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

It’s happening here, just not on a dramatic scale. With 750 OK Highway Patrol now holding ICE authority, stops are ramping up. Watonga’s new detention center is already holding immigrants even though it isn’t fully staffed. It’s going to get uglier fast.

Apparently Border Patrol agents have intentionally and unnecessarily stepped in front of moving cars to justify using deadly force against vehicle occupants since 2014 and before. So ICE is following a well practiced procedure 😡

Removing Renee's wife is a further act of violence. Straight partners don't get deliberately erased the same way queer ones do.
This child is not motherless. Stop repeating that.
One of his mothers was killed. The other is very much alive and putting her whole soul into caring for him.
It matters. Her wife’s relation to the boy matters. When you remove her from the narrative, it’s wrong. No matter how poetic.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
