Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Neoliberals were rightfully performatively enraged when Trump enacted his racist Title 42 policy, but they want us to believe it’s somehow a different story now, when Biden does the exact same thing.
Biden is fundamentally altering the asylum seeking process so that it favors European refugees and asylum seekers, while punishing people from Haiti, Mexico and South & Central America.
To be clear: This is an unequal and deeply racist policy.
Joseph Robinette Biden is the undisputed Deporter-in-Chief (of Black and Brown people).

Additionally, blocking non-European asylum seekers does not and has never had anything to do with the evergreen, conveniently racist trope of “refugees bringing diseases.” That was racist when Trump did it, and it’s still racist when mainstream media and the Biden administration echo those exact same sentiments—if it were at all true, Biden wouldn’t have relaxed the Title 42 restrictions for Ukrainian war refugees, even as he was turning away thousands and thousands of Haitian war refugees.
Liberals told us, don’t worry they would push Biden left after the election. But they just went back to brunch, and now they’re the hypocritical sycophants telling us that we are “hurting” Biden by holding him accountable and reminding him of all his broken campaign promises.
Make no mistake: this is Biden tracking to the right before an election. He’s seeking the votes of “moderates” (aka slightly less racist Republicans) by showing that he can be every bit as tough on non-white immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers as any Republican. The only problem here is, Republicans are tracking Right and so are Democrats… so until this dynamic changes, it means we will always shift ever rightward on our immigration policies.

AIDNW ("aid northwest") is a nonprofit organization that camps out outside the Tacoma ICE detention center in Washington state (USA), and supplies detainees with books and craft supplies inside the detention center (this might be the only ICE detention center that has such a program), and resources like warm clothes and lunches upon release. Most detainees are people who were separated from their families and taken there from the southern US border and are not acclimated to weather this cold, so the coats AIDNW gives detainees upon release are super important to their health and safety almost the entire year round. AIDNW also helps released detainees get to their families, and gives them a sack lunch to take with them. If it was not for AIDNW, detainees would not just be cold - they would go hungry for the day or two it takes to reach their families across the USA.
Due to the variety of requirements between the detention center and airlines, AIDNW has extremely specific items that they need, so they have made an Amazon wishlist to make it easy for people to donate what the detainees both actually need and can actually use. I know for certain that right now their greatest need is for coats, and this is an ongoing need so no matter how old this Tumblr post is when you see it, donating a coat from the wishlist will almost certainly help someone not long after you donate it.
There is also a lot that AIDNW does with cash, and you can see a list of what those things are on their website, where you can also donate money if you feel like it.

Shout out to my mom for making all these pins, necklaces, and affirmation stars, and to my friends Myla and Bridget for creating the pride art for the necklaces :) <3
"Nach allem, was wir letzte Woche lesen konnten, dürfte jetzt auch wirklich jedem und jeder klar sein, dass diese Partei die freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung beeinträchtigen oder beseitigen möchte.
Und ja, es besteht die reelle Chance, dass die AfD diese Pläne dann auch umsetzen kann.
Diese Partei gehört verboten.
Trotzdem bereitet mir Sorge, was dann passiert. Welche Reaktion ein Verbot auslösen wird.
Es ist nicht nur die Partei, die faschistisch und rechtsextrem ist, sondern es sind auch nicht unerhebliche Teile unserer Gesellschaft, die die Einstellung teilen oder zumindest bereit sind, diese hinzunehmen.
Wir haben nicht ein Problem mit einer Partei und wenn die Partei weg ist, ist auch das Problem weg.
Neee, wir haben ein gesellschaftliches Problem!" — aus Rede von Menschen der "Seebrücke Köln".
Even though Title 42, an immigration policy enforced by the Trump administration which severely restricted the ability of people crossing the U.S. southern border to seek asylum, was lifted last week, the new asylum rules proposed by the Biden administration will also significantly limit countless of people coming from the US-Mexico border to apply for asylum in the U.S.
Make sure to read an article by the organization International Rescue Committee (IRC) to find out how you can help asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border.
