im so sick of being lectured about what "sane people" and "adults" think i should do. i was an insane teenager and i still had more moral clarity than anyone in fucking congress
"We" are the sane, thoughtful, logical people who know what will happen if we react like teenagers to the provocations.

Not only okay, but necessary because it demonstrates an extension of a logic of violence that SOME citizens have always been subject to.

Being a citizen has never been a guarantor of protection from state violence. They're just making this more and more obvious.
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

god i think what's triggering these thoughts is the idea of my mom treating my nephew the way she treated me and not knowing how i'd react if something were to happen but knowing damn sure that if i did step in, no matter how i did it that'd i'd be the psycho one in that situation

BIPOC folks, and *especially* Black Women absolutely did tell everyone!!!

That's why those of us who saw & heard them tried amplifying their message.

But even when it came from us repeating it? Most folks STILL refused to believe, until today.

They've BEEN saying this'd happen for *years* y'all.
We told you all this would happen. If youre shocked by, voted for any of it, or surmise any excuse to handwave any of it then you are, simply put, never to be trusted b/c you never cared to begin with.

And I dont hope that sits on your soul. No…

I hope it weighs you into hell with an iron anchor.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Cops lie, and even if the truth is revealed that they lied, they will always get away with it because cops are a protected class. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

like you read those FBI documents and you're like "wow okay so J. Edgar Hoover really put out a hit on like a college student to protect the business interests of Chicago landlords and then framed him for his own murder" and immediately wonder how many other times something like that has happened

I honestly don’t think there’s a single figure in American history who has fundamentally shifted the way I understand the world I live in more radically than Fred Hampton. once you know the story you can’t un-know it and you see it repeated everywhere
The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed.

Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened.

I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.
If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

I stumbled upon a thread on the FFXIV subreddit that I encourage everyone who is frustrated with the DDoS’ to read, as it goes over why this is a complicated issue with no real easy solution

I’m of the firm belief that police and militia members have been quietly running right wing death squads in the US for years. The fate of the most notable Ferguson protestors is the most blatant example of it. ICE in 2025-26 is simply the same people operating in public.

ICE needs to be abolished.
Hope this helps.

And we should be tired of having this same conversation/argument about defunding these violent institutions over and over again because too many people in this country can't imagine a world without policing.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
