I used to work in home healthcare and at a veterans home, and the thing that always struck me was how invisible caregivers could be. People rely on you because their life depends on it, and yet the system treats you like you’re disposable the second you’re inconvenient.

So reading this, it doesn’t surprise me, that the very people holding families together are being targeted, detained, or used as bargaining chips.

Thanks for laying this out with clarity. There’s a whole category of people we say we value and then punish for doing the work.
