Thank you @silkys13.bsky.social "This moment implores us to recognize how the existing deportation machine & prison-industrial complex enable Trump’s agenda...prisons aren’t merely sites of punishment for an ever-expanding list of criminal offenses, they are a machinery of repression"
The struggles of Palestinian activists are undeniably connected to migrant justice.

“We must see immigration and abolition struggles as interconnected and organize to undo systems of state violence as we fight against Trump’s agenda.”

New op-ed out today! "We believe this rush to comply is a sign that universities are willing to become an institutional wing of the new segregationists."

This op-ed was written with fierce love for our communities. That's who we serve. We will not be erased.
