"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them."

Phone is about to get shut off -
Thank you so much for everyone’s patience and support 🖤

I do want to get everything taken care of before the holiday, so anything helps. I’ve already taken care of a lot already so it’s helping tremendously.

Now, an organization says they've prepared, have private clinics and financial aid ready for families that need them.

This joy and hope carries movements and it is OURS. Any article or post that doesn’t pass the sabotage test can simply suck it!!
So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

My stipend from class has been cut down, and I’ve fallen so behind on rent and bills while going to school and looking for grooming jobs. Food stamps are gone and Ichi is about to run out of food, and my car needs work. I’m sick and tired of asking for help but I have no choice. I appreciate it 🖤
