I understand that you'll want to help.

But yeah, if this is something that like you're organizing around, super easy to find those organizations to be like, how can I help?

Yeah.

And it's also such a good, like this fight in particular is such a good vehicle for fighting for abolition overall.

As someone who's been saying abolish ICE for years, it is amazing to see how much traction that phrase has gotten, especially over the last six months.

And

We can't just be fighting against preventing new ICE facilities.

We need to be fighting for shutting down all ICE facilities and for abolishing ICE as an institution.

We've been around before ICE, and we will be around after ICE.

As an agency, ICE has only been around since 2003.

Sure, there was a predecessor, there was the INS, but I mean, it didn't operate in nearly the type of way that ICE does now as this, you know, law enforcement agency.

And even before Trump, like, ICE was still a really, you know, horrible, like, horrible agency.

And so, yeah, I think it's important to continue to, you know, point these things out while also, you know, welcoming people into the fight and pushing them farther.

Yeah, I think that's really important.

Like, I think we have to rebut the assumption that this is an aberration and we can fix it and go back to normal because normal was bad and you just couldn't see it because it wasn't.

on your screen right like children died in outdoor detention under biden i saw people suffer immensely in outdoor detention under biden like we don't want to go back to that either and i think it's really important that when we build these coalitions we build them with that in mind that like we're organizing very quickly but also we're in this for the long haul until everybody's free

Is there anything that you'd like to leave people with, resources or a bit of advice, any closing words you'd like to share with them?

Apologize.

That's all I got.

Perfect.
