#FreeChidi #freethemall Chidi is elegible for bond but @icegov refuses to grant him bond just because he’s a Black man. ICE officer Scott Myer told him to “Sit down N…!” after Chidi wanted an explanation of the denial and the badge info of this officer. Please take action, scripts and contact info for elected officials and ICE are listed in our linktree and tinyurl #shutdownnwdc #abolishice #chingalamigra #immigration #noborders

@ProPublica needs a new full-stack Senior Product Developer to help improve how the best investigative nonprofit journalism in the country gets published.

We can't pay like a Big Tech company, but it's a great place to work and you get to have direct impact on how people interact with our journalism. We're also still small enough where your thoughts and opinions on how things should work really matter!

Reminder to go to your local library and volunteer to speak on their behalf. Let them know that if folks try to come and ban books that you'll speak publicly against them.

We found out folks were going to be commenting at our library calling for banning books.

So.

We all went and spoke out against them.

Only one person got up and called for a ban. She went first. Everyone after her started calling out her behavior and telling the library staff to keep the books.

The first woman and a couple others soon left before the end of comments.

Drive them out. Protect our libraries.

"Arizona prison officials said Sunday they are investigating the causes and consequences of a disturbance that broke out in a section of Perryville women's prison in Goodyear on Friday.

At least four women inside the prison, as well as civil rights advocates on their behalf, said in emails and interviews that a violent disturbance unfolded after women complained about sweltering temperatures inside their cells."

🚨*BREAKING NEWS*🚨

"The first 50 Asylum Seekers arrive at the Bibby Stockholm!"

1/ HOWEVER, most Asylum Seekers asked said knowing this vessel accommodation was their destination before they crossed the Channel, wouldn't deter them.

There's 100k waiting to be processed & the prison barge has a capacity of 500, hence why critics & campaigners claim the Bibby is nothing more than window dressing & a dog whistle to far right Brexiteers. 😳

🚨*BREAKING NEWS*🚨

"The Tories plan to move Asylum Seekers to the volcanic remote South Atlantic Ascension Isles!"

The barren Island is 1600km from the nearest land mass, it covers an area of 51sq km, with a population of 806.

There's 100k Asylum Seekers awaiting processing, with 500 being housed on the Bibby.

Rwanda has capacity for 100, which leaves 99.4k presumably earmarked for the Ascension Isles. 😳

Quite where they plan to house them is anyone's guess! 🙄

Almost 400 people have been placed in #torturedeportationflights leaving @kingcountyairport served by @signaturefbo and a couple from #yakima We won’t stop until all deportations end!

The numbers of those who don't affiliate with any religion are surging in the U.S., but only 4% of Americans self-identify as "atheist." And while we may not have an official national religion, Christianity is largely baked into many aspects of our culture. With it comes stigma attached to atheism, which makes many reluctant to embrace it.

But why? Should the lack of religious belief really be looked upon any differently than belief? We unpack that question and more today in The Big Picture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/atheism-america-stigma-religion-christianity
