#ICE raids

[thekimspoblog]

What's more appropriate on this holiday celebrating freedom than to be part of someone's liberation journey? We need your help to liberate Monsuru, a gay, Black Nigerian man who has been detained by ICE since early 2021, making this a truly urgent situation!

In his own words, from a 2021 protest behind ICE detention walls,

"The mental torture of not knowing my future is unimaginable,” said Monsuru, a detained Nigerian asylum seeker currently on hunger strike. “I’m therefore pleading for my life. I am really scared. The laws in my country are used to legitimize abuses against LGBTQ people, including widespread extortion, violence, lynching, arbitrary arrest, and torture in detention, both physical and sexual. I am pleading for my life here. I know if I am returned back to my country, from the moment I step out at the airport in Nigeria, it’s over. Please, whatever you can do to get me out of here, I really appreciate it. I hope to be at one of these rallies one day."

“Even when Black asylum seekers are able to reach U.S. land, they are targeted disproportionately for detention and deportation,” said April Newman, Vaccine Education & Empowerment in Detention (VEED) Manager at the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice. “Today we shared testimony from Monsuru, a detained Nigerian asylum seeker who has been on hunger strike for more than eight weeks. Monsuru is risking his life in trying to save it, because he knows he will be in great danger if he is deported back to Nigeria."

Help save a life, literally. Even $5 can get us towards our goal. Monsuru's ICE bond is set at $15,000-- a high bond, but not insurmountable. Our goal is to raise the funds and get Monsuru free this week. Donate here, and thank you for helping making a difference.

Towards liberation,

the NORCAL RESIST team

"Tim. Tim..." She whispered, gently shaking his shoulder to wake him. It seemed after some delay due to the snow storm, they had finally arrived at North City. Other passengers around them were already starting to gather their things from the luggage shelf and file out of the cabin, and she didn't want to get caught behind them.

She took a cursory glance out the window, noticing that there weren't as many military personnel stationed on the platform, at least not compared to East City. They could have focused more of their military power at the fort further north, or there may have been officers out of uniform, wearing street clothes to blend in. Either way, she knew that speed and discretion were of the utmost importance in a situation like this, and the more time they spent inside this cramped space, the more likely they were to lag behind and get caught.

They needed to get out in the open, where Anton was waiting for them.

"Come on, it's time to go. We can't afford to linger."

A single reptilian eye opened, if he wasn't already awake the shrill ear splitting was more then enough to do it without her.

"I wasn't 'sleep," He groaned letting out a long hiss, stiffly uncurling his legs having been in the same curled position for the majority of the train ride. Perhaps not the best idea

There was no chance of him sleeping on this ride, the sheer overwhelm on his sense would have seen to that. From the thunderous rumbling and clattering metal of the train racing over the tracks to the thick concentrated scents confined to the car, with a particularly strong perfume that wafted through.

No. Sleep wasn't liable to occur not till he got somewhere safer. Although getting proper sleep was out of the question it hadn't stopped him from taking a moment to close his eyes now then, which was only possible due to Luna's presence offering some safety.

--

Upon standing up a sharp pin prickling tingle shot up his right foot the moment it touch the floor. Timaeus reached behind to lightly press at the base of his tail around his lower back, which had become quite painfully cramped up without being able properly uncurl and relax the muscles properly for quite sometime.

As he turned his head to glance out the window to get a look at where they were Timaeus noticed from his faint reflection the reptilian appearance of his eye. Damn, he could only guess the exhaustion was making it hard to maintain appearance. Swiftly a gloved hand was raised to make it appear as if he was just rubbing the sleep from his eye upon lowering it had returned to it's human like state.

With everyone so busy trying to get off hopefully that meant no one had noticed his momentary abnormality.

What do you call a pile of jets?

They've found the sun room and are happily sprawled all together in a tangle of limbs.

Even Air Raid is basking happily, tucked against Silverbolt on one side and Slingshot on the other.

@fierymountaineer Fulgora walked up with Corentin, watching her husband go off somewhere else. She got to work with red and blue from Kanto today, having battled them earlier in the week to get that out of their systems

today's entirely arbitrary headcanon is that quinn loves ice cream. any ice cream. he's really not fussy. he settles down after a job with a cheap tub from the corner store on his lap, digging into it like it's an indulgence, licking the spoon clean and making occasional appreciative noises, and the first time eliot sees this little ritual he just stares at quinn like he doesn't even know him.

a person could speculate that quinn didn't have consistent access to freezers when he was growing up. a person could speculate there weren't ice-cream vans wherever he lived, or he didn't have the money or the freedom to buy from them. a person could speculate - but eliot, after the initial coming to terms with it, doesn't.

eliot grumbles to himself and sees to it that quinn has good options in the freezer. eliot branches out in the kitchen and uses quinn as a guinea pig for ice-cream experiments. eliot comes back to the apartment with him after a job, both of them bruised and exhausted, and splits a tub of cheap corner store ice cream with him, and goddamn enjoys it.

#the post-job routine goes roughly 1) check apartment security 2) check phones 3) steal eliot's sweatpants 4) raid the freezer #and I for one am delighted for him. #yes I just stared at the 'favourite thing' box on sv and panicked and wrote ice cream why do you ask #yes it is still fairly warm here why do y #headcanons etc #quinn leverage #quinneliot #orig #look. sigh. SIGH. the man deserves an indulgence. #the man deserves an indulgence that makes eliot wince and that he secretly enjoys too #because sugar and because post-job endorphins and because *quinn* likes it. #there isn't much more to it than that.
