#GEO7 lays out a simple choice for humanity.
Continue down the road to a future devastated by climate change, dwindling nature and polluted air, or change direction to secure a healthy planet, people and economies.
This is no choice at all.

21st century nazis have made the 'are we baddies' sketch obsolete. It is very clear they know they're the baddies, and they love it. They think it's awesome. They worship evil, and are euphoric in disbelief that they're allowed to get away with it.
Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests.

What Jamelle misses is that the "training" counterinsurgency technique was developed by the punishment bureaucracy propagandists precisely because it sounds nice while being profitable, distracts from structural issues, and de-radicalizes the demands of well-meaning liberals.

maybe an unpopular position on this website but i think the moderate dem focus on ICE training can be, with political pressure, the pathway to more fundamental reforms. rhetorically it is not too hard to move from “more training” to “turns out they’re untrainable and we have to start all over.”
