Get angry because someone like you was murdered by the state.
Stay angry because the state murders people who aren't like you every day.

International airports count as borders.
Yes, that means most of the populated country comes under the 100-mile “border”.

Last week I wrote “The border crossed us. We’re gonna abolish it,” and this is exactly what I meant: most Americans are accustomed to ignoring the deep violence of the agencies that maintain US national borders. Border Patrol are trained to be murderous. They are teaching ICE to be likewise.
I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).
Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Seeing the NYT switch to active voice feels like watching a seal holding back the apocalypse crack
years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

It didn’t get enough attention, but the largest nurses union, NNU, had already called for the abolishment of ICE before this latest murder.

ABOLISH ICE! Remember, they tegulated and reformed the Middle Passage as well.
We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.
The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

I just did the math. That won’t work. He only has a 28 billion dollar net worth. I can get 2 sticks of deodorant with 28 dollars.
Give me a dollar for every billion Peter Tiel makes and Wake Productions can put this story out in the world. A zine. A comic. A movie.
