Hi Bluesky. I’m here because I can’t be on X but I miss Twitter. Despite all the shitty problems, without it, my decolonizing journey simply wouldn’t have been.
Mostly here to learn to fight the empire, get recommendations & talk about dogs, media, music, food, and perimenopause. Yep that’s it!

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.
This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.
It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

I’m going to say this, not to be an asshole, but just so folks can get a clearer understanding, especially white folks.
In many cities, in communities that are majority POC, “jump outs” have been part of policing for DECADES. They often are very much like this. It is new for a PhD student.

Similar energy: don’t just look to me (Asian woman immigrant) for corporate-based stories of how I can support other POCs and “minorities” - ask THEM non POC non minorities how they need to do the same or ask them why they not doing it.
“I find it frustrating and lazy that men don’t get involved,” Ryan Hamilton said. “Why are you not out here going, ‘How dare you?’ … You’re happy to let your wife or daughter go out and tell their nightmare story over and over again while you sit your lazy ass at home?”
It’s been almost a year since Ryan Hamilton went viral with his story about carrying his pregnant wife from a puddle of blood on their bathroom floor into his truck to drive to a Texas hospital for the fourth time seeking care.
