I hear some people say we need to be outraged every day, but working in immigration or writing about immigration, that is every hour, every day. Being constantly angry and outraged isn’t sustainable.
It’s toxic, it’s unhealthy, it’s exhausting. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out a place that can work for me, where I can be an effective advocate but still not wear myself out.
I’m grateful to have a job where I’m offered a good amount of PTO, but I’m bad—really bad—at taking it.
When I do, I try to disconnect but it’s hard. My mind always wanders back to what’s happening, or could be happening. That’s another thing I’m trying to figure out.

I’m not sure where I was heading with this thread.
I just wanted to acknowledge what many of us in the immigration world are probably feeling these days.
Still, we’re undeterred in fighting for families. We’re not stopping. There’s just too much at stake.
