Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ
7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody
The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

Once again, it is time to level curses at the hoarders of wealth, the architects of brutality, and the stealers of families, innocence, and dreams...

Scroll up for thread.

(And thank you to everyone organizing against these detention centers/internment camps in your communities)

This is unprecedented.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

There’s “no ethical consumption under capitalism,” & we all must make hard choices, daily.
I was an early adopter of Substack, my readers loved it, & it became an income stream.

I quit 2+ yrs ago when @marisakabas.bsky.social organized Substackers Against Nazis even though it hurt my business.

A broken twig forms the rune for wealth.

We are each other’s wealth.

“If your freedom causes more oppression, you’re not free.” — Tinu Abayomi-Paul

Tinu died because of systems that do not care for Black, disabled women. A believer in freedom, she never stopped helping others until the day she died.

The Crespo family was seized in a parking lot by agents in Portland OR as the parents arrived at urgent care seeking medical attention for their 7yo daughter Diana.

The Crespos have pending asylum applications and both have legal work permits.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Did you know Suleikha also wrote an antifascist romantic suspense shifter series where (unnamed) Cynthia Nixon became governor of NY?
She did! It’s called Third Shift and you can buy it.

Every city and town where concentration camps are being built or proposed needs to be reminded of this story.
Every city and town where agents are stealing people needs to be reminded of this story.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

“Knowing what must be done does away with fear.”

Periodic reminder that Rosa Parks was part of a community that trained for resistance and civil disobedience. Parks was an organizer and activist. She did not simply “decide to sit down one day.”
