It's starting to seem real... Working on the page proofs of Smuggler today
🚨Italy detains our rescue ship #Aurora despite 71 people missing since the horrific Easter shipwreck in the Mediterranean. After rescuing 44 people stranded for FIVE DAYS on an abandoned oil platform, we now face a fine of up to €10,000 ➡️ sea-watch.org/en/italy-det...
Thanks
I just finished this and EVERYONE should read it - they'll understand why DHS & CBP are ordained by the Supreme Court to engage in these practices. We were subject to them in Nogales AZ returning from Mexico - 2.5 hrs in a cement room w/no outside contact available. US citizens- thanks 4 the book
The Vice President’s parents-in-law came to the United States as foreign students, at the University of California.
This shipwreck could have been prevented if the @ec.europa.eu had created a search and rescue program. The dying at sea needs to stop - safe passages now!
Impeach him
We publicly launched the *Oahu Rapid Response Coalition (ORRC)* today to witness and hold ICE accountable on the island
ICE arrests are up over 461% during Trump’s “mass deportation” campaign of terror

“Once the Border Patrol operated primarily in the shadows of the borderlands,” Reece Jones writes. “After watching neighbors tear gassed, pepper-sprayed and beaten while exercising their right to observe police activity, it is impossible to look away.”
I wrote about the racism, violence, and impunity of the Border Patrol in my book Nobody is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States if you want to learn more www.counterpointpress.com/books/nobody...
