They just know that their dad isn't there.

And I need people to understand, you know, think about.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine being away from your family for two weeks and counting, not knowing anything?

when you're going to come back, if you're going to come back, if you're going to die in detention, can you imagine being the child of someone?

And a lot of people don't have to imagine.

I'm saying this for like, you know, white people and privileged people who don't have to think about these things or can get away with just going about business as usual.

Because there are a lot of us who have immigrant family and have loved ones who this has been done to.

And we don't get to go about our day's business as usual because it's just not possible.

It's just not possible.

It would be like asking me to go about my life business as usual when my family in Lebanon and Palestine are being bombed.

Yeah.

Like, it's not possible.

It is not possible.

All of these things are connected.

Our lives are connected.

And we owe it to each other to pay attention and to witness, especially because we are seeing that they will kill you for paying attention and witnessing because they don't want you to be able to exercise that right.

Yeah.

That's all I'll say.

I'm not going to give specifics.
