For non-Californians, if you're wondering why everyone's 👀:
HB is the place where anti-lockdown measures started during Covid (and you probably saw it on the news), and it has a reputation for conservatives/MAGA/white nationalist types.
There is a LONG history there.

The Trump regime is kidnapping people, including kids, using chemical weapons on them (including on kids), torturing them, executing them, & putting them in horrific concentration camps where many are tortured, killed, or disappeared
The comparison stands

I was always told that one of the central lessons of the Shoah is that legal, juridical regimes can still be immoral. The claim that Anne Frank was in Amsterdam "legally" is false, but more than that, the question "Was Anne Frank an illegal?" is so grossly missing the point of Holocaust remembrance.
To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

I genuinely saw an argument that using ICE whistles was "traumatic", "noise triggers", and somehow generational racism because cops used to use whistles too (?) and I'm like "what the fuck do you think a gunshot is, which would you prefer"

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism.
As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot.
Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

I get it, but also absolutely not.
Conversations about trees, especially among them, and between conversations about other things, including wrongdoings, keep us sane.
There's a time for everything, and one does not preclude the other.

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do
