It sickens me this is occuring in the United States...
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

So many towns and cities are just like this... lacking safe bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure!
You are so Nashville if your kid's 1.5 mile ride to school requires a practice run on a Sunday morning, stringing together a convoluted route of sidewalks and alleyways because there's not a shred of bicycle infrastructure to keep her safe.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Case in point, I saw this on Facebook posted by a MAGA.
