If a government isn't protecting the powerless from the powerful, then what's the point of a government?

The current state of the Democratic Party is failing miserably at the former, and our legal system has shown itself to lack the rigor, capacity, and integrity to ensure the latter.

The only coherent positions are (1) to reduce the size and power of these institutions--used by ruling class elites across the world to protect inequalities of many kinds--and (2) to enforce robust mechanisms for accountable vindication of basic human rights.

THREAD. ICE is in the news, and rightly so, but a lot of the commentary fails to see how the underlying surveillance tech, militarization, infrastructure, policies/practices/training, and corporate profiteers are shared by other domestic agencies and repressive bureaucracies in other countries.

This is where your money for "more training" will go.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

This is the bullshit we talking about.
When people say they don't trust Dems, this is what we mean.
Giving them more is a trick to get you to stop paying attention. A trick to get you to think they're the good guys, while nothing changes and the violence budgets increase. Again.

When we said that Biden started this when he told everybody to STFU about “DefundThePolice” and gave $400M of COVID public health funds to the cops after riding the largest anti-police protest in HISTORY straight to the Oval, you fucking SHOESHINERS said we were helping Trump
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

It's quite similar to the Democratic party and liberal punditry's approach to body cameras, which I wrote about at length last year: campuspress.yale.edu/yjll/volume-.... "Training" rhetoric is an even more stark example of effective counterinsurgency propaganda.
