The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

I talked with @ejeris.bsky.social about fascism, coalition building, and the compassion and shared knowledge we need to create safety and justice in these times. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or access a transcript + audio here:
Fascism Isn’t Coming — It’s Here. Now What?
“We don’t get to choose the people who show up for us and who save us sometimes,” says Ejeris Dixon.

I’m slowly moving over to this new platform…The first is from last year when I drove to Pleasanton for a fundraiser. The second is from a book I just started reading by Prentis Hemphill titled “What it Takes to Heal”. The last is getting me through hard days of 2025 so far. Thank you Tricia Hersey!
