    There is no border crisis. There is no illegal immigration crisis. There is no low-skilled immigration crisis. There is no Central American immigration crisis. There is no immigration crisis.

    Why there is no border crisis

    They're charging the parents for the airfare. They're Charging THE PARENTS

    Immigrant families are being charged thousands of dollars in airfare to get children out of federally contracted migrant shelters. One family was asked to pay $4,000.

    THREE HOURS until the Federal Election Commission deadline for campaign donations. We've raised about $60K per candidate. Now is the time to find and nag a friend!

    Thread. Some thoughts from a white South African, directed at friends in the USA. I have been thinking about the Kennedy resignation, and what it looks like from here. I know that historical analogies are dangerous, but here goes.

    This is the worst fucking timeline.

    Well, here's an unnerving factoid: Trump's "most trusted" private banker at for 12 years was... Justice Kennedy's son!

    Blessed be anarchist antifascist organizing. Despite a DHS raid, breakfast is still being served. Pancakes and eggs.

    Year in which Bay Area cities reach their 2040 housing goals: — San Francisco: 2063 — San Jose: 2066 — Oakland: 2295 — Emeryville: 2211 — Richmond: 2458 — Concord: 2984 Concord will be *944 years* behind its housing deadline at current pace. Local control is a bad joke.

    Oh, good. I only have to wait until 2295 until there's an adequate supply of housing in Oakland. cc:

    Some of you are new at long odds and unfair fights. Some of you are new at losing. Some of you are new at life as you know it going fundamentally off the rails. Listen to those of us who have lost and failed and died and survived: it isn't over for as long as you insist it isn't.

    This is wild. All of us tech researchers are sitting here warning about the small, subtle ways algorithmic bias can support fascism — and meanwhile ICE has essentially created a button that prints “detain immigrant” when pressed

    I’ve criticized risk assessments before, but I’ve never seen a risk assessment hacked to give a bad score in every case: Would love to know more, send me info, contact in bio, and my dudes pls RT

    Tonight was our last Great Slate primary! Tech workers and fellow travelers raised $1.8M for eleven Congressional candidates in red districts, and tonight five of those candidates are the Democratic nominees. We have five chances to send a Republican home in November.

    In 2014, Dem turnout was abysmal and Rs picked up 9 Senate seats. That gave them the votes to block Obama from replacing Scalia. Decisions like today's — and those that will follow if Trump replaces Kennedy with a Gorsuch-like conservative — are the result. Midterms matter.

    Actually, I think a much better microcosm of why Trump won is how we learned last week that Trump is caging and torturing children, and the media's top focus one week later is whether liberals protesting it are being too rude.

    This is exactly why Trump won. Dems & the media dismissed controversies that seemed small and exaggerated (a lot of which certainly were.) But they were galvanizing for Republicans who are highly reactive to being told by the media “this is not a story.”

    DSA, which unapologetically calls for the abolition of ICE and demands free healthcare for all, just helped put a young Latinx woman in Congress. This movement is the best hope America has.

    Thread. Why the 0.25% doesn't want any protests:

    Recent events provide a great illustration that, while it is a social norm in polite society to support nonviolent protest, in the face of actual nonviolent protests, most political and social elites really want no protest at all.

    This is HUGE. It just got harder for the opioid, soda and alcohol industries to conceal their pay-offs for NIH and CDC "science." Thanks to for the opportunity and leadership, and for the loyal service.

    We discovered the Foundation and Foundation were illegally hiding corporate payments they received. Then we discussed this with congressional staff. Today, the House sent them a clear message: Follow the Law.
