Sickened tonight, listening to the stories of the many people living in this state, who refuse to evacuate areas threatened by Hurricane Florence; not because they don't believe there is a danger or because they aren't terrified—
—but because they fear entering a public shelter makes them vulnerable to ICE.
This is where we are now: people would rather face the fury of a natural disaster than the cruelty of our Government, and I don't blame them.

The transfer of ten million dollars from FEMA to ICE, crystalizes this Administration's commitment to cause trauma, not help people in it—and it's a flat-out human rights disgrace.
And before you want to post some nonsense here about people like me wanting open borders or no accountability, save it.
We can have laws and systems and safeguards, but we can also have compassion and respect for humanity under duress, and seek to do no harm.

Right now, we only have a party whose sole priority is fear: creating it, perpetuating it, legislating it.
That's not a country we want our children to inherit.
