ICE rolled an armored military vehicle with a gunner in the roof through an immigrant community in Queens. There are no sanctuary cities, no "safe spaces," in a fascist America. Look at what you are being conditioned to accept as the "new norm," turning your head away cuz "it's not happening to me," & waiting for the 2020 election. If you don't act to stop this NOW you are complicit. Join us in the streets next Saturday!

In light of the #CongregationBethIsrael hostage situation in Colleyville, TX, I thought these thoughts ought to be shared, as well as some of my own: - There is no excuse for attacking Jews for being Jewish or exercising their right to worship - that is the definition of antisemitism. - Do not let anyone get away with using this horrific event to bolster Islamophobia or anti-immigration sentiment. Give that shit zero space. - Shut down anyone who uses this attack to say “this is why we need good guys with guns”. This is equivalent to the gun-lovers who say that the Shoah could have been prevented if more Jews had guns - it is WILDLY offensive and victim-blaming of the worst kind. People shouldn’t need to be told this but sadly they do, and I’m tired of doing it. Our tragedies aren’t an opportunity for you to prove a point. The fear of the pogroms, burnings, massacres, gas chambers, never really leaves you, and events like this are reminders that it might always happen again unless enough of our neighbors speak the hell up. Please read Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker’s beautiful words in the wake of the #TreeofLife shooting, and witness his track record of interfaith allyship and advocacy for immigrants and refugees. That is what Judaism (and humanity) should be all about - #TikkunOlam and standing up for our neighbors in their times of need. Mir Veln Zey Iberlebn.

Immigrants display so far! I'm having so much fun! But we need more books featuring immigrants! Especially ones from where many of our kids are from - El Salvador, Honduras, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and more. Right now, we have some great books that will be wonderful Windows, but we need more Mirrors - as soon as I get approved for purchasing in the fall, I have a bunch of titles to order :) #librariansofinstagram #schoollibrary #schoollibrarian #newlibrarian #immigrants #immigrantsarewelcomehere https://www.instagram.com/p/CRM8wk8M0Vs/?utm_medium=tumblr
#Repost @the_operating_system ・・・ 239 immigrant children (some as young as 9 months) who have been separated from their parents are now in the care of NYC agencies including the Cayuga Center — Spanish speaking foster families, supplies and donations are sorely needed. More info in this photo - with phone number and address for drop off. Rally, #nyc, this is viable and doable. #resist #cometogether #wecandoit #riseup #ittakesacity #action #keepfamiliestogether #immigrantsarewelcomehere #nohatenofear

Our Dreamer friends ARE HERE TO STAY!! 🌟 A narrowly divided U.S. Supreme Court extended a life-support line to some 650,000 so-called DREAMers on Thursday, allowing them to remain safe from deportation for now, while the Trump administration jumps through the administrative hoops that the court said are required before ending the program. .⠀⠀ The vote was 5-4 with Chief Justice John Roberts casting the decisive fifth vote that sought to bridge the liberal and conservative wings of the court. ⠀⠀ DACA recipients have gotten advanced degrees; they have started businesses; they have bought houses and had children who are U.S. citizens; and 90% have jobs. Indeed, 29,000 are health care professionals, working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. ⠀⠀ So popular has the DACA program been that the Senate Republican leadership not once, but twice, worked closely with Democrats to work out a deal to protect the Dreamers, only to have Trump renege at the last moment. ⠀⠀ What Trump will do before the November election is anyone's guess. The heart of his political base is opposed to immigration in just about every form. But this is no ordinary time. ⠀⠀ Amid pandemic and racial crisis, the court's ruling is likely to focus on yet another issue where the president is at odds with public sentiment, while at the same time putting Republican officeholders between the rock of their president's views and the hard place of their own reelection bids. -via @npr .

Asylum seekers trapped in crowded concentration camps can’t physically distance. Political prisoners can’t just stay home. Therefore, making sure we took all possible precautions, today @resistancecompany and I went down to the governor’s office, and we took back what he stole from them, took back their dignity, and took back their humanity. Now he’s under my feet, under your feet, under their feet, under OUR feet. Ain’t gonna let no system walk all over us. ✊🏴💥📢🚙⚡️ . In solidarity with @cosechanyc @cosecha_harvest and @closethecampsnyc, we DEMAND that @nygovcuomo release all immigrants being unjustly held in detention centers, and all prisoners trapped in cages, especially our hero #RamseyOrta, before these prisons and camps become literal death houses! All human beings deserve healthcare, respect, and a chance to live! . #FreeThemAll #CloseTheCamps #AbolishICE #elpueblounido #immigrantsarewelcomehere #freeramsey #freeallpoliticalprisoners . 🎨: @reluctant_hero1, who made the amazing Close The Camps sign 🖼 (at 366 3rd Avenue, New York.

RT @defineamerican: #immigrants When someone says undocumented Americans don’t have the right to protest for a #CleanDreamAct, show them — immigrants without legal status pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the richest Americans. They pay Congressional salaries; they’ve earned the right to fill their chambers. #undocumented #defineamerican #joseantoniovargas #tax #taxes #monopoly #immigrantsarewelcomehere #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #immigration #undocumentedamerican
I highly recommend the Tate! If you’re ever visiting London it’s a must see! These were some of my favorites: 1) Whaam!, Roy Lichtenstein, 1963 – One of the best-known works of pop art and arguably Lichenstein’s most famous painting. The composition was originally taken from a DC comic book, All-American Men of War in February 1962. 2) Babel, Cildo Meireles, 2001 – a large-scale sculptural tower made with hundreds of second-hand analogue radios addresses information overload and failed communication. Every radio playing at once, the work echoes the biblical story of Babel. 3) Ambiguous Structure No.92, Jean-Pierre Yvaral, 1969 – an abstract painting in acrylic producing a 3D effect. 4) Nataraja, Bridget Riley, 1993 – Sever arrangements of vertical stripes with what she called an “Egyptian Palette.” 5) The British Library, Yinka Shonibare CBE, 2014 – 6,328 hardback books individually covered with names of 1st or 2nd generation British Immigrants. Each name, in gold print, represents an immigrant that made significant contributions to British culture and history. 6) Rochelle Fant, himself, 2019 – taking it all in. #thetate #london #popart #immigrantsarewelcomehere #roylichenstein #cildomeireles #jeanpierreyvaral #bridgetriley #yinkashonibarecbe (at Tate Modern) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pGeGdlbsy/?igshid=1h9levmyhlyji
