What I will say is that this never should have happened to begin with. End family detention. Defund and dismantle ICE.

City Hall steps and balconies covered in students
Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:
As someone with a profound but unrepentant emdash addiction it is driving me mad seeing commenters yell βAI slop!!!β whenever there is even a single β anywhere in the copy.
Thousands in #Seattle march down Pine in protest of #ICE
Find your rep here and call. They care about phone messages more than they care about online posts and memes.

This. You were paid a lot and a lot of power and responsibility were placed on your shoulders. You preened for years on how important your roles were. And then at the first adverse wind you folded like cheap lawn chairs while ordinary people took up the torch of the values you claimed to defend.

The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.β
