Indistinguishable from a kidnapping (because it is) but exercising their illegitimate authority in such a way to provoke maximum fear - that they could be operating anywhere without warning or ID, and being unidentified, practically inviting attempts to resist that can be used to justify their acts.

We’re thinking of changing things this year and partnering with a youth org for our racial justice session but it would be so cool to have copies of your work to share with our students (predominantly first gen and students of color)! Also open to a virtual or in-person visit if you’re interested!

In my three years in that court, I never saw a white child shackled.
