I wish I could make it so that every population experiencing genocide wasn't. I want all peoples to be safe & able to self-determine. Alas, I am but a teacher who is struggling with housing security myself. So I will do my best to share & elevate because everyone deserves to be safe

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.
