time you open the news, I want you to know something those Londoners learned the hard way. You are a lot tougher than your fear thinks you are. You Already Know the Standard Advice Turn off the news. Stock the pantry. Call a friend. Get some sleep.

Researchers who studied it afterward found something surprising: the waiting…the dread…the not-knowing…had been harder on people than the bombs themselves. Read that again. The anticipation was worse than the event.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.
