This weekend, I wrote about the state murder of Renee Good, and the fascist claim that her murderer enjoys absolute immunity, and a common-sense reversal of qualified immunity that protects civilians from authorities, rather than the other way around.

Absolute Immunity
Alignment with supremacy is a vile choice. Raising the natural costs for those who make that choice by putting first things first.

They call it “law and order.”
ICE enforcement concentrates on Latino communities, spreads fear, and tears families apart — while crime doesn’t fall.
That’s not enforcement.
That’s state-sponsored terrorism in service of MAGA fear politics.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

The Senate is on recess this whole week.
The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right.

I think folks on here get it, but seeing more media outlets call it an occupation, which seems right. This level of interference with everyday life is city-scale violence. It is constantly on nearly everyone’s minds.
