Saw a post out in the wild that called ICE a "para military" group.
Nope.
ICE is a military group. It IS one of the federal government's military groups and they have taken positions in every EVERY state and mid-sized to large city.
Not at all 'para', nope.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Listen to them. They never use a humanizing word for the dead; not mother, father, or child; not nurse, teacher, or parent.
We are not human if they call us terrorists, rioters, insurrectionists.
It's important that they don't call us "citizens or people."
It's easier to murder a non-human foe.

I woke up this morning with this memory. I was 10 years old and the TV showed police attacking people. Cops set huge German Shepherds on men, women, & children. As dogs took them down, the cops beat people with clubs. Later, America was told that Negros were rioting. Never humans or citizens.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Anything with Wallace is worth paying attention to. Read the book and do the workshop, but at the least check out the book. We could all use this.
You can access "Radical Unlearning" by @lewispants.bsky.social as an audiobook, ebook, or hardcover anywhere you get your books, and/or request your local library carry a copy!

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
