ICE

There is a thread on r/AskReddit right now titled, “People who have had a direct run-in with ICE, or know a friend or family member who has been detained or deported, what is the one thing you want the average American to hear about that experience?”

It is full of very distressing stories about the awful place America is in now. Here’s some of them I screenshotted, because I think they need to be both archived and spread around.


Here’s a headline from the UK today:


What has happened to America? What will happen to my own country?

I thought it was important to talk about Palestine because it’s an issue that’s very dear to my heart. I have friends in Gaza who are working as frontline workers, as doctors right now in the north of Gaza, to provide care for pregnant women and for school children to create schools in the refugee camps. And it’s an issue that’s really close to my heart for many reasons.

Security services missed five opportunities to stop the Manchester bomber

mehreenkasana:

The Manchester bomber was banned from a local mosque and reported by the Muslim community around him multiple times. UK authorities didn’t act.

I repeat: Not once, not twice, not thrice. Five times. They were alerted five times by the Muslim community around the bomber and were ignored.

In honor of Transgender Day of Visibility, I would like to take a moment to pay tribute and acknowledge all the trans people who have chosen not to be visible, and remind you that your identity is still valid even if no one knows about it, and you are no less brave for choosing to remain invisible especially if that means it’s safer for you in your current living/ working situation.

In spite of how much hatred there is towards the lgbtq+ community, the little signs of acceptance make me incredibly happy. My brother referring to a trans woman on tv as a woman. Girls holding hands getting smiled at by other girls. All-gender restrooms getting created. How the gsa at my school made rainbow pins, and you find a kid in every friend group with one. How I’m able to talk about liking more than one gender with my friends. When a man casually mentions his boyfriend, and he is just greeted by smiles. Although they seem small, they are so huge to me.
