Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has shut down & those appointments are no longer valid.

The far right wants us to feel powerless. Extremists are counting on apathy, cynicism, & heartbreak to be their rocket fuel. They are counting on us to point fingers at each other & lose trust in our ability to make change. I absolutely refuse to give them the satisfaction.

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

Jeff Bezos last week: “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

Elections aren’t about finding your perfect match- they are about choosing under what conditions you want to organize for a better world. @AOC says “I know who I would rather argue with…100,000 %” as she talks about the life and death consequences of a Trump presidency.

My goal last year for my 16th birthday was to hit my $1M goal, that didn’t happen. So the goal is to hit that $1M mark by the end of 2024. But to do that I need to raise the last $190k. Most people give up after trying for 4 years, but I refuse to give up.
Replying to @LittleMissFlint
So I partnered with @Hydroviv_h2o to create my own filter, that I ship out to people across the country. Nobody should have to wait for the government for clean water. For 4 years I have been trying to raise $1M for my filters. We are 80% there. gofund.me/a682750c

Loved this film, and feeling these words.
In #AmericanFiction theres a debate around the allure + appetite for stereotypical portrayals of Black life in mainstream stories Whether giving into it + the stories themselves are right/wrong or if they help/hurt I asked @SterlingKBrown about this & the GEM HE DROPPED😮‍💨🔥>>>

It was an absolute blast being a lead illustrator and colorist on this video for @Czarface_Eso (directed by the duo Hoku and Adam). Check out some of the art from the video! – at New York, USA

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n
