The people make the social media platforms are not the people who use them and so they don't understand them
They understand them fine.
Their goals just aren't coincident with their users' goals.
User: I want to catch up with my friends.
Them: Cool. Who are your friends? What are their ages? Where do they live? What are they into? WHAT CAN WE SELL THEM? WHAT CAN WE SELL YOU?!!

Bc a lot of those (mainly white) folks don't hate the machine. They hate it being pointed at them. They want the police. They want ICE. But not this version of it. It's not abolish they fear. It's the idea behind it. Losing their way to control and punish the "others".
Question for the crowd:
Why do you think moderates, liberals, and other folks are scared or have an aversion to the word “abolish”?

Man…I’m just really freakin happy for Sam Darnold. We were in Arizona for his loss to the Rams last year—to go from that to this, and from castoff to the Super Bowl.
What an incredible journey. What a game. What a moment for him.

Because worrywarts refuse to let them grow accustomed to hearing, seeing, and using it. We should use it MORE, not less.
You do not move the Overton window leftward by accommodating moderates. It has moved steadily rightward for at least the last 40 damned years. The "center" is now far right.

i think a lot of well meaning people underestimate how many people actually like, trust, and want to keep funding a militarized police force. the "aversion" to the word "abolish" is that people want to keep cops around.

This is also connected to that whole thing where all their fantasies of protecting their own *family* centers on enacting violence and not, like, vaccinating their kids and making sure they're prepared for a power outage etc.
Even people they know, they only think of in terms of violence.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Seriously, folks, people did NOT vote for murder on the streets. A majority of those who voted went for Trump, and to win power, those against Trump will have to win many of them over, not reject them all as people who want fascism.

Americans must be eyes wide open that blocking the DHS funding bill will not shut down ICE.
ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap, whether or not we pass a funding bill.

The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.
I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

The admin gains nothing but public criticism by admitting they just recycled these guys back into the system like a bunch of catholic priests. The only logic to making this known is to signal other officers that they won’t be turned over to legitimate authorities for gunning down Americans.

This is my friend. Solid dude who was arrested for defending a woman the cops were assaulting. Not only did they disappear him, but even after he was finally released, they harassed him for years after. A straight line from there to Alex Pretti.

Jeremey “Mohawk” Johnson participated in the “Defund CPD & Abolish ICE” protest. That evening, he disappeared, last seen being taken by police.
