A year ago Elon Musk tweeted that he had fed USAID "into the wood chipper."
It was an act that killed people. We don't know most of their names, but we know 27. I've listed them below.
Much like with Renee Good + Alex Pretti, we should also remember these lives taken by the cruel men who lead us

Punishing law-abiding neighbors for coming to our country after their family supported US efforts overseas and seeking legal status the right way should never end up with detention. I have sat in Emran and Sajad's home, shared a meal with them, and see no threat having them in our community.
