“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.
What. No.
Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

But in terms of public health messaging, it won’t matter to many if the study is profoundly flawed. It won’t matter that the data haven’t been peer-reviewed.
Vaccination rates will continue to plummet and the witch hunt on public health will accelerate.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Amnesty for our neighbors, accountability for the stormtroopers, this is the only way forward and the Dems aren't asking for it. We must demand the end of this system.
Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

"If abortion opponents really wanted the nation's children to be properly educated about anatomy and biology, they wouldn't be opposed to comprehensive sex education. They wouldn't be attacking transgender youth and eradicating their ... health care. They wouldn't be attacking scientific evidence."
Ohio Republican State Rep. Melanie Miller has introduced legislation that would require Ohio public schools to show a video about “Baby Olivia,” inaccurately detailing fetal development, to students as young as the third grade.
GOP Wants to Mandate “Fetal Development Education.” It’s Anti-Abortion Nonsense.
Republicans can’t seem to convince adults to vote against abortion, so they’re trying to brainwash kids instead.
