Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 63 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The Israeli government’s closure of six UNRWA schools in Jerusalem has left over 800 Palestinian students without school, and has thrown an entire community into limbo. Residents say it's all part of a larger attack on Palestinian refugees.

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

Israel bombed a “safe zone” in Gaza.
It set tents on fire.
8 children were burned alive. Their bones melted.
A mother and her kids were charred beyond recognition.
The stench of human flesh filled the air.
