One of the things I keep thinking about re: school closures/shifts to remote learning for safety precautions (or families needing to keep kids home for safety) is what’s happening with students who typically get free breakfast/lunch at school. That’s a lot of meals lost.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.
They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Rob Reiner apparently walked up to Billy Crystal, said "Forget the lines," and then there was thirty hours of - and I quote - "Medieval Yiddish Stand-up."
