Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

- Yesterday students from Crescenta Valley High walked out to protest unconstitutional anti-immigrant brutality and to call to abolish ICE. Today, Hoover High School students did the same, joining students across SoCal and across the country. Solidarity with all students! Justice for all people!

- Reposted by GUSD Parents20% of the students at Justice Page Middle School in SW Minneapolis are attending remotely b/c they're terrified to leave their homes. Their families can't work & rent is past due. Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsChildhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsThe two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsTwo children from Liam Ramos' school who were detained by ICE have been released and are back in MN with their mother. Their Columbia Heights principal, who had to deliver the kids to Whipple last week (as described below), picked them up from the airport. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsIt’s weird to me that democrats are demanding body cams (useless) but not demanding all the children in camps be released. They could call it the Liam Act. Why are they not doing such easy slam dunk work?

- The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3
- Local private school parent & antipublic ed reactionary Jill Simonian isn’t stopping at replacing factual, comprehensive curriculum w/ ai-created propaganda. She and PragerU are working non-stop to funnel public funds into their own pockets. More on Jill’s years-long grift: bsky.app/profile/gusd...

- Reposted by GUSD Parents“In my profession, I have seen many people break down in grief, but that image of Elizabeth’s father will stay with me forever,” she said. “I watched him sit in his car, bury his head in his hands, and cry uncontrollably. Those are images you do not forget.”
- Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...
- Despite being in San Diego, Amy Reichert and people like her are highly connected with reactionary activists and groups across SoCal, including in Glendale where she has promoted the violent LOKA group. Just like with anti-trans propaganda, it seems the NY Times is playing a role here too.
- Literally the same people and orgs who funded, manufactured, and amplified reactionary panics about pandemic safety measures, CRT, LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum, sex Ed, and trans kids in sports (leading to riots and harassment campaigns in our district/across SoCal) using the SAME tactics again.

- Reposted by GUSD ParentsMy 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

- It’s been awhile but professional anti-trans activist and very troubling parent Clare Erin Friday continues to change her story about her child, now boosted by former adult film performer and anti-public school reactionary Corey DeAngelis and propaganda channel The Epoch Times.
- We’ve covered Erin’s obsession w/eradicating trans people extensively. Corey’s caption may be a mistake given Erin doesn’t say her child was taken by CPS- only that they visited her home. In other interviews she’s claimed to have detransitioned the child by sending them to a “hard labor” camp.

- Reposted by GUSD ParentsAfter executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
- If you want to understand right wing media listen to @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social or the Know Your Enemy podcast or @fivefourpod.bsky.social which provide contextual, historical, and philosophical background to understand the continuity of right wing thought over the last century (and longer).
- Reposting to make my point a little more clearly: these folks have a correct (albeit much too late and seemingly shallow) sense that right-wing media is important. But listening to this stuff to gawk at it doesn't help you. You need context/analysis to make it useful www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/s...

- Reposted by GUSD ParentsI don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
- Not good enough- call your senators (and add Schumer to the list). It’s defund, abolish and prosecute. Nothing less. 5calls.org/issue/dhs-bu...
- Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...
- Reposted by GUSD Parents"I am 5 years old" Shut it all down. All of it. ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, the entire Republican Party, all the fascist billionaires, X, Tesla, Avelo, and every Democrat who supports them. It's evil through and through.

- Reposted by GUSD ParentsICE has detained at least 3,800 kids under the second Trump administration — more than 500 of whom were under 5 years old. Children shouldn't be locked up by our government.
- Seriously disturbing to see 1 of the local GOP’s most vocal& influential “mama bears” crowing for more state murders. We knew she was dangerous when for yrs she anonymously spread false info abt public ed & amplified attacks on school districts she has no connection to, but this is frightening.

- Reposted by GUSD Parents/3 In this moment of horror, look at the people of MN. They’re not an army. Few are trained for urban combat, through there are many veterans. They are young and old and rich and poor. They are standing up at great personal danger, defying a despicable Gestapo government and its vile apologists.
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsThe official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1
- Reposted by GUSD Parentsin trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsThe amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.
- Reposted by GUSD ParentsAll of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
