I rarely have the fortitude to get into it online, but I do wish more people would distinguish between masks and face coverings when talking about ICE/&c. They’re covering their faces, not wearing masks. And if we get too broad about banning masks it’s going to hurt disabled people instead.

FYI @matthewcort.land is a great resource. When they put out a call to action I know there is reasoning behind why this specific action is worth the effort, and that they’ll walk me through how to be most effective.

It is absolutely by design. Theyr’e tired of white people sympathizing with Black and brown folks. That’s why they’re so mad and confused in Minnesota.
All the nice white people yelling at them to get fucked. It’s like their dads are yelling at them in a bathrobe. They can’t cope.

people really like to ignore the "on purpose" part. So easy to talk about how dumb the kids are while ignoring it's by design

I'm so glad there's more attention on the violence, trauma and lives lost due to this federal occupation.
AND we also need more attention on the less visible but INTENSE impact on our neighbors who haven't been able to leave home for weeks, are hungry, scared & at risk of eviction.
