The border patrol has been a cult of brutality since 1924.

The Border Patrol Has Been a Cult of Brutality Since 1924
Since its founding, the U.S. Border Patrol has arguably been the most politicized and abusive branch of federal law enforcement.

We need all of us when they come for any of us. Healers cooks fighters artists tech survival and transportation and communication and organization. Immigrants are us. BIPOC are us. We are the rest of each other. Solidarity with Minneapolis and anywhere the big NOPE is blooming.

Renee Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Shot dead by ICE. Aliya Rahman yanked from her car. Children used as bait, kidnapped.The government is terrorizing and rounding up your neighbors. Enabling genocidal violence. Join the resistance and be of service to your community.

If it were up to me, geriatric would-be invaders of Greenland would be sent out on an ice floe or maybe just rethink their life goals from an extended meditation retreat period atop the ice sheet. Perhaps a polar bear could discuss arctic life with him too?

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Count me among the legions of humans who feel the world is a little less of the best humans have to give without her. I feel gratitude. I feel love. I feel strangely bereft, whether or not I have a right to.

This singular human was more important to me privately, personally, than my parents, to be honest, if by important we might mean something to live for, something to love. I admired her life force, her life choices, her living and being more than any other human on the planet, I think.

I am not much into heroes. The whole concept is a bit suspect to me, in narrative and in life. I lean Le Guin, I suppose. I profoundly understand how leadership qualities in some beings are useful to the group, I just don't think they are more important than other beautiful being qualities.

you can join a mutual aid network in your community. you can start collecting supplies with a small group of people to help other people and each other. you can double-down on neighborhood watch groups--redirected toward the new police state and protecting your neighbors and each other.

or if someone is suffering, their family in danger, afraid to leave their house, might they need a meal? resources about their rights or phone numbers to call in an emergency? something soft or beautiful dropped of at their door? a poem the body can travel on? a hand?

or even the most simple of simple: if an adult in transition close to you is growing their first adult mustache, one they worked their whole life to arrive at, or sprouting their first boobs, recognize them.
