During last week’s Senate hearings, Amy Coney Barrett’s description of her children gave me chills—but not for the reasons most might expect.

Getting so many worried calls from Haitian friends who lost their TPS and whose asylum cases are even more precarious than ever and I don't know what to tell anyone...
My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

i really, truly want to understand how some of my fellow jews believe mayor mamdani calling the prime minister of israel a war criminal—which he is—was fuel for a mentally ill man to stab two people in NYC, one of whom wasn’t jewish. what in the ever-loving fuck.

To wit: today I met with a very nice young asylum-seeker fleeing truly terrible things, and after we spoke I asked where I could buy spicy Haitian peanut butter in the neighborhood, and she insisted on giving me a huge portion of the homemade peanut butter her aunt brought her from #Haiti.
@laurarosew.bsky.social · 2mo agowhile I don't think people should have to be extraordinary to deserve protection from deportation, it's also true that every Haitian TPS-holder or asylum-seeker I've met has been unbelievably generous, hardworking, and kind. they would give you the literal shirts off their backs.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

The energy at the DSA election night party feels like an earthquake just ripped through the democratic party in a way that cannot be undone. I said yesterday that there was a movement and a political renaissance happening in NYC and here we see the heart of it. Also Chelsea Manning is DJing.

Read @juliagaffield.bsky.social on FIFA's decision to ban Haiti's original World Cup jersey, the deep pattern this is a part of, and the irony that they are probably helping to educate more people about the Battle of Vertières. Great piece! theconversation.com/fifas-haiti-...
FIFA’s Haiti jersey ban echoes the long campaign to discredit and downplay the Haitian Revolution
The move is part of a longer history of obscuring and demonizing the Haitian Revolution and its leader, Jean-Jacques Dessalines.

Learning about the treatment of Haiti over the last two and a half centuries really is like putting on the sunglasses in They Live. Haitians defeated slavery and their colonial occupiers and they will never be forgiven and the punishment will never stop.
