions to the "debate" over immigration. Even if this were a good idea (and it is not), Republican elites and media will never tell their base about it. You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem!

As someone who has learned from and reported on families who had loved ones disappeared in Guatemala, Chile, and Uruguay, I can say that countries rarely fully recover from the trauma and harm of disappearances. At the same time I have no idea how to report on this happening here in the US right now

Dozens of rabbis were arrested for demonstrating against the ongoing conflict in Gaza and demanding increased aid.
The protests, organized by groups like Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza, called for an end to the "blockade" of Gaza and urged the delivery of humanitarian aid.
