The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud."
Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

Dear history fans, what objects would you like to see in an exhibition on privateering & life at sea in the 18th century? Everyday objects, letters, navigational instruments, or something unexpected? It will also explore forced migration. I’d love to hear your thoughts #earlymodern #maritimehistory

I feel like this is a metaphor for MAGA: bunch of mediocre white guys trying to erase the actual factual racist past. The America they’re making great “again” has no real issue with slavery. (Among other things).
It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.
