Horrifying. When we used to say it can't happen here, well now we know it can happen here. When we sked ourselves how could they have done that? Well now we know.

This is exactly how my formerly undocumented husband + I felt living in hiding for 12 years. Now that we left our home in the US to wait out his 10 year bar to reentry abroad, I am so relieved to not be afraid anymore - but my heart breaks for all the undocu + mixed status families still there!

When is violence the answer ? Don't say never as 6,000 years of human civilization would prove otherwise. People can only be pushed so far.

The terror is the point.

And this is how Americans like it. Fear. Control. Brutality. Deep in the American heart, these provide comfort and solace.

If ICE took her "neighbor's dad," doesn't that mean he was in the country illegally?

@willbunch.bsky.social is appalled by President Trump's pardon of the #J6 political prisoners, but apparently supports illegal immigrants being in our country illegally.

Hiding in the attic. Where have I heard that before?

These ICE agents are thugs. I hope each and every one of them never sleeps again.
