What Abbott is doing at the border is barbaric. This is a grave violation of human rights. Migrants deserve to be treated with human dignity.

BREAKING: Feds sue Abbott over drowning devices in Rio Grande.

Let’s keep up the pressure.
We want the buoys & netting removed, the razor wire under the water & on the banks removed and for DPS to respect Border Patrol authority.

Notice: a story documenting thousands of cases of child exploitation, clear as day, out in the open, and the (to be clear, otherwise excellent) report doesn’t mention the word “crime” or “criminal” once. It’s presented entirely as a civil and bureaucratic process issue. https://t.co/0JXMckCGHE

Trump’s Muslim and African Ban was rooted in white nationalism and contributed to the ongoing dehumanization of Muslims and Muslim Americans.
