This is tough competition with scolding people for saying rest in power after the state execution of Renee Good for terminal cointelpro mindset disease olympics
incredibly infantilizing behavior. How do you write this and not see how offensive it is

The anti-DEI bullshit has always been simple racism barely even repackaged. Erasing Dr. Kings legacy was always one of the goals.
We pretend that the segregationists lost. But any defeat was temporary and they currently control all three branches of government.

imo it's pollyanna-ish to believe that the general political situation--the trump regime writ large--unwinds peacefully. the big political project of opposition should be building the infrastructure and installing leaders who could actually win the inevitable standoff we're careening towards

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO
I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles
why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

The government's official position is that the execution of American citizens is the expected and desired result of ICE training and is exemplary procedure, in case you think calls to abolish ICE and DHS are too extreme.

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."
“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Everyone is focusing on the negatives as usual, but instead I encourage you to focus on a positive mindset: think of all the terrible country songs we're going to get out of this that we will get to sing ironically in twenty years. Don't you feel better now?
