This morning, I remembered this inspiring video of Glaswegians stopping an immigration raid #ICE #deportations Help each other. Stand up for each other. Be kind.

@wadechicago @TODUrbanWORKS @BrentToderian Once sprinted up Holborn's multiple escalators plus steps with a kid that had to go. The London Underground staff told me to take him to the nearest McDonalds. Holborn station's deepest platform is 40m below street level (-135ft).
