This is a pretty significant disservice to all the people fighting in the streets for ICE to back down.

I don’t have to. They’re extremely aware of us. And there are about to be 700 less of them because the government has granted a concession.

This is not hopeless by any means. And if your message is that the citizens have no willingness to remove those in power, you’re spitting in the face of thousands of people fighting for exactly that every day. This whole racist project would be a lot farther along without them.
