Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

People keep saying "But what can I do?" It occurred to me that I have a job that can be done from anywhere. So, I bought a plane ticket to #Minneapolis and will be out filming in front of schools next week. Also down to do game design in schools or math tutoring with any kids that need it.
