On Saturday, 30 youth activists and a journalist were arrested blockading the entrance to the Krome ICE Detention Facility near Miami, Florida. The activists have been held overnight with bail set at $1,200 per person. The activists were standing in solidarity with immigrant neighbors being disappeared from their homes, schools, and businesses by the Fascist Trump Administration. Please help us get our friends out of jail, cover their legal fees and associated costs, so they can continue fighting creeping authoritarianism in our country.

Their Go Fund Me for bail and legal fees: https://gofund.me/f2929f301

Funds will be used to reimburse organizers for bail which they paid out of pocket, to cover the costs of return travel for the protesters, and to cover any further legal costs that may arise from their arrest. Any funds left over will be used for mutual aid (rent, groceries, bills, and unexpected emergency expenditures for poor and working class organizers) to support pro-democracy organizing in the United States.

Imagine those officers’ families, years from now, seeing their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, etc., when they’re showing these videos in social studies, learning about fascism

You know I think it will be similar to how kids in the south for the last 100+ years have dealt with seeing their ancestors names on Confederate monuments and in school textbooks, it will slowly be massaged into being a "good thing actually" or "not that bad" and you will have those who will deny that Noem killed her dog in a gravel pit or something.

Pretty sure Florida banned those books, and burned them.
