Taking the kids to an sf/f convention for the first time today. Hopefully they get a kick out of it, or we’re in for a long day.

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.

According to most of mainstream media, people helping others are daring ICE fuckers to murder them.
The @wsj.com in an editorial wrote today: "...Pretti attempted, foolishly, to assist a woman who had been pepper-sprayed by agents"
According to the WSJ, it's "foolish" for a nurse to assist a person in medical distress. Incredible

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

ICE is a paramilitary force deployed in a campaign of state domestic terrorism.
If the primary focus were immigration enforcement, they’d be raiding agricultural and hospitality industry settings.
Instead, they’re going into residential neighborhoods, schools, and courthouses.
Terror is the goal.

Idk if abolishing ICE is ever going to happen, but if we do ever get the country back, suing it into non-existence for 4th amendment violations can work.

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

She wasn't murdered because she was an amazing mother, poet, and kind and gracious human.
She was murdered because these fucking Gestapo on our streets believe they can do so.
