Reminder: ICE knew as far back as 2018 about the systematic medical abuse of migrant women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center.

They refused to do anything.

Instead, they promptly proceeded to cover their tracks in the fall of 2020 by deporting survivors & witnesses.

Frankly, I hope some Democrats have the guts to openly condemn this. What use is obsessing so much over propriety that you can’t convince yourself whether or not it’s proper to charge a guy who led an armed assault on the Capitol or looted state secrets? https://www.wsj.com/articles/garland-to-name-special-counsel-to-determine-whether-trump-should-face-charges-11668796152

With the #IrishTwitter migration, finding each other again is crucial. Here are some tips:

• Put your full Mastodon handle in your Twitter name or bio (including the bit at the end)

• Use tools like Fedifinder to scan your Twitter followings for people who are here already. https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

We have decided to create an account at Mastodon. We need time to learn how this platform works but also how to synchronize our work here with the Twitter account.

Thank you all for joining us here. No matter where we are, the mission stays the same. We are in social media to commemorate the victims of Auschwitz and educate the world about the tragic story of the camp.

Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more.

All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.

i will honestly miss this site so much. the comedic geniuses who did so much with brevity. the firebrands and intellectuals. activist communities. editors and writers. weirdos and friends. people who made me feel like my work mattered and i mattered. 😭

So I guess it wasn't a hoax.
