Undocumented for 20 years. Cis, she/her. 137 weeks sober. Unite Ireland. Free Palestine. Abolish ICE. Immigrants deserve rights. Republican, not in the American way. If you have to ask, Google it. My President is better than yours.

I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be documented after 20 years if not for the financial help and emotional support I received.
It just wouldn't have been possible. And it's the first thing I think about every time I think about my green card.

Just a gentle reminder that everything we're thankful for is due to the grace and help of others and, for many of us, a heaping dose of unearned privilege. None of us has ever truly done anything on our own.
Who we are is often the result of the emotional labor of teachers, parents, and mentors.

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)
