Express righteous anger with your students. They deserve to see us vulnerable, angry, and all the emotions. It opens space for them to also feel the same and from that potentially to move in passion, spontaneity, and collectivity.

The plan to invade Haiti with US led UN forces to āneutralizeā 13,000 mostly young āgang membersā or āinsurgentsā in April will be another disaster if we do not interrupt this. Meanwhile they hope to deport 400,000 people there also.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight.
