Thank you so much!

The Time!! Whew, I had this album at some point! Major throwback!

To help in #Maine, donate to the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project (ILAP) ilapmaine.org/donate

To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like:

The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/

Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate

Or Google your city/state & “immigrant defense” to find your local heroes!

And please thank lawyers doing this work. We’re carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances.

If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. They’ve been at it the longest and have the least resources.

30/end?

Yes to all of this. I often think in whose interest it is to pretend not to grasp what's going on. How folks are positioning themselves in this moment suggests a lot about what they are inclined to protect.

And, also, they are going for it-- not just through DOGE style mass layoffs, but by becoming the infrastructure of mass deportations and private prisons. I think workers are very much caught trying to sort the real threat of an LLM, for example, and more general political economic madness we're in.
