Advocates say the fastest way to help immigrants separated from their children: Post their bail

When undocumented immigrants are detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), they are held in detention until they go to trial where the court will decide whether they can stay in the country. In some cases, the immigration judge will let them go while they await trial if they first pay a bail bond. Bail is set at a legal minimum of $1,500, but can be much higher. The bond is meant as a deposit to ensure the accused will report to their trial. If they attend all of their court appointments, they can get the money back. But many people have trouble coming up with the funds. The average bail bond issued by the San Francisco immigration courts in 2014 was $3,411 and the average cost of bond in immigration courts nationally is $6,500. Bond amounts could be as high as $80,500 on Central District of California immigration bonds, according to a 2015 study by USC law professor Emily Ryo. Donating to community bond funds can immediately “lead to freedom,” she said. Community bond funds are charities, like RAICES, that use funds to post bail and provide legal defense for detained people.This is one of the fastest ways to reunite immigrants with their family, said Pilar Weiss, project director at the National Bail Fund Network.

david jay, the cishet gentleman who made the asexual pride flag is a homophobe and pervert but i don’t see anybody leaving yall out of pride. hes never apologized for his actions, whereas miss emily gwen (creator of the lesbian flag) is literally not even involved in ace discourse. i understand that you all hate dykes but yall could stand to be a bit less blatant about it

[stfudiscoinfernoed-archive]

Cishet ace/aro worries: What if I go to Pride and someone says I don’t belong? Why can’t I call myself queer? Why didn’t the Supreme Court mention aces and aros in their queer employment case even though aces/aros don’t face employment discrimination?

Actual LGBT worries: Can I prove my job reduced my hours because I’m trans? Did that apartment reject our application because we’re a gay couple? Will I be harassed traveling to another country because my passport still has my sex assigned at birth? If I hold hands with my partner in public will we be assaulted or have slurs yelled at us? Will people accuse me of making them uncomfortable just by using the same changing room as them? Will my healthcare needs be covered?

asexual positivity post

asexuality is a valid identity ✔️

asexuals aren’t broken or incapable of love ✔️

asexuality should be more widely represented in media and education ✔️

lots of asexual people find comfort in finding a label that fits them and that means they aren’t alone in their experiences ✔️

nobody should ever be pressured to have sex ✔️

asexuals face a lot of difficulties ✔️

all of this somehow makes asexuals LGBT ❌

honestly realizing im a lesbian did wonders to my self esteem??? like. ive always liked Girls, and ive always known that, but coming to terms w/ the fact that i like girls exclusively took off so much of the pressure that i had on myself? when i was like “hey its ok to be a lesbian” it was like a switch went off and a billion things felt right and fell into place and i suddenly like myself a whole lot more than i did before

listening to girl in red with headphones as loud as you can in the middle of the night, feeling content inside, that you’ve found who you are

that’s a good feeling

[wlw-wonderings]

can we kiss,,, and have the whole world melt away,,,, just us alone

[narrystyles]

I want to make it clear: I am not a person of color, so please, if I am in anyway being insensitive or unhelpful in my support, please feel free to educate and correct me. and that’s all I’ll say on that, bc this is not abt me.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

then you hug me and i hug you and you hug me tighter and i hug you tighter and i’m just thinking i never want to let go

[scorpiorisingfemme]

the idea that anyone who approaches sex in an unconventional way (asexuals, kinky people) is LGBT is a direct product of the perception of gay sex as deviant and strange

reblog with your zodiac sign and if you love thunderstorms or not

[sapphic-yearnings]

sagittarius, yes

[yehudah]

full offense but cis people dont get to call us shemales and trannies and femboys and traps and “its”, and campaign to “drop the T” in LGBT and deprive trans people of resources and beat the shit out of us in bathrooms and make fun of us for having “baby faces” and strip us of our rights and murder us for being trans and joke about how we “identify as an apache attack helicopter”, only to turn around and call themselves “allies” when they police OUR identities, just because they call themselves “cis transmeds”! i cant!! im not fucking allowing it!!!

[yehudah]
