That's why the incremental shit is so insane. We have the ability to make these sweeping changes and take swings to make life better but instead we play footsie with the opposition and let them set the terms and beg for scraps
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Sci-fi that deals with questions of artificial consciousness is interesting because it's pushing us to think about what it means to be human. It functions as a metaphorical mirror.
Being shocked by a computer programmed to play pretend reflects on us too, but not in a particularly flattering way

There’s not a way to negotiate with ICE without selling out some of the very neighbors we’re risking our lives to protect. This is a moral issue. Your willingness to negotiate shows you don’t understand the problem at all or our sacrifice, not that you’re somehow smarter or more rational than us.
