It is becoming more and more apparent with the photo documentation of ICE raids that most people are getting their idea of what a cop, federal law enforcement officer (a type of cop), SWAT team, etc is "supposed to" look like from TV and movies.
This will become a thread about why this is wrong.

people are extremely ready to put everyone but the sex offenders on the sex offender registry. we know who the predators are and some people will, consciously or unconsciously, project that onto anyone else instead, to create an external villain rather than one granted power in their communities.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Insufficient is the gentlest way to state it. They should be trying to destroy that shit instead of making it more palatable, more normalized. We shouldn’t be experiencing this shit at all; making them seem like regular cops is NOT gonna fix shit.

I'm pretty sure there is not actually enough overhead bin space on a plane for even like 75% of passengers on a full flight to bring a carry-on.
Hot take: people futzing with carry-onbags delays boarding and de-boarding. Carry-ons should incur a fee and I should get a prize for not bringing one.

If they faced the fact that their disgusting fetish was not universal, they’d have to take responsibility for it.
