Yeah, not just white women, because obviously Renee's murder is horrific.

And I saw her be able to raise one point four million dollars in less than a day.

And Albaro's campaign has been at fourteen thousand dollars for more than a week.

And we can't raise more money because people have so much more sympathy and empathy for white people.

And that is actually so tied into why ICE does the things they do because of that same whiteness, that same white supremacy where they think we can do whatever we want to immigrants and brown people.

Who's going to care?

Absolutely.

And they count on us to do that.

And they count on us to not be paying enough attention that we can't keep track of how shitty their data is and how inconsistent their data is and all of the numbers we don't have.

Absolutely.

Exactly.

And that is why I find it so important and why I am doing the work that I am doing alongside everyone else who's doing this kind of work to uplift stories and tell them because they can't be told by the immigrants themselves right now because they're being tortured inside detention.

Yeah.

It's so crucial for people to understand that these are not numbers.

These are not just names on a page.

These are real people's lives.

This is a real man whose three children, whose three young children have now gone to bed without him every night for two weeks.

They don't know where their dad is.

They don't know why he's not there.

They don't know why he's apparently being tortured.
