Thinking about this quote from @alexvitale.bsky.social (again) as Dems have begun to walk back the simplest demands to rein in ICE. As I noted in July, the anti-mask accountability bills proposed didn't have any teeth. After live-streamed extrajudicial killings, we're functionally in the same place.

There’s a temptation to settle for less than abolishing ICE. The establishment certainly wants to stop at far less than abolishing ICE. But our future depends on its abolition. In Congress and in the streets we need to push harder than ever, not accept appeasement.

Reject appeasement. Reject counter-insurgency.
We can stop at nothing less that the total dissolution of ICE

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history.
Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller.
ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

Americans will follow laws to protect inanimate objects without beating hearts, feelings or families,
while federal agents execute them for existing in a public space with impunity.

Just saw footage of federal agents, either ICE or border patrol, shooting someone point blank in Minneapolis. Again. Seven of them had the man pinned down, they were beating him, then one murders him. They’re giving us no choice but to fight back like our lives depend on it.

"By disguising U.S. warplanes as civilian ones, the Pentagon makes it more likely that civilians will be harmed in the future. ... [M]aking a disguised plane visible to the targets can lull them into a false sense of security that would prevent them from taking evasive action or surrendering."
The Pentagon reportedly used a military aircraft disguised as a civilian plane to carry out a lethal boat strike, a tactic known as perfidy that can constitute a war crime when it endangers protected civilian status and violates the laws of armed conflict.
