A photo of a protest sign written boldly in Spanish, held by a woman who seems to me to represent the the face of two things, exactly who is being deported and exactly who should be embraced and defended. Defenseless, fearful, and determined. #StandwithHer

People in front of Tweed new Haven Airport with a large yellow sign big enough that three people span its length the hold it. In blue block letters against a yellow background it reads, Avelo Deportations. We won't fly until they stop ICE flights."

At the Avelo protest a group of people hold protest signs. The most obvious one in this picture reads, "Boycott Avelo." It is held by a grey haired woman.

A long line of Avelo protestors standing with signs outside of the Tweed New Haven Airport.

Protesters outside Tweed New Haven Airport to speak out against Avelo Airlines' deportation flights. Organized by the Guilford Peace Alliance, who’ve protested injustice every Saturday in Guilford, CT since 1979. How cool is that? @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Colorful street scene in Havana, Cuba, captured in natural light in a side-street gathering place filled with impoverished merchants selling low-priced goods. A crowd of local people stands near a sunlit wall, each facing a different direction, creating a feeling of stillness and tension. Warm tones of ochre and coral dominate the frame. Photographed by Frank Blackwell on digital format using a Leica Q3 camera.

"Color, light, rhythm, and the feeling of an entire country waiting for something that might never come." ~ Frank Blackwell
