Things to ask yourself if you think someone's wrong (1/n) 1. Is there another interpretation of their words? EXAMPLE: A sign said “No human is illegal.” I thought it meant it was wrong to enforce immigration law. But it meant labeling people “illegals” was stigmatizing language.

I think it means a bit more than that; labeling them "people that need to be deported" will not solve the problem. It carries the idea that the current implementation of aspects of the immigration law is so unjust that these require principled disobedience until it is changed

I agree with Julia's point, which seems not entirely unobvious, I just don't think the example is a particularly good one.

My interpretation was that Julia made the choice to share a personal example. Something she experienced or interpreted as a result of her own world view. While there may be better examples, critiquing her personal experience detracts from the core message of the tweet.

The personal experience was probably carefully curated to make sure that Julia does not distract by displaying herself as neither overly virtuous nor politically aligned and nothing she particularly identified with.

Perhaps. Still not the point of the tweet.
