First they came for my neighbor, the immigrant, & deported him, breaking up his family, but I didn't say anything because he was just a neighbor.
#DontLookAway
Then they came for the refugees, separated their children and jailed them, but I didn't say anything because they were not my children.
#FreeThemAll
#FundOurFuture
Then they took my friend's land to build an ugly, destructive and useless racist wall, but I didn't say anything because it wasn't my land.
#DefundTheWall
Then they failed to warn us in time to lay low (while they protected their stock portfolios), and we find ourselves in the midst of a pandemic stalked by death. But I didn't say anything because they say it's nobody's fault.
#TrumpPandemicFailure
Now they're taking our assistance and forcing us to go back to work, to make their money, while the raging fires of a pandemic remain unabated, at the risk of losing our, not their, lives. But I can't do anything because I need to feed my baby.
#CapitialismKills
Now I see them marching on the streets of Portland and the streets of DC, shooting and clubbing people, and threatening to march in your city, while Trump waves the Bible and hugs the American flag.

As I've struggled against the government for the past 3 years in legal defense of separated children so many of you have asked what you could do to help rescue the children. You lifted fighters like @RAICESTEXAS, @AlOtroLado_Org, @ACLU, @EveryLastOne1, @JusticeInMotion,...1/
You lifted us with your voices, your funding, your activism. Thousands of separated & interned children have been rescued because of this #Resistence, & are held once again in the arms of their families. Thousands are still being held.

And so I plead to you once again...2/
Let's finish this job in one f'n swoop. Let's bring down the supremacists raining fascist cruelty on children. To so many of you who have asked "how can I help the children". Now is your chance to make all the difference.

Because of #FamilySeparaton my client lost her 2 young daughters (6 and 8) to ICE, after BP wrenched them from their screaming mother. It took a trip to federal court to reunite them. 1/
Because of #FamilySeparation my 8 yo client was stranded in the US, alone without family or friends, with no voice, in an internment camp, after his father was deported without him. It took a trip to federal court to have his father returned to the US & reunited with his son. 2/
Because of #FamilySeparation my client was deported without her 6 yo son. It took a trip to federal court, and a trip to Guatemala, before we could deliver the child to his mother. 3/

A call to action from the border to the heatland. All stops are off as the @NoBorderWallLTX takes its GOTV efforts nationwide, rallying young Americans to vote against the militarization of the border. Now is the time.
Let's GOTV - together. 1/
#RiverWarriors
#DefundTheWall
Help us bring out a sea of young faces to the polls & end the cruelty along the border. The family separations, the land confiscation, the walls security zones, razor wire, floodlights, drones, choppers, military patrols. The #Resistance needs you now.

We aim to flip AZ and TX. The youth vote is our target. Music, art, activism, persistence, passion, family, desire, are our sticks of dynamite with which we'll blow the legs off the tyranny raining on the border.

Why do we build the wall?
My children, my children
Why do we build the wall?

Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free

How does the wall keep us free?
My children, my children
How does the wall keep us free?

How does the wall keep us free?
The wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall
We build the wall to keep us free
Who do we call the enemy
My children, my children?
Who do we call the enemy?

Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy
And we build the wall to keep us free
That's why we build the wall

"They can take me to jail. I don't have many years left anyway."

Enrique Medina is 91 and a Korean War veteran. Trump has sued to take his homestead in Texas. He's also a #RiverWarrior and a #Resister. 1/

Help us beat back the militarization of the Border. Join our fight in the belly of the fascist beast. Please chip in and help fund our struggle. 2/

Enrique Uribe is not alone. Border residents are turning their ire on Trump. Landowners, veterans, mothers, and patriots have created an uprising in south Texas against his racist border wall. We will make him pay.

BP led out-of-town Trump Train demonstrators intent on defacing our "Defund the Wall" street mural, and on humiliating our community were met by Laredo's finest.
