“Greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil…but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” CS Lewis

BIA’s recent ruling deterring immigration judges from granting bond tramples on human rights and will lead to unnecessary, prolonged detainment, which in turn will lead to increasingly dangerous, overcrowded, under-resourced detention centers. #immigration

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

God. I’m so tired from it all that I can’t get my thoughts together enough to coherently express how concerning this type of censorship is.

I’ll be at the No Kings protest tomorrow in Marietta with my kids and husband. If we let them silence us now, we may never get our voices back.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.

All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

Are the family values in the room with us?

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.
