in the realm of politics, journalism, policy & advocacy - many people's careers are nipped in the bud before they even get started when and if they express public solidarity with #Palestine
ask literally anyone in the US who has done solidarity work for Palestine in college

At its core, abuses at the border are not about whether some CBP officers are good or bad people.
It’s about how our border policies are gravely dehumanizing, & strip all involved of human decency.
Once you order people to violate others’ rights, a culture can quickly devolve.

‘You don’t think that having 10,000 officers in a violent, racist group sharing rape memes of members of Congress points to any concern of a dehumanized culture?’ — @AOC pressed DHS Sec. Kevin McAleenan after he denied a dehumanized culture within Border Patrol

allowed? people having free reign to throw around opinion pieces, legislations, etc, around what muslim women should be 'allowed' to do or not allowed to do is so old. dictating what people should or shouldn't wear of all things - how is this a news headline?

The cruelty is the goal. It’s called “deterrence” - a policy stance that if our country inflicts enough pain on refugees, they will think twice before believing America is worth their dreams & aspirations.
Only policy change can end cruelty, not blank checks to the status quo.

This moment captures what it’s like for women in CBP custody to share a cramped cell—some held for 50 days—for them to be denied showers for up to 15 days and life-saving medication. For some, it also means being separated from their children. This is El Paso Border Station #1.

These are concentration camps.
According to concentration camp experts, people begin to die due to overcrowding, neglect, and shortage of resources.
We saw all three of those signs on our trip yesterday. Another person died yesterday.
And those are the deaths we know about.

Devastating, dignified, powerful presentation by my sister Suzanne Barakat at the arraignment of the domestic terrorist responsible for the murder of #Deah, #Yusor, and #Razan.
Keep the Barakat and Abu Salha families in your prayers, and support the work of #OurThreeWinners.
