in retrospect, it was amazing how much power people like Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell had at their fingertips in the pre-social media era. They could write an airport book claiming potato chips killed more people than all historical wars combined and it would become universal received wisdom

The Civil Right Division has become an absolute joke. The only people whose rights are protected are ICE agents. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.
Did I get that right?

ICE doesn't have jurisdiction over US citizens. This woman is right in everything she says and does here.
You don't have to show them shit.

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

ICE is also majorly targeting Black people. Doesn't matter if you "were born here." They are harassing people left, right and center.

This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention.
Keep calling them out, America!

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

Exactly.
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I’m writing about this right now and should be doing that instead of this. However this poem tracks with what I’m processing. I don’t really understand all the performative closure stuff we do culturally. It seems enough for me to know I’m done.

my silence
for forgiveness.

Something a lot of people refuse to internalize in this country is that cops (at all levels) are almost always rightwing in ideology.

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

A reminder that ICE was founded in 2003. This nation did just fine without the organization for over 200 years. Just about everyone on Bluesky is older than ICE.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
