I just saw the movie Nuremberg about the Nuremberg trials and it was…very resonant.

I’m grateful for all of you who choose to fight alongside me.

So while we give thanks today, let’s also hold space for the people spending this holiday separated from their families. Let’s refuse to look away from what our government—at every level—is doing in our name. And let’s commit to fighting for systems rooted in dignity, safety, and freedom.

A seat goes empty, and the harm ripples far beyond one day on the calendar.

This administration is accelerating deportations, expanding detention, and running high-visibility enforcement operations designed to instill fear. None of this pauses just because it’s a holiday. When ICE takes someone from their home or their community, a family loses the chance to be together.

Judges setting unaffordable bail amounts that guarantee people stay in custody. These decisions tear families apart every single day.

People think of family separation as something that only happens at the border, but it’s happening everywhere right now. ICE raids. Detention center round-ups. Local prosecutors pushing for unnecessary pretrial detention.

Our systems treat family separation like an acceptable byproduct of “public safety,” but every single one of these separations is the result of a policy choice.

I hope you’ll take time today and throughout the holidays to think about the kids, sisters, brothers, spouses, and parents spending the holidays without their loved one because that person is locked in a cage.

Many haven’t been convicted of any crime. They’re detained simply because they’re too poor to buy their freedom—or because ICE decided their presence in this country makes them a target.
