The other part is that there’s tons of cascading problems that require systemic solutions, most notably, getting people economic support who haven’t been able to work for the past two (or more) months because the federal government was trying to ethnically cleanse them. Rent is due this week.

You’re seeing this most acutely in schools, more kids are coming back, but there’s still a lot who are at home, and patrols and rides for the vulnerable must continue apace even if people want to think all of the bad stuff has ended.

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing. everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

Duh

Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
