70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The history of this country cannot be erased.
It's in our cells. We can pretend otherwise but it will come get us. That's how karma works. It's biological. Because our bodies have interacted with the sickness that is patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism since the beginning of this country.

Here's the issue with so-called progressives. You still support capitalism. If you don't understand that capitalism is white supremacy is fascism you're still part of the problem. Break down the economics, living in exchange and gift economies is the only way forward. I challenge you to the future.

Weird for the whole world to understand how violent Border & immigration police are when I’ve been terrified my whole life.
Listen: when I was 11-14 years old I lived in a safe house for undocumented workers, mostly hosted teenagers
At 12 I saw for the first, and not the last time, a 16 year old farm worker who had been beaten to a horrific pulp by US Border Patrol- under the Carter Adm.
I see the enemy and it is us

Collective willful ignorance is not just an absence of knowledge; it is an active betrayal of collective responsibility. This stark reality challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truth that our comfort often comes at the expense of justice and integrity for others.

The body does not attack itself. This way of explaining autoimmune disease is a blasphomy against nature.
We, however, attack our bodies. Capitalism, the patriarchy and white supremacy has divided us from our bodies. Cooperation with the body, and thus healing will take the rest of our lives.

You can be mad or sad or scared about that.
If you are a care provider you may feel you are “supposed” to be managing better or more impeccably.
Nope.
We are all just human and the notion that a whole helping class exists to clean up the mess so others don’t have to is another cultural myth.

everyone in the US is a narcissist. this accounts for the obsession with narcissism. Everything about our toxic individualism and capitalism demands narcissism to be "successful". At this point that includes surviving at all. (1 of 2)

It's disturbing to see how many otherwise radical people think that the DSM and psych diagnosis including autism are anything but labels for the patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism to take advantage of. Decolonize medicine decolonize psychology decolonize psychiatry.
