Lessons from the dirty wars: Argentina formed a national DNA database to reunite children the military government had forcibly removed from their mothers. And here’s an idea: they also criminally prosecuted dozens of officials, of all ranks, who participated in the removals.

The ruling treats domestic violence as private violence; those who suffer from it are “victim[s] of a particular abuser in highly individualized circumstances” and therefore do not merit asylum. This denies dv’s social dimensions and the ways states collude in its perpetration.

This article picked up by @USAtoday cites literally ONE example, of this happening to draw a conclusion + paint it as an epidemic. Another example of the misinformation campaign being waged against immigrants. So important to read beyond the headlines

Whatever happens, huge shout out to the grassroots activists who have worked so damn hard. Anything good that happens in this country is thanks to those thousands of doors you knocked. Grateful.

Hear that? It’s the sound of champagne corks as @CoreCivic and @GEOnewsroom , the private prison contractors that run family detention centers, celebrate their great good fortune. It seems the GOP is proposing to replace baby cages with more baby jails

@nytimes 3/ It appears that the GOP “solution” to family crisis would quadruple down on family detention. Ron Johnson told the @nytimes “We would probably need to build more, identify more detention facilities, certify them so we can keep the families together.”
