Transmasc with a dagger cane

Oh hey that's me!

You should absolutely end friendships with people whose political views threaten your safety! That's fine actually!

... but also there's no such thing as a gender-affirming immigration court, really. Nothing about the violence of maintaining imaginary lines in the desert could ever actually be gender affirming. But we're trying to make it suck a tiny bit less.

Sometimes you gotta be professionally queer for Pride 💁

On #ThinkImmigration, @Sarah_whomst from @BenachCollopy, L Gagne from @AcaciaJustice, and Shira Hereld from @RMIAN_org explain how a more gender-affirming #immigration court is possible: bit.ly/4eAJK2Z

In honor of #Pride Month🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈we’ve put together a resource for #immigration attorneys, ICE, #immigrationcourt judges, & court interpreters to utilize gender affirming language. We're partnering with @AcaciaJustice @RMIAN_org to make court more inclusive ➡️bit.ly/45hip1p

Asylum cases are the modern day equivalent of witch trials. 900 AD: "if she floats, she's lying about being a witch & if she drowns, she was telling the truth" 2024 AD: "if he lives, he's lying about facing persecution & if he's deported and killed, he was telling the truth"

The Supreme Court was a fucking mistake.

Had to update the profile pic, since @DreeCollopy's latest @AILANational Asylum Primer is here! @BenachCollopy obviously had to do a photo shoot to celebrate:

@JetBlue forces you to pick a title but doesn't have Mx. as an option when booking flights. They have all kinds of other titles though. Fine. Looks like it's Dr. Liz and Captain Sarah flying for the holidays this year. 💁

@flanagancan @avabdc FORTY MINUTES INTO OPENING ARGUMENTS!! (I'm so pissed)

@avabdc @Sarah_whomst Omg! I’ve seen this caught at a master, but never an individual.

lovely democracy we got going on here

Hey @FenwickWest withdrawing support from a pro bono asylum project because a partner org supports Palestine is a really bad look. Y'all suck. #FreePalestine

In conversation with @avabdc yesterday: "I realized I don't actually know anything about Panama." Me 24 hours later: *books trip to Panama* 💁

And a bug flies in to Stephen Miller's mouth

@heybramson This outfit is (a) fabulous, no notes, and (b) definitely a reason I would have a hard time believing you're a Kinsey 0.

@mattxiv Hard unwelcome

i think about this

@ari_jones I don't know if it's a regional rollout thing, but the new vax is available here in DC - I'm getting it and the flu shot at CVS this Saturday

Big ICE OPLA vibes

I never imagined I'd sue the government as an immigration lawyer. Maybe appeal up to the circuit court, sure. But as @avabdc says, "mandamus" is Latin for "do your f*cking job" and somebody's gotta make @USCIS work. Guess it may as well be me.
