I saw a statistic somewhere that I wish I could find now, but its (minimally) several hundred.
A ton of organizers who are busy exposing ICE agents have shown time and again how J6-to-ICE is basically a circle.

Its incredibly important to note in this story that many of these people screaming are CHILDREN.

As many as 1500 detainees at the Dilley ICE camp have erupted in protest.
Lawyers were kicked out amid chants of: "Let us out! libertad!!"
Detainees say ~80% are rebelling, motivated by the news from Minneapolis, the general strike, and the imprisonment of little Liam.

there are people, I am increasingly of the mind, that need people to say "hey, stop and think about the consequences of your actions for a minuite" and i dunno at this point I feel like the United States' collective denial of that responsibility is Why We Are Here.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.

And also, THE GUARDIAN, even if he fucking had a gun, in public, THAT IS LEGAL.
Even if he had a gun in public, that does not mean the state has the right to murder you in cold blood.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

Data suggests separations are now happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.
