Baby I was you. I was full of self-righteousness and desperate to be good enough. Let it go. Let ppl be who they really are. Throw open your arms wide and actually love people. Really truly love your community. All of it.

It’s on tape, clear af, that Gavin agrees with Shapiro about it not being a genocide.

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
The Trump administration is seeking to deport two men who provided accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp that differed from the Department of Homeland Security’s description of the incident.

A big part of the "ICE and Border Patrol guys could never make it in the military or a real police force" rhetoric is just cope that allows folks to keep pretending that cops and military don't have large numbers of violent, sociopathic toolbags themselves. They do.

I’m sorry but what we’re not gonna do is sanitize traditional conservatism which, in practice in the US, believes women should be forced to give birth to their rapist’s child, that gay people are a scourge who deserve to die of AIDS, and that corporations should exist without any regulation.

“Yes I threw my Leica” what a line for a brave photo journalist
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

They are kidnapping non-white people, regardless of status only to sort them out later, often not even taking them to the federal building but abandoning them beaten miles from where they were. And they are brutalizing witnesses, most of whom are white citizens who only have whistles and phones.

Just your periodic reminder that “trauma bond“ refers to the bond between an abuser and those they abuse. It does not refer to the affinity between people who have experienced the same trauma together; that is called “shared trauma”.
