In a new video game, players can join a heist crew — consisting of hackers, acrobats, a museum insider, and even a grandma — to infiltrate museums and take back looted African artifacts.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

They aren’t talking to think. They are talking to narrative control. They want to disquiet and discredit the protests and not enough Black, Native and Latino people are outside to do so , and Minneapolis white people are jumping in front of them.
I urge conservatives to practice a thing called "thinking about something for one second." If ICE has a military-size budget, and if there are paid crowds larger than ICE, then whoever is paying the crowds has resources on the scale of a government. Which means it's not Soros. It's no one.
They assume we must all be getting paid to rise up cos:
A) they can't imagine a scenario where they would stand up for a stranger without financial incentive
B) they received financial incentives or free passes to cause trouble
C) there is insane funding behind them, and they draw small crowds

Feeling helpless?
You can raise funds! Get your friends and neighbors to donate.
Families are too afraid to leave their homes. Teachers and social workers know which families have the most need.
Fundraise so we can focus on being in the streets.

the horrors persist, and so do we
One thing we're NOT going to do is wallow in doom and hopelessness right when countless people are joining the fight against our enemies.
The situation is awful. That's why so many people are angry, and why they're mobilizing.
You can let the horrors overwhelm you, or you can let them fuel you.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

RIP Sean Bell and Amadu Diallo.
State sanctioned violence has been our entire lives. I remember Rodney King from when I was just a little boy.

Black Millennials really be outside for the last 2 decades raising hell. From Jena 6 to Trayvon to Mike Brown, to Tamir Rice Breonna Taylor to George Floyd. AND EVERYBODY treated us like whining brats, that were too dumb, too poor, and too violent to materialize the American Dream. Now Look.

ICE is a conspiracy to commit mass murder. Every single member is some combination of murderer, accomplice to murder, accessory to murder, or conspirator to murder. Every single one of them must be arrested and prosecuted.
The fact they're not illustrates exactly why the police must be defunded.

I can't overstate that this spate of articles is likely due to one wealthy, awful person and terrible parent commissioning a press release.
Kids going no contact may or may not be on the rise, but someone funded this media blast as part of a personal vendetta-- I can guarantee it.
