A 4-panel Comic watercolor + pen, with digital lettering. Panel 1: The panel is split nearly in half-diagonally. Top/Left is in various shades of blue and depicts a Metro Transit Blue Line Train, the train is bisected at the diagonal. Bottom/Right in various shades of gray is a Boston Green Line train. Caption 1 [Typeface is emulates handwriting, above the train]: I read that the light rail to the general strike rally in Minneapolis was so packed some people had to wait for up to four trains to pass before they could board. Caption 2 [Below the train]: A day later, I boarded a Green Line train in Boston to an emergency protest after Alex Pretti's execution. Panel 2: Interior of a Green Line Train, in shades of gray. We're looking straight on at a row of empty seats. Caption: I easily found a seat. I tried listening in to learn if anyone one else was heading to the protest. Shalee and I had been back in Boston for less than a week. We had to keep reminding people that "no, our winter break in Minneapolis was not relaxing." Panel 3: Interior Park Street Station, from the bottom of the stairs, and looking up and out of the station*. It is dark outside. The wide stairwell is empty, and the scene is colored in shades of gray. Four, spiked word balloons travel down the panel originating from outside. The balloons and tails are deteriorated, but they are colored bright blue. The text inside is also blue and blurred. Panel 4: Exterior. Boston Commons. A crowd, in various shades of bright blue, gather in front for the Boston Common Tablet at the NE side of the park. The crowd wears winter gear and holds up (wordless) signs. The background is shades of gray, and the crowd breaks free of the panel borders, bleeding out to the edge of the image. Crowd [Balloons have thick blue outlines, typeface looks like painted letters, words are also a vibrant blue] : WE'RE NOT COLD WE'RE NOT AFRAID! 'MINNE' TAUGHT US TO BE BRAVE! Caption: For the first time in weeks, I cried.

Here's a version all on one page #iceoutcomics #iceoutmpls #iceoutboston

blue, white, and gray comic page. Three rows of seven figures each are arranged in the center of the page, which is overlaid in text from the US Naturalization Oath. Textboxes read: [A little more than two months ago, ICE raided a naturalization ceremony at Faneuil Hall. They arrested twenty-one immigrants mere minutes away from swearing their oaths of citizenship.]

Faneuil Hall, white against a blue sky, stands tall. Textboxes read: [Many have denounced the attack as a betrayal of American values. What ground is more sacred than Faneuil Hall, the so-called “Cradle of Liberty”? What citizenship is more precious than the one earned through merit, grit, and love of country? The American Dream was waiting at the end of that narrow road— only to be cruelly snatched away upon arrival.]

Two hands reach for each other across the page: the one on the left handcuffed, the one on the right shackled in iron. The pose is reminiscient of Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. Textboxes read: [Faneuil Hall’s history runs deep— far deeper than its worshipers may realize. The Hall itself was named after its financier, prominent slave trader Peter Faneuil.] Below this is a silhouette of Faneuil Hall on a hill. Text placed underneath the Hall reads: [The temple to American liberty was built upon the enslavement and torture of Black bodies.]

An ICE officer, blue against a dark grat background, looks directly at the viewer and points his gun at them. Text reads: [Atrocities like the raid at Faneuil Hall pile up, overwhelming and increasingly violent, from sea to shining sea. How much of it is a betrayal of our valiant ideals, and how much of it is the baring of a false promise? At what point are the actions of our government no longer a mockery of the American Dream— but a symptom of the American Empire?]
