“There is something particularly menacing about being attacked by faceless people. The mask not only terrorizes the victim of the attack, but it also uniquely empowers the perpetrator. We see this in many of the videos as those who claim to be federal officers, speak crudely and cruelly, and behave with unspeakable brutality against unarmed laborers and their families. The mask prevents their victims from identifying the “officers.” But perhaps the anonymity offered by the mask also encourages these agents to obscure their own humanity from each other and from themselves.
This country has a unique history with the particular terror of masked attackers. The Ku Klux Klan, the violent white supremacist organization terrorized Black people in the American South in the first years after the end of the Civil War and through much of the 20th century. So rampant was Klan violence in the years immediately after the Civil War, that it threatened to derail the promise of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 and was designed to ensure that Black people would equal citizens in post-Civil War America.
In the first decade after the end of the Civil War, the violence of the Klan grew to such an alarming level that President Grant encouraged Congress to address the growing problem by passing a statute that would give federal authorities the ability to prosecute those interfering with the constitutional rights of Black people.[iii]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf26plxwia7dxpm6plry3sj2/bafkreig6365tkmyikwxe7t7sswqtcnah7gsgtowrgpdqyq56qvqhvgfhku@jpeg)

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.
Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid.
Neither are we.

Trump’s move is a sign of weakness and I wish our governor was prepared to meet it with greater strength.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

This is a nightmare but IMO there is a way out of this if Dems chose to fight the righteous fight around.
They just want to disappear the innocent father of a 5 year old to a gulag in another country. This is a fight if Dems go all in on - they can win. But, it needs to start now. Today.

We tried and tried and tried to tell Dems to run against this. Data, ad tests, everything. For years. Their choices were based on a misread of public opinion, were catastrophically ineffective, and EVERYONE COULD SEE WHERE IT WAS GOING. And now we are there. An avoidable nightmare.
This needs to be a 10 alarm fire for every single Democratic electeds in Congress and all across America. This is so beyond dark. They simply can't look other way any more and pretend to focus on kitchen table issues while this is happening right infront of us.

Extracting Police - Stephanie Guirand & Spencer Piston - Inquest
Violent policing is not a bug of capitalist societies but a feature. To end our dependence on it, we must first understand its connection to exploitation.
