Russia weaponizing deportation

#Ukraine evacuated 43 citizens being held along the #Russia-Georgia border on July 19 that had been recently #deported from #Russia, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced.

Instead of being brought to the #Ukrainian border, 56 #Ukrainian #deportees were taken to a basement facility in #Georgia where they were being held in a transit zone, aid group Volunteers #Tbilisi reported.

What happens to kids when parents are deported? These families are making plans - Los Angeles Times
The number of #immigrant parents making emergency arrangements for their children’s care has skyrocketed.
Parents are seeking help in filling out forms designating another adult to care for their children in case they are #deported.
5.62 million American #children have an undocumented household member; nearly 2 million are under the age of 6.

Los Angeles Times · What happens to kids when parents are deported? These families are making plansBy Jenny Gold

dear #climatescience on bluesky.
i'm gonna say this as nicely as possible. NO ONE gives a fuck anymore about whether #climatechange is #accelerating exponentially or just increasing very steeply. things people care about nowaday: mental survival, not being #deported, not falling into #poverty, not dying of heat stroke.

who are you doing this for? bc to me it seems you and your respective fanbase do it purely for ego (and maybe US #university funding).

you are losing people.

What a tragedy. Eve Adams sounds like the coolest person ever. Should be a real #Jewish icon for sure.

"Eve Adams, an #immigrant and the proprietor of a 1920s #lesbian tearoom, was imprisoned for disorderly conduct and #obscenity, then sent back to #Europe, where she became a target of the #Holocaust.

Key takeaways: Who was Eve Adams, #author of Lesbian Love?

Born Chawa Zloczewer, Eve Adams opened Eve’s Hangout, a lesbian bar in #NewYorkCity’s #GreenwichVillage neighborhood, in 1924.

Adams was #deported to Europe in 1927, after serving more than a year in prison for #publishing#obscene#literature and supposedly seducing an undercover policewoman."

#Ukrainians forcibly #deported by Russia held in basement

We are in a basement without shower or toilet; they don’t feed us

Volunteers bring #humanitarian aid whic lasts for a couple of days

#Putin ordered Ukrainians living in occupied territories to leave unless they “regulate their legal status” - obtaining #Russian citizenship

These systematic #deportations, persecutions are part of Russia’s #genocide policy against Ukrainian people

#Trump violated the War Powers Resolution yesterday. He bypassed #Congress sole authority to declare war, on behalf of a foreign government, when we were not at risk at the time, and so it did not qualify as national defense.

That's #impeachment and removal grounds right there.

Also, although we don't have any #extradition treaties with #Iran, what's stopping us from offering Trump's extradition to Iran as a token of goodwill? Let's just do it. That blubbering idiot has had legal #immigrants and even US #citizens #deported without worrying about whether or not it's ethical or legal, so let's offer him to Iran first, then ask questions later ("in two weeks", of course). If it's part of peace negotiations, extradition should be enough to quickly put him on a plane before the #Courts can rule otherwise.

Iran "has a right to exist", right? That's what we always hear about the foreign country of #Israel (you know, the violent aggressor).

It would be appropriate for Iran to attack us in return, which we plebians don't want. They have a "right to defend themselves", just like we do.

#Impeach, remove, and then extradite Trump.
Keep America safe.
Make America sane again.

Continued thread

Since #ICE Agents are wearing masks & refusing to identify themselves, there has been a flood of criminals & vigilantes masquerading as ICE agents invading homes and entering places of business, #kidnapping, #robbing and even sexually assaulting immigrants.

When a lawless government uses illegal tactics to force their will, they give cover to criminals who will copy them to #commit crimes of their own.

*Who* exactly are the #criminals here that need to be #deported?

#Russia proposed #exchanging #POWs for #deported #UkrainianChildren

The #Russians proposed that we give them #soldiers and they give us #children. This is beyond comprehension and beyond international law.

Well, that’s typical of them. And that’s why the children must be brought back, and here, probably, the art of #diplomacy is needed
