BREAKING: In a 6-3 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court allows anti-immigrant law #SB4 to go into effect immediately.

The law’s implementation would lead to racial profiling, separate families, and harm Black and Brown communities across the state. /1🧵

Solito, de Javier Zamora, també disponible en català (amb traducció de l'original en anglès de Marta Marfany), al Viatja Bé, amb recomanació d'Helena Bernadas d'Altaïr.

It's an honor to publish this piece by the brave & fierce heart that is Abdelrahman ElGendy in Mizna

A MUST READ intervention to the brain-rotted Western empathy & 'humanity' discourse, esp in the wake of Guernica Magazine + PEN America's recent failures
