Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

@ArthurIzzi I’m glad & I do hope we can talk again. Hope you have a really good day.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@AngryAFMario Yes they are! And I am also very worried about our country.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi Again, I am really so sorry I mixed you up & I will say it wasn’t making sense based on our discussion you are sensible & smart. And you are also kind. I hope to talk to you again.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi Maybe just a little? And I do appreciate that we managed to have a respectful conversation. Not a guarantee these days. I hope we can have more but, I do feel the need to delete most of this conversation where I gave personal details.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I’m very willing to entertain the idea that I could be wrong about things as I so often have been in my life. I am wrong like 100’s of times a day probably? But my moral compass is working just fine & after talking to you, I think I’m starting to understand you a little bit?

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I think that we are stuck on that you see this as a valid operation & I see it as a pretext to do the insurrection act because they want to prevent or rig midterms. Bondi’s letter is proof of this pretext. None of this is about immigration.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi You are right. My bad. Someone else said that. I see now that we disagreed about whether he was inserting himself inappropriately.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi But if you have something I could read about your theory, I will.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi Well when I hear an argument that the *only thing* preventing…I am suspect because in my experience, many data points come together to explain something.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi We have a constitutional right, some would say duty, to protest & to see what this agency is doing. I worked with the BPD psychologist for many years. I used to do this work & I believe I understand use of force policy. But you said we should ignore all that because it’s war.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi Alex was a nurse for the VA so I hope you can see how that occupation doesn’t comport with your assertion that he was choking that woman rather than helping her up.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I’ve always told my daughter that exact same thing. Always. But what we are seeing now is fascism & we must resist it. I wish we were face to face for this discussion because it contained many layers of details. So much gets lost in this type of communication

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I get death threats pretty frequently. Some have been potentially serious. And btw, when I was in the streets for law enforcement, I didn’t carry anything but pepper spray & I never reached for it ever. I didn’t wear a mask & gave my full name to people who were very angry w/me

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I don’t really feel like we are making progress but I do appreciate that we were able to maintain a respectful conversation. But a public conversation is what I’m saying isn’t safe. Not because of you but because it’s on X.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I sincerely appreciate that.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi And, calling me misguided is your arrogance btw. And your misogyny. I try to get outside my bubble & talk to people & I wonder if you can say the same? Your beliefs are fixed & you are not willing to investigate to see if maybe you could be wrong??

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi And I’m going to have to delete this conversation because it’s just no longer safe to give public details or to show any vulnerability. Already blocked a few trolls. I tried to have a good faith discussion with you.

[UAreTheEyesOfTheWorld @GenWashington64]

@ArthurIzzi I do not claim to know more than my experience. I was the clinical supervisor for a drug treatment center in SF for people on parole & doing county time. I LOVE black culture who were OVERREPRESENTED in the prison industrial complex. I spent yrs of my career advocating for them.
