🧵Because Latinos make up around 27% of all public school students but about 20% of college students, graduation rates rank lower than other groups. As a result, Pres. #Biden is allocating funds and support so Latino students can have better educational resources. (1/4)

The best time to abolish the filibuster and pass the #DREAMAct was when it was first introduced 20 years ago.

The second best time is today, July 17, 2021.

#DACA
#defendDACA
#DREAMActNow

A pathway to citizenship for minors brought to the US as children has consistently been at least as popular in voter polling as legalizing marijuana. Again and again for 2 decades, Rs have consistently blocked, filibustered, and refused to allow it to the floor for an honest vote

Never forget that #DACA was not some radical act of Obama's executive whim, but a product of genuine frustration from a broken system's failure to protect a population which more than 2/3 of Americans rightfully understand is #HereToStay.

Any day now, a federal judge in #Texas will rule on #DACA, a policy that allows certain young immigrants who arrived to the U.S. as children to access a renewable, 2-yr work permit and a reprieve from deportation. maldef.org/2021/03/texas-… @MALDEF

#DACA has allowed recipients to put their skills and abilities to full use, giving them a greater sense of stability. More than 83% of previously surveyed DACA recipients reported that increased earnings has helped them become “financially independent.”

My office stood up to the Trump administration every time it tried to trample the rights of New Yorkers and Americans across the country.

We worked tirelessly to challenge this administration's illegal attacks — and we successfully stopped some of its most dangerous ones.

We successfully:

✅Protected #DACA and the right of #Dreamers to live here.

✅Preserved the integrity of the #2020Census & stopped the citizenship question.

✅Defended access to the Trusted Traveler Program.

✅Guarded the health coverage of millions who depend on the #ACA.

➡️Took dozens of legal actions to protect the environment, including over 70 actions in 2020 alone.

➡️Stopped attacks on the #USPS and attempts to undermine our election.

➡️Protected women’s constitutional right to an abortion and reproductive care.

and so much more.

AMLO - TRUMP: #CheektoCheek

Abro 🧵

La relación bilateral entre 🇲🇽 y 🇺🇸 se tradujo en una relación unilateral.

Amenazas y mano dura por parte de @realDonaldTrump hacía México para lograr sus objetivos.

El Gobierno mexicano mantuvo cierta “estabilidad” en la relación con EE.UU., cediendo a las peticiones de la #CasaBlanca, siempre y cuando Trump no se metiera en asuntos internos de México.

Los pilares entre ambos países fueron: migración, comercio y seguridad.

1) 2015: En campaña, Trump: ¨Cuando México envía a su personas, no envía a las mejores. Están enviando gente con muchos problemas. Están trayendo drogas, crimen, son violadores y algunos asumo que son buenas personas, pero yo hablo con guardias fronterizos y eso tiene sentido”.

@AOC & @JohnKerry chaired Unity Task Force on the #ClimateCrisis. It set a national goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings by 2030 & eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035, in addition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

"I think we actually made far more progress than I think I even anticipated,” Sunrise Movement co-founder Varshini Prakash told Vox, because many of the advisers on #ClimateChange nominated by #Biden were "equally amenable to ambitious action as many people on the #Bernie side.”

"#DACA on the ballot this November... This should be troubling news for the GOP given that in poll after poll, approximately four out of five Americans, including a majority of Republicans, want #Dreamers to remain in the U.S. permanently."

A new poll from @amprog shows "Americans recognize the important contributions that immigrants are making to combat the pandemic, and—by large margins—support granting legal status and a pathway to citizenship for essential workers."

So ends a political career which proudly included, among many other things:

-voter suppression
-harsh drug prosecutions
-going absurdly hard on cannabis
-knowingly causing lifetime trauma to kids at the border
-trying to deport #DREAMers

Couldn't have happened to a worse person

https://twitter.com/jeffsessions/status/1283245468043153410

Sessions could have retired yrs ago on his record as a racist paleoconservative Senator, but he'd had one career goal since the year I was born: running immigration enforcement.

Trump granted his wish, on the condition Jeff eat Trump's shit like it was Sunday dinner. So he did

Sessions was obsessed w/denying those brought to the US as children their #DREAM, and carried a unique hatred for the #DREAMAct. He lobbied Trump for the privilege of ending #DACA. And he happily designed Trump's family separation policy.

What does this man have against kids?
