Gratiiiieaaaa

Appalled to learn of plans to introduce an amendment to CACR13 to CODIFY the slavery exemption at tomorrow's House vote. Happy first day of Black History Month. Racism in NH? Nah. We can be better than this. End slavery in NH. Pass CACR13 Visibility 8:30am state house #NHPolitics

21 ppl in 15 months. All handled by border patrol. Rhetoric has been driven by fear & the data supports it. Fear that makes people behave, speak & lead in small, narrow minded ways. Ppl who are coming are seeking safety & security. What else could $1.4mil fund in NH? #NHPolitics

Hard-fought changes to our bail statute ensured NH doesn’t detain people purely b/c they can’t afford cash bail. Now, the House backs meaningful fixes protecting public safety, victims + civil liberties. Congratulations to House CJ for their bipartisan work! #NHPolitics

Anne Boyer has resigned as the poetry editor of the New York Times magazine: “Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse.”

Every day brings news of horrific violence and destruction rained down on civilians in #Gaza. This must end before more suffer. Leaders in the US and international community must show humanity, demand a ceasefire, and establish humanitarian relief now! afsc.org/action/call-hu…

NHGOP wants to help immigrants "fit in" but choose to back anti-immigrant legislation that makes it harder for our communities to live, work & exist safely without worrying that local police will profile or treat us fairly regardless of status. Divide & conquer. #NHPolitics

GOP party chair Chris Ager attempts to insult NH's largest city by calling it "Manch-ghanistan". Nothing like a little xenophobia during election season to derail the real needs NH communities have for affordable housing, childcare, transportation, internet & food #NHPolitics

@alissandra4mht Agreed. And not just Latinos, all immigrants especially Black and Brown immigrants living, working or visiting the north country will get the brunt of the increased surveillance and enforcement.

I’m glad the legislature made compromises together, but I wish those compromises weren’t made on the backs of Latinos, property-poor districts, group 2 public employees, and cities struggling to address crime. #NHPolitics

The house budget just passed with only 53 dissenting. I know our role in the legislature is to compromise, but I still believe the House compromised better in our version of HB 2. I could not bring myself to vote yes today for several reasons 🧵 1/4

When there's a deal to be struck, immigrants are on the chopping block. Glad to see good pieces in the budget pass but furious that northern border enforcement was rammed through despite the absolute lack of data to justify what is clearly a xenophobia fueled power grab.

Biden needs to prioritize the human rights of ppl seeking safety, not give in to extreme right-wing factions for policy ideas. Vulnerable ppl need protections & humane treatment. We need a #PathwaytoCitizenship #RestoreAsylum and to #DefundHate. Defund #ICE & #CBP #sotu2023

Reformist reforms don’t work. Diversifying the police force, training, and body cams do not reduce the funding or scope of policing. Tyre Nichols’ death makes it clear that diversity hires in policing do not prevent police violence. #SOTU #sotu2023

How many times does Beyoncé have to make the Album of the Year to win Album of the Year?

This registration business has been so freaking confusing. Am I part of the Beyhive...? Or is the #Beyhive a part of me...? I feel like I've won bonus points in some insane capitalist culture game #BeyonceRenaissanceTour

I just got a ticket access code for Beyonce's show in Atlanta in August! THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE. #BeyonceRenaissanceTour

Shameful effort on the part of @SenatorHassan AGAIN to extend #Title42 and cause further harm to Black and Brown immigrants. Happy #BlackHistoryMonth

"The humanitarian crisis we are witnessing now at the border is due to decades of inaction and systemic disinvestment by our Congressional leaders." We must must disinvest from cruelty & punishment systems & invest in humane & dignified infrastructure . concordmonitor.com/My-Turn-Restor…

For Kindeke & Opramolla, an investment to support immigrant communities involves spending to support infrastructure like processing centers & establishing pathways towards citizenship. Not more funding for detention & deportation. concordmonitor.com/Immigrant-acti… #NHPolitics #DefundHate

When we fight together we win. Step by step by step 🦋✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻🦋 #EndTitle42 #RestoreAsylum

Did you know that in NH, citizens can vote even if they don't have a physical address or are even formerly incarcerated. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. #NHPolitics
