The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

My home was destroyed by the occupation, and now I am living in a rented place.
I need to secure $500 to pay the landlord — if I can’t, we will be evicted.
This amount means a safe roof and security for my children. If you can help… your support is life to us.

![An informational poster watermarked [hashtag]NoNYMaskBan. The background is filled with stylized drawings of viruses. A group of masked people stands by a heading that says, "4 Reasons to (Re)Normalize Masking." Below it is a text box with various clip-art drawings illustrating every reason.
1. Apathy is violence: resist white supremacy by refusing to contribute to mass infection, disability, and death.
2. Destroy the state's argument that masking is only used by "criminals" to hide their identities.
3. Protect mask wearers from targeting: cops can't single them out if everyone is wearing a mask.
4. Combat the exclusion and erasure of disabled people from public spaces by making them safer.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jiyed6s77avxluvhhtvo4aml/bafkreiczuiv3cjdq54fopmgy5vqr5xcj66hlwc57fpm3gdg4esqpt5guzm@jpeg)
