the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

The reason I now believe ICE should be abolished is not that I don't think we need some kind of agency to deal with immigration and customs, but rather that this particular agency has so soiled its reputation and is operating so far out of bounds in a democracy that the only solution is to end it.

Utah is a permitless carry state. SLC has an open carry ordinance, and protests frequently see AR-15s being carried openly.

This environment makes threat assessment more challenging, which is why having armed "security" volunteers who lack extensive training is an incredibly reckless idea.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:

A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.

A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

About "nonviolence"—

The definition of "violence" is not neutral.

What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence."

Friendly reminder:

The first pride was an anti-police riot where queers de-arrested each other, threw bricks at cops, and fought as a group for the simple right to exist. Stay dangerous, protect each other, and keep the fight going. THAT is the best way to honor and celebrate pride.

Storme DeLarvie was a drag performer and lesbian. She was in violation of homophobic NY laws and was being arrested during a raid when she punched a cop in the face and asked the patrons of the bar being raided "Aren't you going to do anything?"

And with that Stonewall raids became Stonewall riots.

Storme DeLarvie, looking ridiculously sharp in a suit.

This is true of most fash over here too. Just a bunch of fucking broken pub barstool heaters with nothing left except harassing folks when they think they have an overwhelming advantage.

People seem to think the Proud Boys are some elite fighting force. Generally speaking they're a bunch of drunk, out of shape 40 year old divorcees.

They are not a fighting force. Proud Boys are best known for singling out femmes walking alone, skater kids, etc. So that's the danger.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
