“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

Surviving Trump is practically as traumatic an experience as serving in the military, which rewards you with citizenship. It should too.
I argued that communities targeted by ICE should be granted citizenship immediately. This is both a matter of justice and an imperative if we're going to crush fascism.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person to be murdered by ICE under Trump.

Keith Porter was a Black man killed by ICE on New Years Eve.

Silverio Gonzalez was an undocumented immigrant killed in Franklin Park.

Marimar Martinez was shot 5 times in Chicago & survived.

No one is safe.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens.

The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens.

There are more of us.

before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told

It’s meant to justify the murder

nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life

killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Hide their replies and block them. I’ve had it with everlasting doomers.
Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

I knew Tory ministers could be cruel, unfeeling bastards. But the insouciance, even mockery, by Labour ministers towards people convicted of no crime, who are at imminent risk of death as a result of an unconscionable period on remand is on another level altogether. They are revelling in it.
