Undocumented presence in the United States is NOT a crime.
It’s a civil offense.
Correct this whenever you hear it.

We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. - Bryan Stevenson

If you are, like me, a native born American, please take some time this week to make sure the immigrants in your life know that you are glad that they are here and part of your community, since our government seems focused on sending the opposite message

My dystopian nightmare is that in the not-too-distant future hordes of white people will be waving flags at parades celebrating the triumphs of ICE goons, chanting and swooning and wearing stupid red hats.

There are any number of legitimate reasons to use the passive voice, including not knowing who did the action you’re describing, or the whom is more interesting/germane than the who.
Exonerating the Gestapo is not one of those legitimate reasons.

White people, one of the most racist responses you can have to a Black person pointing out some racism is "convince me." Y'all are not in a position to decide whether racism exists or not. Stop calling us "angry" and accusing us of lying when we share the knowledge we have gained from facing racism.

Sometimes I think about what problems could be solved by all the wealth being hoarded. I think about what could be done for the children of the globe, the animals, land, water & for the FUTURE, if just a few greedy men wanted to HELP. There’s no way to accept the evil choices they make.

Hundreds of people have vanished from ICE's system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don't know where their loved ones are. This isn't deportation, it's kidnapping.
That's why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

On our daily walks, Gracie, Daisy, and I might encounter Central Americans playing soccer in the park, South Asians on the tennis courts, or a gay couple jogging by. We don’t concern ourselves with citizenship, language, or others’ relationships. We find comfort in the freedom of diversity.

I used to credit him simply for being the stupidest person on Fox, which (a) he is, and (b) is quite an accomplishment, but (c) this is really kicking it up a notch.

If your instinct is to say "We should all fight this because it could happen to any of us," that's true, but it's not all.
Let's get this through our collective heads ASAP: it shouldn't happen to anyone. You don't have to be scared for yourself to be mad at this.

“Gov. Greg Abbott urged Texas A&M to fire the professor seen in the video because they acted “contrary to Texas law,” although he did not say which law the professor had violated.”
Could that be because the prof didn’t violate any TX (or federal) law? 🤔
