Historically speaking settler colonies often went out of there way to *not* claim native culture and customer for their own, at least in anglophone world.

The style of food or hat legitimizes the dispossession of the colonized. Putting their cultural patrimony to a "higher and better use" than they could, similar to the justification for land theft. Abstract stuff that doesn't respond well to demands for policy change, but a real thing nonetheless.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

And we *know* these dumb fucks get their ideas for how authoritarianism works from movies and TV.

They see a fictional despotic regime do something on the big screen and they instantly think this is how they can build their very own Thousand Year Reich.

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

According the article, the Everett Police still have not told the parents why they arrested their 13-year-old child, nor why they handed him over to ICE while his parents waited in the station to pick him up.

The sort of ppl ICE is being filled up with are exactly the kind of depraved morons who'd try to be clever by giving some extremely stupid and depraved tankies guns and explosives in the hopes they go do a Reichstag Fire.

Anyone with that kind of attitude is a huge danger to everyone around them.

"we should just get rid of planes instead of following laws" this site is for serious adults

Bluesky screenshot: this is true and it's good that it's true because an airplane is a carefully
controlled bomb whose entire control feedback path flows through the
pilots eyes

if you damage or destroy those, well. now it's not a carefully controlled
bomb anymore

shining lasers at aircraft is extremely dangerous and illegal. it should
only be done if people believe that the reason they have for doing
that rises to the bar of "doing extremely dangerous and illegal things
towards this specific aircraft"

generally that reason does not

Why are they flying bombs over my city? Maybe they shouldn't do that.
