Therese Patricia Okoumou. Patriot.

[the-penandpaper]

UPDATE December 6,2018 @odinsblog

[odinsblog]

It is a very rare thing for me to disagree so hard with a progressive Black woman, but Therese Patricia Okoumou IS a hero. And she certainly did not let anyone down. Fighting for young children who were being caged and separated from their parents is never ever the wrong thing to do. What she did—resisting Trump and publicly speaking truth to power—required great courage. Okoumou is a hero and an activist. A social justice warrior in the truest sense of the word.

After repeatedly reaching out to the mainstream media and asking them to continue covering her story, she is being ignored by them now. But remember: they were happy to use her when she was the hot story and good for ratings. Now they apparently cannot be bothered to interview her, or call out the injustice of her impending imprisonment. (#WhiteFeminism)

If anyone knows of any lawyer or anyone who might be able to help Therese Patricia Okoumou with her appeals process, please reach out to her on her Twitter account.

when racists think of people “illegally” entering the country, they picture a hundred sweaty brown people packed into the back of a box truck, or wading across the Rio Grande with their possessions above their heads, or washing up on the beach by the dozens scurrying into the nearest neighborhood of Spanish speakers. they imagine small engine planes coasting over the border at low altitude dropping people into the swamp, or a shipping container full of Asian women and children, or a group of people popping up from a sewer grate after crawling miles through underground tunnels.

they never think of human beings who met all the necessary requirements for citizenship and were turned away at customs and denied the opportunity to contact someone who could vouch for them to travel from the airport to the immigration office. or that they made it all the way here to go to school or work only to have no money to return home after their visas expired. or that they came as refugees seeking asylum and were left on the street.

white European and Canadian immigrants can fly or drive into our country, tell the customs agent they are here for vacation and then just… not… leave…. and nobody bats an eye.

there will be a moment when you realize you are more grown up than your parents are. this is the loss of childhood, my love. it is when you’re standing in the kitchen and one of your parents is screaming about something and you recognize: you will let them win the fight not because you are wrong, but simply because you know that they will keep shouting unless you drop the subject. you expect them to have childish understandings of things. they will hold onto their concept of the world as if it was not a changing thing. they must be right, and they must be somehow more right than you, always, in everything. their idea of control is so necessary to who they are that you just let it go.

this is the moment. you are 11 or 17 or 21. and you realize that you’re more mature than they ever were. 

and in some odd, sad way, this frees you. where they have stagnated, you continue.

Hot take this, cold take that, how about some proper room temperature takes.

The CIA works hand in hand with far right movements to perform extrajudicial killings and regime changes in ‘third world’ nations in order to maintain American hegemony over local natural resources in the name of corporate profit.

Boost this. Malicious fucking compliance y'all. Tie up their legal system with tens of thousands of cases. Burn their state government’s cash on this issue. Force them to play by the Nth degree of this idiotic rule.
