ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Institutionalists cannot stop this because they are locked into the system and unable and unwilling to propose the necessary changes to ward it off and so the momentum increases and they follow the trajectory. No one’s coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.
