One of the greatest assaults on Black history that this country has done is reducing Black radical figures to cultural objects. Like Langston Hughes was a poet & a communist & a radical. He was called unAmerican for asking why atomic bombs weren't dropped on Italy & Germany. Let's teach that.

The same people who spent decades saying it was unrealistic to demand that the US didn’t do violence, as recently as defending Kamala saying that she wanted to create the “deadliest” military in the world, are shocked the US is so violent.

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color.

The thing about that child is there isn’t a single child in the world I’d be okay with this happening to. Not even their kids. The children are all ours, and to miss that is to dehumanize completely.

“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

ICE is not Gestapo, but slave patrols.
It's not foreign, but deeply American, categorical brutalization of non-white people (& now those who stand up for them).
They do not need to have warrants, and people facing deportation are not entitled to lawyers, or what we imagine as due process.

actual self-accountability demands more than acknowledgement of bad judgement or ideas. you have to also take affirmative action to address the terrible things you said and did. you have to do that with no expectations that people you harmed will ever accept or certainly forgive you.

If you’re in Black women’s mentions arguing that “say her name” isn’t a slogan that belongs to the movement for Black women then you’re an operative for white supremacy and you should leave Renee Nicole Good, who died while defending Black immigrants, out of your bullshit

The belligerent violation of the lives of human beings, the imagery of fire and flames over there, the screams muted under the overdub of commentators— fuels the tech, the violence, the l racism and hate, that legitimates kidnappings here.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about.

Another thing about Maduro capture — this isn’t the work of fools, which means serious military people, and not just trumps dumb and dumber collection of idiots — went along with this. I’m so tired of seeing media frame this as just a Trump thing - this is maybe the most American thing he’s done.

Friends please stop saying immigrants are treated poorly because they are “seen as criminals” as tho if they were “criminals” it would justify torture or no medical care or food. The violence we acquiesced to is what got us here. High time we recognize NO human deserves to be treated this way.
