No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

This is what criminalization does - the scope has simply expanded - and why we all need to be putting refusal and resistance to criminalization at the center of our anti authoritarian/antifascist struggles.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

What we are witnessing in real time is eugenics. Eugenics is not a historical term or practice. From the sacrificing of high risk people during the on-going COVID pandemic to the attacks on trans people and their right to exist to ethnic cleansing via mass deportations.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

2. anyone can get long covid, so even if you don’t care about others, you can protect yourself

I have a beloved who caught a cold last week & immediately began testing. 1st, 2nd, 3rd days' tests: negative. Then, Day 5: BOOM. Covid all along.
And it would have been really easy to just assume, after 3 negatives, that is was in fact a cold. Pals, the pandemic is still very much a going concern.

Wearing a respirator not only prevents YOU from getting COVID - it also prevents you from spreading Covid.
It’s a powerful act of compassion and self care.
It says that you’re not willing to risk your health or the health of others.
