When is it time to admit these are concentration camps and recall that these have existed across time and place including here before and the Nazis operated concentration camps for 6 years prior to them becoming extermination camps?

Anat Shenker-Osorio@anatosaurus.bsky.social · 2y agoSomehow missed this 2022 UK paper exploring responses to radical right parties (RRP) and whether accommodation - i.e. "beat" them by repeating a version of their tale actually worked electorally. Short version: Nope. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

Thanks to @PhillyInquirer for publishing my OpED! A bipartisan House vote extended #TPS protection for Haitian immigrants. Will the Senate follow suit? share.inquirer.com/Vn6ZTD
The U.S. House voted to protect Haitian immigrants. Will the Senate follow suit? | Opinion
The Trump administration wants to send some 350,000 immigrants back to a violent and collapsing nation. Pennsylvanians in Congress could protect them.

My 2 cents in this: “Based on almost any metric, Haiti is just a very dangerous place to be.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/16/o...
The Trump administration doesn’t want these refugees. But they have nowhere else to go. - The Boston Globe
The harm that would result from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian nationals living in the US is not theoretical.

Absolutely essential wisdom from @andreapitzer.bsky.social laying out why "concentration camps" is not merely apt but essential terminology and rousing us to act now, while we still have the freedom to do so, to #CloseTheCamps and #BringThemHome substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Dem leadership should be out there every single day ramming home the point that we have a madman as a President. Where are you? Stop with your carefully worded statements showing your disappointment. You are not what we need now if you don't fight with every fiber of your being! ✊⚖️🇺🇸
I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
From Cesar Jaramillo: "...those well aware of the erosion of int'l norms should be struck by the speed with which civilian protections are sliding. And there is no shortage of responsibility: the perpetrators, the enablers, the silent observers & those who feign concern but ultimately do little..."

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
TY to @pressley.house.gov for your work and organizing on this! www.dotnews.com/2026/03/28/p...
Pressley says she has enough support to force vote on Haitian TPS extension - Dorchester Reporter
Rep. Ayanna Pressley says she has secured enough support from her colleagues in the House to seek a vote to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians living in the United States.

Wonderful victory! Inspiring leadership from @pressley.house.gov , supported by a wave of activism by Haitians, religious, solidarity and human rights groups. This is how we get our democracy back.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov · 6mo agoBREAKING: After weeks of organizing, we have reached the majority necessary to force a vote to extend Haiti TPS. Thank you to our coalition and everyone fighting for this critical lifeline for the 350,000 Haitian nationals. Our neighbors are so deserving.
The regime is counting on your exhaustion. 😮💨 Your neighbors are counting on your presence. 🤝 3,000+ events this Saturday. Choose your side. March 28. #NoKings2026
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.
There will be more protests on March 28 than any previous day in American history. Find your local No Kings event and join us in the streets again next weekend: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
We have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court opposing the Trump admin’s effort to end Temporary Protected Status for Haiti, which would fire 300,000+ workers–including thousands of union members. It's bad for our communities, families and economy.

Trump’s attempts to end Temporary Protected Status for Haiti is cruel & life-threatening for Haitians in the #MA7 & across the country. I joined leaders & advocates to urge SCOTUS to affirm what the lower courts have ruled—that Trump’s push to terminate TPS is unlawful.
if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
This is an unconstitutional war and Congress needs to vote immediately on a war powers resolution to tell the president to stop. I will be a strong yes. (1/2)
Canada once rejected America's aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it. An absolute must read from a former Foreign Minister of Canada: thestar.com/opinion/cont...
