This. Abolish ICE is not enough. "Secure" borders and no accessible legal pathways mean my friends and I will be finding human remains of people who came here asking us for help for years to come, this is not a world any of us should want to live in.
DanaMPatton@danampatton.bsky.social · last mo.Hard borders mean ppl die. I heard @jamesstout.bsky.social say that once on a podcast and wow has it stuck with me. I don't want people to die, and immigrants are not a threat to me or my family or community.

Digital rework of a linocut corn maiden I carved. ‘Crying the neck’ is a harvest tradition where the last sheaf of wheat is venerated with song by the local community and turned into corn dolly to be displayed in a prominent place in a village, representing the end the harvest cycle.

The Prairieland cartoonist/zinester who got 30 years for making a zine. Still short of the goal for funding his fight against this total travesty of justice. A gullible rural jury brainwashed by rightwing media, and the most fascist judge in the country. Donate & push this over the finish line.
