If—for whatever reason—you don't (or can't) do anything special today, can't (or won't) be with others, won't (even if you want to) celebrate this day, I see you. (In fact, I see us.)
Even if you've muted words, you'll see posts about what others are doing. That's OK.
And so are we. ❤️

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I won’t be spending a dime at Target, Home Depot or Amazon this week.
Target is a no-go zone for me. I fully received the message when they told me my money wasn’t shit to them.
Home Depot is DEAD to me too. Sicking ICE on peaceful productive workers turns my stomach.
And Amazon. Well
