Ian Roberts wasn’t just arrested,he was made into a warning.
A Black immigrant educator hunted by ICE, despite passing every check.
This is visibility turned vulnerability. We’ve seen it before.
The state calls it enforcement. We call it erasure. #FreeDrRoberts #RadicalEmpathy

Tomorrow:
“Heat shimmers over cut grass, Beatles in my ears, Stones waiting their turn. My grandson waves from the window while, beyond the fence, the country unravels in slow motion. The mower hums, and I keep moving, holding to small rituals when nothing else will hold.”

The Sidney Sweeney moment isn’t about her. It’s about the projection. Republican men using a young woman as a symbol, a doll for their narrative. They praise her now. They'll discard her later. They always do. We've seen this story before.
