One of Trump's strident campaign promises was to reverse DACA his very first day in office. Sessions reiterated Trump's desire to do so.

This means that close to one million young people, some of them my family members and friends, may be on deportation list on Monday.
-
When our family members and friends applied for DACA, they handed over their information: fingerprints, home address, work address, etc.
-
I told my own blood that applying for DACA would never mean it could turn into a deportation list. I was wrong. And I can't forgive myself.
-
Will this definitely happen? I don't know. Nobody knows. That's part of the problem. That, in and of itself, is fucking terrifying.

Unless you're in a mixed status family/community, it's difficult to understand how stressful this is rn. So much guilt, anxiety, fear.
-
Might your sister get thrown into detention because you told her it was safe to apply for DACA? Who knows? Absolutely nobody. Tuh.
-
Does the United States have a long and sordid history of unjustifiably detaining and deporting people? Ah hello yes of course.
-
Is it a stretch to suggest that Donald Trump is going to do exactly what he said he promised he would do on Day One? Umm.
-
Are we talking about the same Donald Trump that so many people thought would never get elected? You feel me?
-
People are in their feelings about the inauguration because Trump's presidency is about who gets to live and who gets to die. Remember that.

@chrislhayes I'm so sorry. I wish I knew how to make this less scary. This was never supposed to happen here. :( -
Resist! Call your Congressmen & women. Protest outside of offices. Write letters & faxes. We have to fight like we did w/health care.
