the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

It is starting to piss me off when folks say “I’m just not into politics” or “I’m just not political”. Well, you better start feeling some kind of way about politics because you may be adversely affected because of politics. People forgot about voting rights….

• Jewish suspect commits a crime:
They use it to stoke conspiracies about “elite globalists.”
• But when a white American shoots up a whole ass school:
It’s the video games.
It’s the music.
It’s mental health.
It’s anything except whiteness.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:
• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I’m never going to forget when “Watchmen” had that scene depicting the Tulsa Race Massacre and so many Black people online lamented that they were never taught that history.
It was by design. Oklahoma didn’t make it a part of school curriculum till 2020.
Whew that was heavy.

It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
