Remember to tell people that things have NOT DEESCALATED. Pulling 700 agents means there's 2,300 agents on our streets, terrorizing us and kidnapping our neighbors.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

there was a post going around awhile ago re. what a women’s sports version of “Heated Rivalry” might look like which enforces oppressive norms of femininity the way the men in Rachel Reid’s books feel trapped by oppressive norms of masculinity, and I have been thinking about this nonstop ever since

I also want to shout out the Wisconsin Talking Book and Braille Library. My brother is an avid reader using their audio player. When they heard what happened, they sent him a replacement player so he could have at least one normal thing back. They are a lovely lovely program.
Thank you so much again to everyone who has donated or shared the GoFundMe! It has been so heart-filling seeing the care and kindness for our family. (1/?)
Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark
On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.
He couldn’t hear their orders.
They denied him an interpreter.
Denied him accommodations.
This is who they are.
They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I spend a lot of time in Instagram, but just wanted to share here that I couldn't share a post about a forthcoming day of action in my stories. Just kept getting "upload failed" errors.
Anyway, January 30th. No business as usual.
