Reminder to myself and you: We are more (and less) than America, than Trump, than Epstein. We are the universe’s own breath. We are time’s progeny. We are stardust, moments in the gods’ own dance. We are art and love and the sun’s beloveds. We are the unspooling of the earth’s own birthing of life.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.
