- Reposted by Alexiana FryI don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives. This is nothing short of psychosocial torture.

- Reposted by Alexiana FryFolks we don’t need to choose. Bovino is literally walking around dressing himself like a Nazi, of course we should look to *his* inspiration for what the fuck he is up to. Is it his only inspiration? No. It’s a both/and situation.
- What will end ICE’s terroristic regime for good? Recognizing and rejecting its core white nationalism that has been a part of the American fabric for over 400 years. Some of us have never had the privilege to look away and ignore it. Now none of us do. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/26/o...
- Reposted by Alexiana FryThe US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

- Reposted by Alexiana FryI’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

- Kicking off the year with a new article for the Special Issue on Forced Migration and the Bible: "Seeking Subjectivity in/with/through Esther's Mobility." In it, I attempt a feminist interdisciplinary methodology with emphasis on reflexivity. www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/17...

- Reposted by Alexiana FryYour reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

- Reposted by Alexiana Frythey really can just liquidate you in broad daylight with cameras rolling and then blame you for it, which is obvious, and always has been, and yet, and yet, and yet
- Reposted by Alexiana FryICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

- ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

- I had the gift of being part of @refugeestudies.bsky.social's "Summer School," and I cannot overstate its impact, both personally and professionally.
- Reposted by Alexiana FryI think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
- Reposted by Alexiana FryI made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

- Reposted by Alexiana FryIf you are interested in thinking about borders and the Bible, here’s a new article. It traces a complex history between the Bible and the borders of modern nation states. So it’s relevant to the challenge of Christian nationalism. It’s also open access so take a look. doi.org/10.1093/jts/...
