If you saw #ImmigrationNation and it broke your soul, help us provide lawyers for the families.
RAICES provides legal help to fight cases in court and reunite children with their families.
Children also receive counseling after their trauma.
This is my daughter. 👇🏼

Let me be very clear. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in history will “collapse the world as we know it” then the world as we know it needs to collapse.

I haven't posted in over a year so in case something happens to me and people find this account, I want to make sure my last tweet is:
FREE PALESTINE
FVCK ICE
And may his death be as painful as the pain he brought on to others.

Queen Chaka Khan opening her Tiny Desk with “Tell Me Something Good” instantly made my Tuesday feel like a Friday 👑🔥
I love the story of how Stevie Wonder gave her this song after asking what her astrological sign was b/c she kept rejecting his other songs. She’s an Aries 😂

Award-winning journalist Suzy Exposito wrote the cover story about Crystal Waters for our newest publication, House Issues!
House Issues covers music, fashion, and the 90's club scene, an homage to Streetbeat Magazine of the 90's.

Did ya hear it? Our UVALDE documentary has been nominated for the PEABODY AWARD for Public Service. Our @futuroinvestigates team is thrilled! My amiga Dolores Huerta told me she believed our film-After Uvalde-was a teaching documentary. A solid investigative piece our film also+

Happening now at UCLA:
Students have lined up arm in arm in an effort to prevent law enforcement from getting through to the pro-Palestine encampment. Officers in riot gear stood by as rumors circulated about the encampment being dismantled.

I am not in nyc right now but my heart has broken yet again for my students at Barnard and Columbia who have told me that the most unsafe they felt was the day the NYPD first came on campus. These are kids. 20-year-olds. And grown men in full riot gear are taking them down. NO.

Have you heard of this birth accountability law?
I call it a "Fuck You, Pay Me" bill.
If states are going to force people to give birth, then pay for it.
The Pro Birth Accountability Act would require that the state cover:
✅reasonable living, legal, medical, psychological, and psychiatric expenses directly related to prenatal, intrapartal, and postpartal periods;
✅the child's health care (including vision and dental) until age 18;
✅if the child is born with a disability, all related costs forever;
✅automatic eligibility for SNAP, TANF, and WIC with no reduction in benefits until the child is 18;
✅ if the pregnant person becomes disabled as a result of the pregnancy, all related costs forever;
✅child support, if the bio father is out of the picture;
✅college;
✅ automatic eligibility to participate in a program that would pair a pregnant person with a specially trained nurse to provide home visits from early pregnancy through the child’s second birthday. (‼️‼️‼️)
The Pro-Birth Accountability Act is a phenomenal bill that should be replicated far and wide. Call your representatives and demand it.
Here's a link to the bill: rewirenews.link/32bPQ9S

Saw this film last night, great film.
Hadn't seen Dev Patel in this kind of role before. Pleasantly surprised.
@pitobash was great in this role, too!

So I know I got laid off from the paper in January... but I've been working every day since then as a freelance writer and editor. Freelancers aren't "funemployed." And my time isn't free. Get it right!

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
