NEW FROM ME:
The government will do things that hurt people.
But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him.
Here’s a start.

The public has a right & a duty to understand immigration policy. I used to help out with that as a reporter; now I do it at @immcouncil. All tweets my own.

- So...I just saw about the part of Mark Zuckerberg’s speech last week where he says he founded Facebook because the Iraq War told him more people needed their perspectives heard. And as a 2005-present Facebook user, I have never felt so gaslit in my life. That’s not what it was.
- Me, the last 6 months: TOO MANY PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT Me, today: WAIT IF MEGAN RAPINOE TURNED 34 THIS WEEK SHE’LL BE 35 AS OF NOVEMBER 2020
- I want to get one thing straight: If you’re not calling the $12B emergency tariff-aid package the “baleout,” you’re a disgrace to journalism and to the memory of the New York Daily News.
- For years, I’ve used Twitter favs (now “likes”) for bookmarking. Now that The Algorithm promotes tweets I like into followers’ feeds, I’m getting “why did you like this?” queries from ppl who disagree with the tweet. Thanks, Twitter, for yet another step toward unusability.
- This scenario is something an entire cohort of kids have been expecting and fearing. I’ve spoken to school employees in cities where there were no raids, at times when there were no raids, saying that sometimes kids came in midday asking to call and see if parents were still home

- If there are 10 babies on the floor of the senate it constitutes a Baby Quorum and they can form their own Baby Senate.“What if there are 10 babies on the floor of the Senate?" apnews.com/f4538d1b6f9947…
- It’s legal to seek asylum in the US without papers. If you present yourself at a port of entry you break no US law. The last caravan did just that.To those in the Caravan, turnaround, we are not letting people into the United States illegally. Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!
- PSA: this @nytimes headline is flat-out wrong. The Supreme Court explicitly found that Trump COULD end DACA if he went about it a different way. Be careful out there, news consumers.

- Hi. I spent tonight at a Jewish wedding. We’ve been here for 4,000 years and we’re going to be here for 4,000 more. And may everyone who thinks otherwise go fuck themselves.
- Replying to @DLindA few reminders re early FB: -News Feed wasn’t part of the original UI. -Status updates weren’t part of the original UI. -Wall posts as discrete entities weren’t part of the original UI (it was just a text-box sandbox). -groups were only open to a given school.
- How is the entire timeline not mourning this. We just lost the oldest human fossil ever discovered in the Americas, y’all.Rio's 200-year old National Museum hit by massive fire reut.rs/2Cb8YXp
