I can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.

It took five days for him to die.

He was blind and didn’t speak English.

They took the pole he was using as a cane.

This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.

It was all preventable.

They could have taken him home.

They could have called his family.

They could have refused to leave him for dead.

Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.

Imagine looking at I.C.E. from across the ocean and thinking "Yes, this is the role model we want to follow!"

"The plans, if approved, could expand and normalise immigration raids and surveillance measures across [Europe] while also intensifying racial profiling."

Its so sad that Europeans need to constantly keep they're guard up to fight against this creeping fascism

did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?

of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power

it refers to a real event: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May…

it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech

from the play "Sir Thomas More"

here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory

(#Gandalf, #Magneto, etc)

DHS will remove 700 immigration officers from Minnesota, but that still leaves ~2,000 in place: politico.com/news/2026/02/04/t…

Withholding DHS funding is significant leverage. The danger here is that Congress will accept a ~25% relocation of force as sufficient reform, and restore funding with no mechanism for ensuring accountability. Tell your representatives and senators to hold out for more, or we risk losing that leverage.
