I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Love this piece in The Guardian. But can we allow for feeding a movement AND promoting mutual understanding, both are important and worth fighting for. Two different lenses for understanding belonging. So much to think about, thank you @saigrundy.bsky.social
