A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

After refueling in Ireland (yes, Irish people called the gardaí), this ICE removal flight landed in India. Migrant passengers onboard were shackled at the ankles, wrists, and waist for at least 20 hours. Expecting two more private jet ICE flights to leave Mesa, AZ today. Follow this thread.

HEADS-UP, IRELAND. Another ICE flight headed your way. Based on info from human source, I expect this ICE flight — and/or another one tomorrow — to be unlawfully refouling Ukrainians through Poland.

Every organizer and activist I spoke to for this piece had the same message to share: "we're ready" "When and if we have an uptick in federal enforcement at the polls, it's going to get documented really, really quickly, and it's going to be beamed out to the world that it's happening.” 8/8

Many UNHCR web sites are outdated and, in some cases, give inaccurate information to asylum seekers. Many offices have stopped answering their phones. Best example: Pakistan.

As the first woman to lead @open-society.bsky.social, it is incredible to me that over 80 years, not a single woman has served as UN secretary-general. The world needs one who is visionary, bold, and ready to take this organization into the future.
