We don't have much time left. Everyone within these institutions has to put aside their defensiveness and accept responsibility. Center your heart with the most vulnerable and your mind on the truth, and then relentlessly speak that truth before it's too late.

I get that we need to see the examples of immigration control gone "too far". I also think we need to be articulating that any denial of human freedom to leave one place and go to another leads to oppression and border policing is just never good for human society.
Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.
She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.
Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.
Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed?
