FRIDAY, March 20 at 7:30 pm, come on out to a FREE evening of music and poetry in the Takoma Park Community Center celebrating the theme of “SANCTUARY.” (Takoma Park is a proud Sanctuary City). Lisa Moscatiello and [Jennifer Cutting] will sing a beloved Spanish-language folksong ([their] debut singing in Spanish!) with a brand new verse in English on the evening’s theme. There’ll be a dozen other musicians and poets contributing fabulously creative performances. Any donations collected will support We Are Casa, which advocates for local immigrant communities and families. Easy walk from Takoma Park Metro; free parking in back; doors open at 7 pm… Hoping to see you there!! [Please help [them] spread the word by sharing this post]

On March 11, 2026, 7:34 PM, ACLU of Maryland posted:

Tonight, a federal judge in Maryland ordered ICE to temporarily halt work on its plan to convert a warehouse into a large immigrant detention facility, finding the agency likely violated federal environmental law in its rush to expand detention in the state.

ICE had planned for the Maryland site to be one of the first new detention facilities to open nationwide. This ruling stops that effort in its tracks and forces the government to answer for its lack of transparency.

Join us in celebrating this significant win and in thanking the communities in Western Maryland who have spent months organizing to stop this detention center from moving forward.

A friend and musician stumbled across and shared with me:

"The ICE Brigade", sung to the tune of "The Green Berets"

You can even follow the proverbial bouncing ball:

It makes me want to laugh, cry and scream with rage simultaneously ...and share it with folks who might want to start singing it at protests.
